Timetable and season of the Thessaloniki to Lemnos ferry
Sailing times on the Thessaloniki to Lemnos route depend on the operator and the month - as a rule weekly. Morning departures are usually the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Thessaloniki port.
Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.
Departure: Thessaloniki port
Thessaloniki port is where the Thessaloniki to Lemnos ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.
- Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
- Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
- Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
- Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Thessaloniki port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
Arrival: Myrina port, Lemnos
Arrival is at Myrina port, Lemnos. Lemnos is a quiet north Aegean island with wide sandy beaches, a Venetian castle above Myrina and a small desert-like dune field. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your accommodation by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.
Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.
On board the Thessaloniki to Lemnos ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage
On board, the ferry from Thessaloniki to Lemnos is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. Taking the car means driving on, parking as directed, and coming back down only at the arrival port.
- Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
- Vehicles on the car deck - give us the car's length and height when booking
- Children's fares by age; infants normally free
- Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling
Things to do in Lemnos after the ferry
Lemnos is a quiet north Aegean island with wide sandy beaches, a Venetian castle above Myrina and a small desert-like dune field. Start with Platy beach, Lemnos sand dunes and Hephaestia ruins, then Myrina castle.
Haqqi Tours arranges guided tours, tickets, transfers and private drivers in Lemnos; ask when you book the ferry and we send the options.
Best time to take the ferry from Thessaloniki to Lemnos
For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we look up before you plan.
Ferry or flight from Thessaloniki to Lemnos?
For most travellers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Thessaloniki and lands you in Lemnos itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel and the car, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours can provide flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.
Return ferry from Lemnos to Thessaloniki
The Lemnos to Thessaloniki ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 5 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.
How much does the ferry from Thessaloniki to Lemnos cost?
"How much is the ferry ticket from Thessaloniki to Lemnos?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your travel date and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - in a few minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.
Just ask for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Thessaloniki to Lemnos ferry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How much does the ferry from Thessaloniki to Lemnos cost?
It depends on the shipping line, the vessel (fast or conventional), the date, the seat or cabin and whether you take a car. Haqqi Tours checks the live fares for your travel date and sends the exact cost in the WhatsApp chat within minutes of receiving the form.
Can I change or cancel my ferry ticket?
Rules depend on the operator and the fare; many tickets can be changed for a fee, the cheapest cannot. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same WhatsApp thread.
Can I bring a pet?
Pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Let us know and we confirm what applies to your sailing.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Thessaloniki to Lemnos?
For most passengers the ferry: it lands in the town, carries all your luggage and the car and is usually cheaper door to door. We provide flights too and say honestly which is better for your dates.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange transfers to and from the ports?
Yes - a private car from your hotel to Thessaloniki port and a driver waiting at Myrina port, Lemnos, with room for the luggage, on the same confirmation as the ferry ticket.
How early should I be at Thessaloniki port?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before departure, vehicles 60 to 90 minutes; earlier on international crossings. Some fast boats board only minutes before sailing, so the margin matters.
Do I need a passport for this ferry?
Carry it; on international crossings passports are checked at the port, and an ID is required on many domestic sailings too. We tell you exactly what applies when we confirm.
Can I choose a seat or a cabin?
Yes, wherever the ship has classes - airline-style, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Say what you prefer and we send the cost of each.
Is the crossing rough?
Usually calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Let us know if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.
What if the weather cancels the sailing?
The company moves you to the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk sorts it out for you on the day. In poor forecasts we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails when the fast boats stay in port.
Do children need a ferry ticket?
Yes, at a child fare; infants generally sail free. Put the ages on the form and we apply the right fares for the Thessaloniki to Lemnos crossing.
Can I book a return ferry ticket?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper with many companies and we book whichever suits you best.
Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Luggage is not weighed on most ferries and is carried free within the ferry company's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes limit the number of bags. We tell you what applies to your sailing.
