Leros and Patmos sit close together in the northern Dodecanese, and the crossing from Agia Marina -- Leros's main port -- reflects that proximity. It is a short hop through sheltered water rather than an open-sea passage, which makes it a comfortable option even for travellers who are wary of longer ferry journeys. With four different operators running the route, you have a genuine choice between a quick, direct crossing and a slower boat that calls at other islands along the way, so it is worth checking which type of sailing suits your plans before you book.
Ferries run daily throughout the year, with the fullest timetable in the summer months when demand between the two islands is at its peak. Outside the high season the service continues but with fewer daily departures, so check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates and frequency before you travel.

Tips for the Agia Marina–Patmos Ferry
- If you are travelling with a pram or pushchair, store it in the designated vehicle area or a corridor space – it will not fit in the overhead racks.
- Parking at major ports is available but fills quickly in summer – if leaving your car, book a parking spot in advance or arrive very early.
- On a rough crossing, the best strategy is to fix your gaze on the horizon, breathe slowly, and avoid reading or looking at screens.
- Once you arrive in Patmos, the UNESCO-protected old town of Hora and the imposing Monastery of Saint John the Theologian – built in the 11th century – dominate the hilltop above the port. The Cave of the Apocalypse, where Saint John is said to have written the Book of Revelation, is one of the most important Christian pilgrimage sites in the world.

Roads are well maintained and quiet, so driving is easy. Compare suppliers at Discover Cars.

Yes. Leros is elongated and hilly, and while a limited bus service links Agia Marina with Platanos, Lakki and Alinda a few times a day, most visitors find a car or scooter easier for reaching Xirokambos beach or Partheni in the north.
