Ferry from Apollonia (Milos) to Kimolos (Psathi)

Apollonia, on the northeast coast of Milos, is the departure point for the short hop across to Kimolos, and the crossing takes about twenty-five minutes. Kimolos Link runs it with the Osia Methodia, a small vehicle-carrying boat that shuttles back and forth across the strait. It is one of the most frequent short crossings in the Cyclades.

Kimolos is a small volcanic island immediately northwest of Milos, quiet and low-key with village life rather than nightlife. Boats dock at Psathi, a small harbour on the east coast, a short walk or drive from the main town, Chorio. Chorio has a Venetian-era kastro at its heart, and the island's unspoilt beaches and walking routes are the main draw for day visitors and longer stays alike.

The shuttle runs many times a day through the season, which makes a day trip from Milos straightforward without much planning. Current sailings and fares are shown in the table below. Apollonia is reached by road from Adamas, Milos's main port, in about twenty minutes.

Hiring a car

Do you need a car on Kimolos?

Not really. Kimolos is tiny, only about 900 people live there, and the port at Psathi is just 1km from the main village, Chorio. Most visitors walk or hire a scooter or quad locally for the short hops to beaches like Aliki (3km) or Prassa (6.5km). A car is only worth arranging if you want to bring one over from Milos on the vehicle ferry; compare options at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Apollonia to Kimolos ferry

• Greek ferries do not impose a luggage limit for foot passengers – you can bring as much as you can physically carry, but you must manage it yourself.
• A rough sea crossing in a large conventional ferry is inconvenient but very rarely dangerous; Greek ferry operators have strict safety protocols and experienced crews.
• The bow (front) of the vessel experiences the most pitching in head-on swells; the stern tends to be smoother when seas are rough.
• In Kimolos, the main settlement of Horio at the foot of Mt Ksaplovouni enchants with its Cycladic simplicity and a castle at its heart. The island's volcanic origins give the landscape a distinctive character, with grey-white rocks rising from crystal-clear waters that the Venetians once called 'silvery'.
