These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

The Ios to Kimolos ferry is one of those routes that takes you from one mood of the Cyclades to another. Ios is lively and sociable; Kimolos is quieter, more remote, a place where the volcanic landscape meets the sea on its own unhurried terms. Connecting the two by ferry makes for a rewarding island hop.

Year-round, you can expect a ferry every two to three days on average, so it is worth checking the schedule before you plan your crossing.
