Tips for the Rhodes–Agathonisi Ferry
- Rhodes has two separate ferry ports: large car ferries such as Blue Star Ferries use Akandia, while Dodekanisos Seaways catamarans and small boats to Symi depart from Kolona, just outside the Old Town walls – check your ticket for the correct one.
- Akandia port is roughly a 20-minute walk from the Old Town and has no shelter, seating or toilets while you wait, so it is more comfortable to wait in town and take a taxi straight to your ferry.
- Arrive at least one hour before departure to allow time to check in, since boarding for ferries from Rhodes typically closes around 20 minutes before the scheduled sailing time.
- Travelling in the shoulder season also means shorter queues at island attractions – the ferry journey is just one part of a more relaxed overall experience.
- In Agathonisi, you'll discover a tranquil and largely unspoiled island at the northernmost point of the Dodecanese, home to just two inland villages – Megalo Chorio and Mikro Chorio. Look out for the 11th-century stone-built domed structures beside the church of Agios Nikolaos, which once served as food warehouses.

Worth it if you're staying more than a couple of days, since the island is large and its two bus companies (Roda in the west, KTEL in the east) don't make it easy to combine both coasts in a day. The port is a 10-minute walk from Rhodes Old Town, with paid parking nearby. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.
