Why travel by ferry from Kos to Leros?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Kos to Leros ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Leros. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Kos to Leros is an ideal way to travel.

No need to worry about travelling with your bike
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Kos-Leros crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Leros to get off the boat.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Kos to Leros by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
You get much more rest than in the car
Driving for miles on end is not very relaxing, especially if you add the risk of traffic jams and accidents. The Kos Leros ferry trip is exactly the opposite. On board, depending on the Blue Star Ferries or Dodekanisos Seaways ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. You arrive in Leros stress-free and totally relaxed.
