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.
Can you rent a car in Ios?
Yes. The port sits about 2km from Chora, with rental desks at both. A car isn't essential for the Chora to Mylopotas stretch, which is walkable and bus-served, but it's worth having to reach quieter spots like Manganari beach, roughly 19km to the south. Check current rates at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Ios to Milos ferry
- The port at Ormos sits about 2km below Chora – roughly a five-minute drive, a 20-minute walk, or a short bus ride from the stop just along the road from the ferry quay.
- Arrive at Ormos port at least an hour before departure in summer – traffic builds up around the port and you'll want time to secure a good deck or lounge seat before boarding.
- Ormos port has its own supermarkets, cafes, ATMs and car or motorbike hire outlets, so you can wait comfortably, withdraw cash or pick up rental transport without leaving the harbour area.
- Rain gear is rarely needed on summer ferry crossings, but a waterproof layer is worth having in spring and autumn when showers are possible.
- 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.
