Kimolos to Sikinos Route Map
Kimolos to Sikinos takes a little over two hours, sometimes closer to two and a half. Fast Ferries and Hellenic Seaways both work the route, with the Dionisios Solomos and the Artemis, calling at Folegandros on the way in most cases. Both are conventional ships with deck space and vehicle decks.
Sikinos is a small, quiet island between Folegandros and Ios, and one of the least visited in the Cyclades. The port, Alopronia, is a small harbour set apart from the hilltop main village, with a short road connecting the two. There is very little tourism infrastructure, which is precisely why people come: simple beaches, traditional village life around the Chora and Kastro, and no crowds.
Sailings are infrequent, a couple of times a week and seasonal, so check the timetable below before you commit; journey times and fares are shown there, with tickets usually starting around eight euros. Sikinos is generally a stop on the Piraeus to Folegandros and Santorini line, so onward options tend to follow that axis.

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 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 Kimolos to Sikinos ferry
- If you are prone to seasickness and see a Force 5–6 forecast, take preventive medication the night before as well as on the morning of travel.
- Luggage can be stored in the overhead racks inside the seating areas or along the corridors; there is no formal left-luggage system.
- Some booking sites charge a service fee on top of the base fare; the total shown at checkout is what matters, not just the headline price.
- On routes where two or more operators compete, compare prices and journey times – the price difference for vehicles can be particularly significant.
- 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.
