Getting from Agathonisi to Thessaloniki

If you are heading to Thessaloniki from Agathonisi you are making your way from the northern Dodecanese group to the second largest city in Greece, in the north of the country.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agathonisi to Thessaloniki. Getting there by sea means taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Samos or Leros and then connecting to the wider Aegean ferry network, but the total journey takes the better part of two to three days. Flying is the only realistic option for most travellers.

Getting there by air

Both Thessaloniki and the nearest airports to Agathonisi have connections from Athens. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Thessaloniki, gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. A direct seasonal flight from Samos to Thessaloniki may also be available so check before routing through Athens. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos and fly to Thessaloniki via Athens. It is the only realistic approach. Check whether a direct Samos to Thessaloniki service is available for your dates as it would save the Athens connection entirely.
