Ferry Connections to Other Greek islands

Based on current ferry schedules, Lesvos has good connections to several Greek islands, primarily from its main port at Mytilene (the capital) and occasionally from Sigri on the western coast.

Kastellorizo's limited ferry connections reflect its geographic isolation as Greece's easternmost outpost, but it remains accessible via regular services to major Dodecanese islands and Athens, with the Turkish connection providing an additional convenient access point.
