Getting from Agistri to Tilos

If you are heading to Tilos from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf to an island in the Dodecanese group, the first island in the Mediterranean to run entirely on renewable energy with good walking trails and a wild coastline.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agistri to Tilos. 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 Tilos ferry, which runs 2 to 3 times a week and takes around 15 hours. Flying to Rhodes or Kos and taking the local ferry across to Tilos is considerably more practical for most travelers.

Getting there by air

Tilos has no airport. The nearest airports are Rhodes and Kos. Taking the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, the metro to Athens Airport and flying to Rhodes, followed by the local ferry from Rhodes to Tilos taking around 2 to 3 hours, 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, fly to Rhodes or Kos via Athens and take the local ferry across to Tilos. It is the most practical approach by a significant margin. Check the Rhodes or Kos to Tilos schedule before booking your flights as the service does not run daily. If you are traveling with a car, take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus and board the overnight Piraeus to Tilos ferry, which takes your vehicle.
