Ferry from Chania (Souda) to Milos (Adamas)

This is a long, open-water crossing between two islands that don't sit anywhere near each other on the map, and the timing reflects that: Chania sits on the north coast of Crete, Milos out on the western edge of the Cyclades, with a good stretch of the Aegean and Cretan Sea in between. Ferries leave from Souda, Chania's port a short drive from the old town, and dock at Adamantas on Milos, the island's main harbour. Book through Ferryscanner above, and check the schedule box for the latest confirmed sailing dates before you plan around it. Our Adamas port in Milos guide has more on the harbour and getting into Plaka once you land.

One sailing a day keeps this route simple to plan around -- there's no juggling multiple departure times, just the one crossing to build your day or your onward connections around. It's a long enough run that most people treat it as a proper travel day rather than a quick hop, so allow for that when you're booking accommodation either side.

Hiring a car

Do you need a car in Milos?

Yes, a car is genuinely useful on Milos. The ferry docks at Adamas, the island's main town and bus hub, so pickup is easy and buses cover Plaka and Pollonia, but the schedule is thin and most of the striking beaches, Sarakiniko, Firiplaka, Tsigrado, sit well outside it. Some access roads are unpaved, where standard insurance is void, so compare 4x4 options at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Chania to Milos ferry

• If you have a connecting ferry from the same port, check the departure board immediately on disembarking and confirm the gate for your next vessel.
• High-speed services between the Cyclades often run reduced frequencies in spring and autumn compared to July and August; check the actual timetable.
• Sunscreen and insect repellent are both considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops; stock up on the mainland.
• Once you arrive in Milos, the volcanic island's extraordinary coastline reveals sea caves, coloured rock formations, and beaches of every kind, from the famous white pumice shores of Sarakiniko to the fishing village of Klima with its boathouses built into the rock. Milos is also the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820.
