- Adult passenger in economy class: €47.
- Private car transport: €133, with the fare subject to confirmation during booking.
The driver's passenger fare is charged separately from the vehicle ticket.

The final fare is confirmed before payment, based on the travel date, accommodation category and number of passengers.
Which intermediate ports does the ferry visit?
The Blue Star Myconos makes six intermediate port calls between Thessaloniki and Evdilos.
The route includes:
These stops serve passengers and vehicles travelling between the islands.
Passengers travelling all the way to Ikaria remain aboard the same vessel. There is no need to transfer luggage to another ferry or arrange a connecting sailing.
The multiple port calls make this connection different from a non-stop sea crossing.
Cabins and seating options for a long crossing
As the journey includes overnight travel, choosing suitable onboard accommodation is particularly important.
The Blue Star Myconos offers economy-class accommodation, numbered seats and cabins.
Economy class is suitable for passengers who want to keep travel costs lower.
Numbered seats provide an assigned place, while cabins offer greater privacy and an opportunity to rest.
If you are travelling with young children or want to sleep during the night, check cabin availability before completing your reservation.
Keep any personal belongings you may need during the crossing with you in the passenger areas.
Taking your car to Ikaria
Bringing your own vehicle is one of the main advantages of this connection for travellers planning to explore different parts of the island.
The Blue Star Myconos has a vehicle garage for cars and motorcycles.
When booking, select the correct vehicle category and enter the required details.
Pay particular attention to:
- Cars fitted with roof racks or roof boxes.
- Vehicles with greater-than-standard length or height.
- Caravans and motorhomes.
- Motorcycles carrying additional equipment.
Having a car in Ikaria makes it easier to reach villages, beaches and mountainous areas located away from the main ports.

The port is close to the city centre, with access from the Ladadika district and the main road network.
Travellers arriving from other parts of Macedonia can arrange transport by car, taxi or available public transport services.
If you are travelling with a vehicle, follow the ferry company's boarding instructions and arrive at the designated vehicle waiting area in good time.
The exact boarding location should be confirmed before departure.
Arriving in Evdilos: How to reach your final destination
Evdilos is located on the northern coast of Ikaria and is an important port for residents and visitors.
Address: Evdilos Port, Evdilos 83302, Ikaria, Greece.
From the port, you can continue towards Kampos, Armenistis, Nas and other settlements in northern Ikaria.
Travelling to Agios Kirykos and destinations on the southern side of the island involves a longer road journey through mountainous terrain.
Distances shown on a map do not always reflect actual driving times, as many roads have continuous bends.
If you do not have a car, arrange your onward journey by taxi, rental vehicle or available local public transport before arrival.
Why choosing the right port in Ikaria matters
Ikaria has two main passenger ports: Evdilos and Agios Kirykos.
Evdilos serves the northern part of the island, while Agios Kirykos is located in the southeast.
If your accommodation is near Armenistis or Kampos, arriving in Evdilos is a practical choice.
For accommodation near Agios Kirykos or Therma, you should take into account the road journey from the port to your destination.
Before selecting your ticket, make sure the arrival port is the most convenient one for your travel plans.
