Timetable and season of the Thessaloniki to Mytilene ferry

Sailing times on the Thessaloniki to Mytilene route depend on the operator and the month - as a rule weekly. Morning departures are normally 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.

Departure: Thessaloniki port

Thessaloniki port is where the Thessaloniki to Mytilene 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.

• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• 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 ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck

Arrival: Mytilene port, Lesbos

You step off at Mytilene port, Lesbos. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Onward journeys from Mytilene - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.

On board the Thessaloniki to Mytilene ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries

Things to do in Mytilene after the ferry

Mytilene is the main port and capital of Lesbos, with a Genoese castle, a lively harbour and the Ottoman-era old town. Start with Harbour promenade, Theophilos museum and Molyvos day trip, then Mytilene castle.

Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, transfers and private drivers in Mytilene; ask when you book the ferry and we send the options.

Best time to take the ferry from Thessaloniki to Mytilene

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 verify before you plan.

Ferry or flight from Thessaloniki to Mytilene?

Ferry versus plane between Thessaloniki and Mytilene comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Mytilene to Thessaloniki

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return ferry ticket from Mytilene to Thessaloniki booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the whole trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much does the ferry from Thessaloniki to Mytilene cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Thessaloniki to Mytilene?" 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 arranges the current cost for the date you travel and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - quickly 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 Mytilene ferry.
