Kea to Kimolos Route Map
Kea to Kimolos runs at around fourteen and a half hours on the Hellenic Seaways ferry Artemis, which is about as long as Cycladic crossings get. The ship is a conventional car ferry calling at multiple islands on its way south and west, so the duration reflects the stops rather than the distance. It is an overnight-length day at sea.
Kimolos is the small volcanic island just off the north-east tip of Milos, and it keeps a quiet, village-paced feel. Ferries tie up at Psathi, a little harbour on the east coast, with the main town, Chorio, a short walk or drive above and a small Venetian-era kastro at its heart. Unspoilt beaches and walking are the draw, and there is very little in the way of nightlife.
This sailing appears only a couple of times a fortnight. Exact dates, the operator and current fares are shown in the table below, starting around €15.50. Most travellers reach Kimolos on the short hop from Pollonia on Milos, or on the Piraeus to Milos line, so it is worth comparing those before committing to the long run.

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.

Tips for the Kea to Kimolos ferry
- The engine vibration on large overnight ferries is constant but usually becomes white noise within 30 minutes; most passengers sleep through it.
- If you are booking for a large group, call the operator or use their group booking form – online booking systems sometimes cap the number of tickets per transaction.
- 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'.
