Teil von Dodecanese, Greece
Take the ferry to Kos, an island in Greece’s Dodecanese group, where ancient ruins and long stretches of beach invite you to linger. The harbour in Kos Town puts you close to the island’s historic centre and makes a convenient starting point for exploring the east coast. Mastichari, on the north coast facing neighbouring Kalymnos, offers a quieter seaside base and another useful geographical reference when choosing where to arrive.

Ferry Travel to Kos
Ferry travel to Kos brings you to an island in Greece’s Dodecanese group, where the arrival harbour can make a real difference to your onward journey. The main harbour in Kos Town, on the north-eastern coast, is the natural choice for staying in the capital or heading towards nearby Psalidi. For accommodation around Tigaki or Marmari on the northern coast, weigh the onward road journey alongside the crossing rather than choosing by departure time alone. Mastichari, farther west on the north coast, is another harbour to distinguish from Kos Town, particularly if your stay centres on Mastichari itself or the western part of the island. Kardamena lies on the southern coast, so an arrival there places you closer to that resort rather than the capital; treat these as separate arrival points, not interchangeable names for the same port.
Kos also fits naturally into a wider Dodecanese itinerary, with Kalymnos to the north-west and Nisyros to the south. Kalymnos adds a strong climbing and maritime character, while Nisyros offers volcanic landscapes and compact villages, giving each a distinct reason to extend your trip. The practical trade-off is that another island means another transfer and accommodation change, so a longer stay on Kos may suit you better than several short stops if you want time for both its archaeological sites and beaches. When choosing your ferry, match the named arrival harbour to your accommodation and consider how it fits the next stage of your island journey.
