Kimolos to Lavrio Route Map
Magic Sea Ferries runs Kimolos to Lavrio on the high-speed Hsc Cat I, covering the distance to the Attica coast in around four hours. It is a catamaran, so the ride is quick and the seating is inside and allocated. The route heads northeast across the western Cyclades, usually calling at other islands before the mainland leg.
Lavrio sits on the southeast coast of Attica, near Sounio, and is a genuine alternative to Piraeus for reaching Athens. It is a historic mining town, built on the ancient silver workings, and now serves as a secondary ferry gateway with its own dedicated port. The Temple of Poseidon at Sounio is a short drive south along the coast, and arriving here avoids Piraeus traffic entirely.
The service runs close to daily in season, with fewer sailings either side of it. Current departures, journey times and fares are listed in the table below, with tickets usually starting around sixty euros. Bear in mind that Lavrio is further from central Athens than Piraeus and has no metro link, so factor in the bus or transfer time, though it is handy for Athens airport.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car at Lavrio port?
Rental desks at Lavrio itself are scarce; the port is a working harbour about 60km southeast of Athens and roughly 40km from Athens airport, a 30-40 minute drive. Most people picking up a car for a Cycladic ferry from here collect it at the airport or in Athens beforehand, or arrange supplier delivery to the port; compare options at Discover Cars.
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.
