Livadia Port is the main gateway to Tilos, a captivating island in the Greek Dodecanese known for its untouched nature, and serves as the island's primary connection to the outside world. Bodrum - Tilos ferry services, for which you can securely purchase tickets through Turkey's most comprehensive ferry portal, feribotseferleri.com.tr, arrive directly at this charming and natural port.

Situated on the southeastern coast of Tilos island in the wide Livadia bay, which provides natural protection against the winds, the port is located at coordinates 36.41°N latitude and 27.39°E longitude. Geographically positioned approximately 65 kilometers from Rhodes and 90 kilometers from Kos, Tilos is one of the Aegean Sea's most tranquil and peaceful routes. The 157-kilometer nautical distance from Bodrum is comfortably crossed by the fast Sea Star catamaran, which is 35 meters long and has a capacity of 275 passengers.
Livadia Port has a small, natural, and intimate structure, far from the chaos of large commercial ports. As you step into the port, you are greeted by the island's warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is a standard passport control point at the port for international arrivals. As a very important reminder, Tilos island absolutely does not offer the "gate visa" (visa on arrival) system applied in islands like Kos or Rhodes. To enter the island, passengers must have a valid Schengen visa. The port area features a small waiting area where passengers can relax, cafeterias offering refreshing drinks, and taxi and bus connection points providing transportation to the island's interior. After disembarking from our passenger-only Sea Star vessel, you can take advantage of the amenities around the port. Although there is no Wi-Fi on board, you can enjoy snacks and beverages sold while traveling on the open deck, and have a comfortable journey with your pet.

With a resident population of around 500 and a surface area of 63 square kilometers, Tilos is one of the rare Greek islands that has managed to stay away from mass tourism. The entire island is protected as a nature reserve due to its rich biodiversity. The island's beaches provide an important habitat for sea turtles (Caretta Caretta), while its steep cliffs host rare bird species and vultures. Historically a frequent stop for sea pirates, the island is today a favorite for travelers seeking a peaceful holiday intertwined with nature. The main settlements of the island are Livadia, where the port is located, and the hilltop capital Megalo Chorio. The Ancient Acropolis shedding light on the island's past, the abandoned village of Mikro Chorio which takes on a different atmosphere at night, and the Charkadio Cave, where dwarf elephant fossils that made a great impact in the paleontology world were found, are among the most fascinating treasures of Tilos.
