FERRIES TO AND FROM KASSOS - ISLANDHOPPING FROM KASSOS

From Kassos there are regular ferries (as well normal as socalled "superfast ferries") to the town of Piraeus on the mainland and to other islands in the surroundings, such as Crete, Karpathos and several islands in the Dodecanese group. You can check the times and prices and if you like you can book a ticket ahead on the site of Ferries in Greece. Especially if you want to be on a superfast ferry during the high season this could be a good plan. Kasos has an airport for for domestic flights and can also be reached by plane from Athens with Olympic Air (national flights only because there is no international airport). The journey takes about 2 hours and includes a stop at the island of Karpathos. The earlier you book the cheaper it is. Sometimes you have to be fast because tickets seem to be sold out quickly. If you book early it is a little bit more expensive than going by ferry, but you save yourself a lot of time (the bus ride to Piraeus of almost one and a half hour and the time on the ferry). Alternatively you can fly to Karpathos, which has an international airport and from there take a domestic flight to Kasos. This trip takes about 15 minutes.
