Patmos

The island of Patmos, the birthplace of the Aegean Film Festival, is a remote and beautiful island in the south Aegean Sea. The journey might be long but allows the traveler to disconnect and get into the festival mood. It is all part of the Patmos Experience as we used to call it.

We are here to help you make it to the island. Festival pass holders will receive discounts from our hospitality and travel partners. So make sure to check out our passes here before you book your tickets.

Three of the most convenient ways of getting to the island are:

A. Fly to Athens – arrive before 12.00 – cross the city by train, bus, or taxi to Piraeus (1h) – take the Blue Star Ferry to Patmos (7-8h). A cabin, a good book, or a deck of cards are highly recommended… especially for the overnight return journey.

B. Fly to Kos, Kalymnos, Leros, or Ikaria – arrive early to catch the Dodekanisos Seaways (1-3h) or the evening Blue Star Ferry. Please check Open Ferry before booking your flights for more information on the connections.

C. Fly direct to Kos or Myconos, have a cocktail, charter a Sailing Boat, and arrive in style. This is also one of the most sustainable ways to travel.

Please keep in mind that our travels have a big impact on the environment and a substantial carbon footprint. We advise using less polluting vessels and soon we will offer options for offsetting some of this carbon by restoring the ecosystems of the Aegean.
