Folegandros to Sikinos Route Map
The Folegandros to Sikinos ferry is one of those short hops that links two of the quieter, more characterful islands in the western Cyclades. Both islands have managed to hold on to a genuinely unhurried pace of life, and travelling between them by sea is the natural way to make the crossing.
On average, you can expect around 1 ferry per day throughout the year — a reliable enough frequency for what is a relatively short island-to-island connection.

Hiring a car
Do you need to rent a car on Sikinos?
Probably not. Sikinos has just two settlements, the port at Alopronia and Chora 3.5km uphill, linked by an hourly bus. Only two small rental outfits operate on the island, with stock limited in August, so most visitors get by on foot and the bus. If you want the freedom, check Discover Cars.
Do you need a car on Folegandros?
Not essential. Folegandros is small, and the bus that meets every ferry runs the 3.5km from the port at Karavostasis up to Chora in about ten minutes for a couple of euros. A car or scooter becomes useful once you want to reach the beaches below Ano Meria or Agali, which the bus does not serve directly. Rental desks operate in Chora, Karavostasis and Ano Meria; compare prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Folegandros to Sikinos ferry
- Take the local bus from Karavostasis to Chora, about 4km away – services are timed to meet ferry arrivals and departures, or use a taxi for the short uphill run to the main village.
- Arrive at the port in Karavostasis at least 30 to 60 minutes before your ferry is due to sail, since boarding and any last-minute schedule changes need time to sort out.
- Build a buffer day into your Folegandros trip: the island's ferry routes are among the first suspended when gale-force meltemi winds hit the exposed Aegean crossings in summer.
- Weather apps on your phone are useful as a rough guide but marine-specific forecasts (Poseidon, Windy, Windguru) are more accurate for sea conditions.
- In Sikinos, the double hilltop settlement of Chora – comprising the fortress village of Kastro and the adjacent Chorio – offers a wonderfully authentic Cycladic experience, with a Folklore Museum and traditional tavernas serving local dishes with capers. The port of Alopronia below is a sandy bay with a handful of traditional waterfront tavernas and a calm, unhurried atmosphere.
