Kos Port Information

The island of Kos has three ferry ports: Chora, Kardamena and Mastichari, each serving different regions and connections. The ferry connections vary depending on the time of year, with more connections being offered in the summer months. Travelers can choose between conventional ferries and faster high-speed catamarans. For optimal travel planning, it is advisable to check and compare departure times, routes and prices in advance. Numerous online platforms offer information and booking options for the various ferry connections.

The port of Chora

Chora is the main port on the island of Kos and is located in Kos Town on the north-east coast of the island. The port serves most ferry lines and offers connections to numerous destinations, including Piraeus, Rhodes, Patmos, Kalymnos, Leros, the Cyclades and Bodrum in Turkey. Chora offers various services and facilities such as ticket offices, cafés and restaurants and plays a central role in the island's transportation links.

The port of Kardamena

Kardamena is located on the south coast of Kos and is the smallest of the island's three ferry ports. The port mainly offers connections to the islands of Nisyros and Tilos. Despite its small size, Kardamena is an important hub for local and international fishermen and also serves tourist routes, especially in the summer months.

The port of Mastichari
