During the summer season, Ikaria (Evdilos) is connected to Athens up to 5 times per week and Aghios Kirykos 1 time by the ferry Blue Star Mykonos. Once a week there is a connection from Thessaloniki or Kavala.
The ferry port on the southern side of the island is called Agios Kiryko .
The ferry port on “our” northern side is Evdilos. Our property is about a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from there.
