Help me please with Greek Island ferry planning
I have flights from Athens to Kos and wish to travel from Kos to Leros on Tuesday 27th May 2014
I have search many ferry sites ( Gtp ,openseas, directferries etc ) for planning and all are telling me services are either a Thursday or Sunday.
Would anyone know of any other services not mentioned yet as it is too early ?
Thank you

Many of the local ferry services are very late to publish their timetables. There is a small local catamaran called DODEKANISOS PRIDE that operates daily during the summer months, and it did sail on Tuesday May 28th. It is reasonable to assume it will also sail on the corresponding Tuesday in 2014, but you will have to wait until timetables are published to be sure. You can see what ran this year by going to www.openseas.gr and backtracking to May.

I suppose you want to visit Kos, otherwise you would have booked a Olympic flight to Leros.
The ferry Nissos Kalymnos runs 4times weekly all the year round from Kalymnos (Pothia) to Leros (Lakki) - Lipsi - Patmos - Arki - Agathonissi - Samos (Pythagorio).
The catamaran Dodekanisos Pride runs actually 3times weekly (in summer daily) from Rhodos to Kos - Kalymnos - Leros - Lipsi - Patmos.
The hydrofoil Erato runs during the season only: Kos - Kalymnos - Leros - Samos (Pythagorio).
Bluestarferries run once or twice weekly between Kos and Leros, often in the middle of the night.
During the season, there are some excursion boats from Northern Kalymnos to Leros.

My initial plan was to start in Kos then ferry to Patmos but as we haven't been to Leros we decided to alter the plans.
Thanks for all the information,it looks like I'll have some choices.
