Ferry to Samothraki: price, info and schedule 2024

Ferry to Samothraki: price, info and schedule 2024

The only port from where you can take the ferry to Samothraki is Alexandroupolis, on the mainland. There has been a plan for many years to restore the connection to Kavala, but nothing concrete came out of it.

The ferry that makes the trip to and from Samothraki is called Adamantios Korais. The ship belonged to Zante Ferries until the autumn of 2024 when Fast Ferries bought it. FROM DECEMBER 5th, 2024, FAST FERRIES HAS BEEN THE COMPANY THAT PROVIDES FERRY SERVICE BETWEEN ALEXANDROUPOLI AND SAMOTHRAKI!

Ferry schedule 2024: Alexandroupoli - Samothraki - Limnos

Alexandroupolis-Samothraki

In high season (between the beginning of June and the start of September) there are daily trips between Alexandroupolis and Samothraki and back. In some days of the week there are even two trips.

In the offseason (from September to May), there's usually one ferry trip per day from Alexandroupolis to Samothraki, but on Wednesdays, there's no return trip from Samothraki to Alexandroupolis.

The duration of the trip from Alexandroupoli to Samothraki is 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Samothraki-Limnos

For the past couple of years, there's a direct connection between Samothraki and Limnos (Lemnos). Consequently, in some days of the week (only in summer) the ferry that departs from Alexandroupoli also stops in Limnos after stopping in Samothraki.

The duration of the trip from Samothraki to Limnos is 2 hours and 50 minutes.

Tip: if you have a few more days to spare, take advantage of the direct ferry connection and visit both islands. Limnos is a beautiful place, well worth a visit.

Alexandroupolis-Limnos

The total duration of the trip from Alexandroupoli to Limnos (including the stop in Samothraki) is of about 5 hours and 20 minutes.

Samothraki ferry booking

Online bookings

  • number and name of the passengers;
  • date of birth;
  • nationality;
  • contact information for one person (email, phone number);
  • type of vehicle;
  • registration number.

Buy tickets in person

You may also buy ferry tickets to Samothraki directly from the office in the port of Alexandroupoli. You will most likely find tickets, but there's also a chance that there aren't any tickets left for your ferry of choice - especially in high season. Also, there's a possibility that the economy tickets run out and you are left with only the more expensive ones.

In Samothraki tickets can be bought at the wooden kiosk in the port parking lot in Kamariotissa.

Bringing your pet on the ferry

Pets don't need a ticket. The ship has special areas for animals and for reasons pertaining to hygiene are not allowed indoors.

On the deck, dogs can't be left alone and are required to wear a leash and a muzzle.

Travelers must have the pet's up-to-date health card and are solely responsible for its care, hygiene and safety.

The ship Adamantios Korais

For over 20 years (up until 2019, when there were a number of problems), the link between the island of Samothraki and mainland Greece was serviced by Saos Ferries (in 2017 there was an attempt by CS Ferries to provide an alternative connection, but it hasn't materialized).

From 2019 to 2024, the company responsible for the route was Zante Ferries, with their ship Adamantios Korais. In the autumn of 2024, Fast Ferries bought the ship.

The vessel was built in 1987 in a Japanese ship yard and was used on various routes in Japan up until 2007 when it was bought by Zante Ferries. The ship was refurbished and modified. It takes its name after Adamantios Korais, a Greek writer who lived in the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th.

The ferry is painted white and bright orange and has the following specifications:

  • length: 100 meters;
  • width: 17 meters;
  • maximum capacity: 1100 passengers and 250 cars;
  • speed: 18.6 knots (35 km/h).

On the ferryboat to Samothraki

The only document you need to get on the ferry is the ticket. Passengers must get out of the car and board on foot.

Important! As of May 2024, Greece changed the rules for transporting electric cars and plug-in hybrids on the ferry. For electric and rechargeable hybrid (plug-in) vehicles, the battery temperature should be checked and the charge level must not exceed 40% of their total capacity. For vehicles using compressed natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), tanks should not be more than 50% full. The vehicles can not be connected to any source of electrical energy on board of the ferry.

The ferry is spacious and modern. There is a bar where you can buy a snack or something to drink while on route. Sandwiches cost 1.6-3.9€, pies 2.8€, a bottle of water 0.6€, soft drinks 2.3€, Greek coffee 1.5€, espresso 1.8€, frappe 2.4€, beer 2.7€ and various coffee based drinks (cappuccino, freddo cappuccino, freddo espresso) between 2.9 and 3.5€.

On the ship you'll meet all sorts of travelers - from barefooted hippies leaning on a huge backpack, to elderly tourist enamored by the island for many years, to locals bringing supplies from the mainland. It's not uncommon to see people dancing or doing yoga on the deck.

Even though it's summertime and it's warm, it would be advisable to have a windbreaker or hoodie on you and probably a cap or a hat if you plan on staying on the upper deck. A nice distraction on the trip are the seagulls following the ship (usually fed by people on board with biscuits and bread), the elusive dolphins that may follow the ship for short periods of time and the unmistakable silhouette of the island that grows bigger as you get closer.

