Kythnos to Kimolos Route Map
Kythnos and Kimolos sit at opposite ends of the western Cyclades, and this crossing is one of the more useful links between them, bringing together a quieter, less-visited pair of islands that don't otherwise see much direct traffic. It isn't a route with dozens of daily departures, so it rewards a bit of planning rather than turning up on spec. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you build the rest of a multi-island itinerary around it.
What you get depends heavily on which operator you book. The fastest option covers the distance in under two hours, which suits anyone treating this as a quick island-hop, while the slowest sailing takes the best part of a day, calling at other ports along the way -- fine if you don't mind the scenery and want to string together stops, less fine if you just want to get from Kythnos to Kimolos. Worth weighing up alongside price when you compare the two booking links below, since the cheap fare and the fast fare aren't always the same sailing.

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 Kythnos to Kimolos ferry
- A Force 6 wind produces wave heights of 2–3 metres; even passengers who do not normally feel seasick may be affected in these conditions.
- Duty-free shopping is not available on domestic Greek ferry routes; what you see in the onboard shop is ordinary retail pricing.
- Onboard food prices are higher than onshore – if you are on a budget, bring sandwiches, fruit, and water from a supermarket before you board.
- When booking for the return leg of a day trip, remember that the last ferry of the day can fill up – book your return at the same time as your outward journey.
- 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'.
