Ferry from Lakki to Karlovasi
The Lakki–Karlovasi ferry route connects the island of Leros with Samos, carrying travellers from the sheltered harbour of Lakki to Karlovasi on the island’s north-west coast. Lakki is known for its spacious natural bay and distinctive Italian-influenced townscape, while Karlovasi offers a more rugged, working harbour atmosphere shaped by Samos’s maritime and industrial past.
