Kythnos to Milos Route Map
Kythnos to Milos is served two very different ways. Seajets runs the fast craft Champion Jet1 down the western Cyclades in a little over two hours, while the Hellenic Seaways ferry Artemis takes a roundabout chain route that can run to fourteen hours depending on the calls. Check which vessel you are booking, because the difference is a morning against a whole day.
Milos is the volcanic island in the south-west Cyclades, best known as the find-site of the Venus de Milo and for the landscapes that draw most visitors now: the white rock shelves at Sarakiniko, the coloured cliffs of Firiplaka and Tsigrado, and the syrmata boathouses at Klima. Ferries arrive at Adamas, a working harbour town on a big natural bay, with car hire and buses at the quay. A hire car or scooter makes a real difference here, as the beaches are spread right around the island.
Between the two operators there are sailings most days in season, though the pattern is uneven and drops sharply in winter. Current departures, vessels and fares are shown in the table below, starting around €11. From Adamas there are onward links to Kimolos, Sifnos, Folegandros and Santorini.

Hiring a car
Do you need a car in Milos?
Yes, a car is genuinely useful on Milos. The ferry docks at Adamas, the island's main town and bus hub, so pickup is easy and buses cover Plaka and Pollonia, but the schedule is thin and most of the striking beaches, Sarakiniko, Firiplaka, Tsigrado, sit well outside it. Some access roads are unpaved, where standard insurance is void, so compare 4x4 options at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Kythnos to Milos ferry
- Delays are more common in peak season and in rough weather – check the board or your ferry operator's app rather than assuming your vessel is on time.
- Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
- If you are leaving luggage unattended on a ferry, remove all valuable items and do not leave your bag in an isolated or unsupervised area.
- Once you arrive in Milos, the volcanic island's extraordinary coastline reveals sea caves, coloured rock formations, and beaches of every kind, from the famous white pumice shores of Sarakiniko to the fishing village of Klima with its boathouses built into the rock. Milos is also the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820.
