Getting from Agistri to Kasos

If you are heading to Kasos from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to the southernmost island in the Dodecanese group, on the opposite side of Greece. It has a maritime history that produced some of Greece's most celebrated sea captains and an authenticity that comes from being almost entirely off the tourist circuit.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agistri to Kasos. The most practical ferry approach is to take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, which takes around 55 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes, and then board the Piraeus to Kasos ferry, which runs 3 to 5 times a week and takes around 13 to 17 hours. Flying via Rhodes is considerably more practical for most travelers.

Getting there by air

Kasos has its own small airport with connections from Athens via Rhodes. Taking the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, the metro to Athens Airport and flying to Rhodes and then Rhodes to Kasos gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus and fly to Rhodes via Athens, then connect to Kasos by air or local ferry. Check the schedule carefully as the Kasos service runs a limited number of times per week. If you are traveling with a car, take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus and board the overnight Piraeus to Kasos ferry, which takes your vehicle and arrives after around 13 to 17 hours depending on the route.
