By Boat
The first and most direct way to get to Sigri is to travel by boat. From June to September the port of Sigri is connected by the Piraeus–Mykonos–Mesta (Chios)–Sigri ferry.
Hopefully the development of a more frequent service will happen on completion of the new harbour in Sigri. Before then, one can book a ferry online or with travel agents on the island.
By yacht
As natural shelters, the bay and the harbor of Sigri offer excellent mooring spots for yachts. Access to the bay absolutely requires good navigation using your sea charts, especially during rough weather! As yet there is no bunkering place available.
By air
The fastest way to get to the island of Lesvos is by air.
