Kimolos to Syros Route Map
Kimolos to Syros is a long crossing, between about six and a half and nearly nine hours on Hellenic Seaways' Artemis. The ship calls at a string of islands on its way north through the Cyclades, which is what stretches the journey. It is a conventional ferry with proper deck space, so the time passes more easily than the figure suggests.
Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades, and its main town Ermoupoli is a working city rather than a resort. Grand neoclassical architecture, an opera house and a set of good museums set it apart from its neighbours. The harbour is overlooked by two hilltop quarters, Catholic Ano Syros and Orthodox Vrontado, each crowned by a church.
The service runs only a few times a fortnight, so check dates against the timetable below, where journey times and fares are also listed; tickets usually start around twelve euros. Syros is a key ferry hub with wide onward connections across the Cyclades, which makes it a practical place to change ships.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Syros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right in Ermoupoli, a short walk from where the ferry docks. Syros Town itself is easily walkable, but a car earns its keep for reaching Kini, Galissas and Poseidonia beaches, each 8-10km away on the other side of the island. Compare prices across local suppliers 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.

Tips for the Kimolos to Syros ferry
- Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
- If cabins are sold out, reserve an airline-style reclining seat rather than deck class – it is far more comfortable for a full night's crossing.
- Once you arrive in Syros, the elegant capital Ermoupoli – with its grand neoclassical town hall, marble-paved Miaouli Square, and the Apollo Theatre – reflects the island's prosperous 19th-century history as the commercial centre of the Aegean. The hilltop medieval settlement of Ano Syros, built by the Venetians around 1200 CE, offers a contrasting older layer of island history.