Seagulls often follow the ferry.
Seagulls often follow the ferry.

After a two hour journey the ferry will lay anchor in the harbor of Kamariotissa in Samothraki. Once there, the journey continues by car, scooter or local buses.

Kales diakopes! ("Have a nice holiday!")

After a 2 hour ferry journey you'll be in Samothraki.

Thank you so much for your quick reply! May I ask, if the ship Proteus will connect Alexandroupoli and Samothraki daily after the 9th of November? Or might it be possible that the ferry does not run every day?
InSamothraki.com
05 Nov 2020, 23:48
I'm not sure, but I think it will continue to run every day, except for the Wednesdays, when there's only one way (Alexandroupoli-Samothraki), without returning on the same day.

did i read correctly that just to go on the ferry alexandrouplis to samothraki passengers need a negative pcr test within 72 hours prior?? is that correct as of 01st July.
InSamothraki.com
01 Jul 2021, 13:33
Yes, the law says that in order to travel by ferry to the islands you have to fill a form and you have to present a certificate of vaccination (minimum 14 days after the second dose) OR a PCR test (taken within the last 72 hours) OR a self or rapid test (taken within the last 24 hours) OR a certificate of recovery (2-9 months).

You can read about it here (you can use Google Translate):

Hi,
It's difficult to say. Usually there are no problems to buy tickets on the spot, but if you want to be sure it's better to book in advance, especially in high season.

Hi,
Yes, the ferry departs at 15.30 from Alexandroupoli for Samothraki. Normally you could buy tickets directly in the harbour, but in august there were some cases when the ship was full. So it depends...

Hi there!
We are planning a trip to samothraki and I have two questions:
- Can I take a bicycle on the ferry? Do I need to pay extra for it? How much would that be if so?
- Is there a parking lot nearby the ferry terminal? How can I access its pricing list?

Thank you!
Best,
Martin
InSamothraki.com
01 Apr 2022, 10:31
Hi Martin, there's no problem taking the bike on the ferry. I don't think you'll have to pay for it, but just to be sure check with Zante Ferries beforehand (+302551082289). There is a parking lot in Alexandroupoli on the right just outside the ferry terminal. The price is 1.5 EUR for the first hour, 1.5 EUR for the second hour, 3 EUR beginning with the third hour till midnight (then the second day of parking begins and so on).
Martin
24 May 2022, 23:44
Thanks for the response. :)
So if We leave the car at that parking lot for 9 days - we would pay 9 days x 3 EUR = 27 EUR? Is that correct?
Thank you.
InSamothraki.com
26 May 2022, 14:53
Hi Martin, I just went by the parking. The prices are a little higher this season: 2 EUR for the first hour, 1 EUR for the second hour and then +0,2 - + 0,5 EUR per hour. If you want to leave the car for 24 hours the price will be 10 EUR, so for 9 days the parking will cost you 90 EUR.

Hi Leilani,
I think Athens Car Rental allows you, but please check with them (www.athens-carrental.com). There is also the option to rent a car on the island.

During off-season you can purchase the tickets directly from the port. In peak season...well, it depends on the demand. I usually advise people to book the tickets in advance. Last year there were days when the ferry was full and there weren't any tickets available for the current day.

No, because it is the same ferry that will go to Limnos during summer (the route is Alexandroupoli-Samothraki-Limnos). To get to Limnos you can get Blue Star Ferries from Kavala. In May there is a ferry on Wednesdays:

Επειδή διαπιστώνω ότι υπάρχει μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον για τα δρομολόγια μετά την 1/6. Να ενημερώσω ότι στον φετινό διαγωνισμό για τις γραμμές Αλεξανδρούπολη - Σαμοθράκη και Αλεξανδρούπολη - Σαμοθράκη - Λήμνο (πάνε μαζί) συμμετείχε και δεύτερη εταιρεία, μετά την κατοχύρωση της γραμμής εκ νέου στην ΖΑΝΤΕ η δεύτερη έχει υποβάλλει ένσταση. Οπότε μέχρι να τελεσιδικήσει η υπόθεση, η ΖΑΝΤΕ δεν μπορεί να δημοσιεύσει πρόγραμμα δρομολογίων σύμφωνα με ενημέρωση που υπήρξε σε προηγούμενη συνεδρίαση του Δημοτικού Συμβουλίου Σαμοθράκης (;;;)... Προσωπικά έχω γράψει και μέσα στο blog μου (irineossamothraki.blogspot.com) ότι θα μπορούσε η εταιρεία να δημοσιεύσει ένα άτυπο πρόγραμμα και αν δικαιωθεί να το εφαρμόσει, για να γνωρίζουν οι υποψήφιοι επισκέπτες να προγραμματίσουν τις διακοπές τους στο νησί μας... Αλλά...
Παντώς σίγουρα θα υπάρχουν καθημερινά δρομολόγια τουλάχιστον 1-2 από και προς Αλεξανδρούπολη και 3 την εβδομάδα από και προς Λήμνο, δεν χρειάζεται να ανησυχούν οι φίλοι του νησιού... Τόσο η ΖΑΝΤΕ όσο και το πλοίο της είναι απολύτως αξιόπιστα και δεν πρόκειται να επιστρέψουμε στο μαύρο παρελθόν...
Ευχαριστώ για την φιλοξενία inSamothraki...

Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ για την ενημέρωση. Βάζω εδώ και την μετάφραση στα αγγλικά.

The translation of the comment above (thank you, Irineos):

"Because there's great interest about the timetable after the 1st of June, I'd like to inform you that, this year, there was a second company that bid on the routes Alexandroupoli-Samothraki and Alexandroupoli-Samothraki-Limnos.

After the route was assigned to Zante Ferries, the second company contested the auction. According to the notice from the meeting of the Samothraki Municipal Council, until the dispute is resolved, Zante can't publish an official timetable.

I've written on my blog (irineossamothraki.blogspot.com) that the company might publish an unofficial timetable and if the dispute is resolved in their favor, that timetable would become official so that potential visitors could plan their holiday on the island.

Anyway, there will be at least one or two trips per day to Alexandroupoli and three a week to Limnos, so there's no need to worry. Both Zante and their ferry are trustworthy and there's no way things will return to the uncertainty of the past.

Thank you for hosting my reply InSamothraki."

Στην σελίδα της ΖΑΝΤΕ FERRIES στο σύστημα κρατήσεων έχουν ανέβει τα δρομολόγια έως 3/9 αρχικά και σύντομα θα αναρτηθούν και σε πίνακα στην σελίδα.
Σήμερα ο πρόεδρος της εταιρείας ήταν καλεσμένος στο Samothraki Web Radio και είπε ότι προχθές τελείωσε δικαστικά η υπόθεση.

How does one book a ferry in advance with a rentacar since the ferry booking site needs the vehicle license plate and the rentacar agencies can only give you this information on the day of the pickup?
InSamothraki.com
13 Jul 2023, 15:16
Usually you have to write RENT123 instead of the license plate, but please check again with the ferry company.

Buongiorno, sono interessata a sapere i giorni in cui ci sarà il traghetto da Samotracia a Limnos ad Agosto 2024 perchè vorrei prenotare un alloggio a Limnos. Come posso fare per saperlo?
Grazie mille
InSamothraki.com
10 Feb 2024, 11:04
Buongiorno,
Zante Ferries non ha pubblicato ancora gli orari estivi della nave. L'anno scorso le partenze per Limnos si facevano lunedi, mercoledi e sabato mentre il ritorno avveniva lunedi, mercoledi e domenica. E' possibile che sia lo stesso anche quest'anno, ma non e' una garanzia.
Cinzia Tonani
11 Feb 2024, 13:06
Grazie mille. Per favore, sapete dirmi più o meno, quando saranno pubblicati gli orari estivi?
InSamothraki.com
11 Feb 2024, 13:43
Penso che in aprile, più o meno. L'anno scorso gli orari sono stati pubblicati all'inizio di maggio.

Hi,
As far as I know yes, there is a general transportation strike in Greece on the 17th of April. I'd recommend you send an email to alexandroupolis@zanteferries.gr and ask them directly.

Thank you very much for any hints!

Yes, off course there will be a ferry. Most probably the schedules will be published in the second part of September.

Hi, you can try, sometimes there's a waiting list and some cars can go on the ferry, but there is no guarantee.

Can I record the waiting time via phone? Or do I definitely need to come? I will be coming from a distance, that's why I'm asking.

Then you'd better call Zante Ferries first and ask them.

We are organizing a tour to North Greece next June 2025. I saw the schedule to Samothraki from Alexandroupoli in november and its possible to go in the same day mondays and tuesdays, Could you tell me the schedule for this ferry that Zante Ferries offered in june 2024 and this way I can have an idea for next year?

Is possible to go in the ferry with big bus?

Another question very important: In June Archeological site and museum are open every day, what opening hours?

Best regards
InSamothraki.com
22 Nov 2024, 18:58
Hi,
You can find below the ferry schedule for June 2024:
- Mon, Tue, Sat: from Alexandroupoli at 08.00, from Samothraki at 17.30
- Wed: from Alexandroupoli at 08.00 and 20.00, from Samothraki at 17.30
- Thu: from Alexandroupoli at 16.00, from Samothraki at 07.00 and 19.00
- Fri, Sun: from Alexandroupoli at 16.00, from Samothraki at 19.00

Anyway, there's no guarantee that the same schedule will be kept for 2025, especially that currently there are some changes going on with the ferry company.

Yes, it's possible go to the ferry with big buses.

Normally, the Archeological Museum and the Sanctuary of the Great Gods are open every day in June, between 08.30 and 15.30. The ticket price is 6 EUR for both of them.
