Lavrio to Kimolos Route Map
Two very different services connect Lavrio with Kimolos. Magic Sea Ferries' Hsc Cat I makes it in around four hours, while Hellenic Seaways' conventional Artemis takes far longer, up to fifteen and a half hours on its full multi-stop run down the Cyclades. The difference in time and price between the two is large, so it pays to look at which vessel you are actually booking.
Kimolos is a small volcanic island immediately northeast of Milos, quiet and low-key where its bigger sister is busy. The port, Psathi, is a modest harbour on the east coast with the main town, Chorio, a short walk or drive above it, complete with the remains of a Venetian kastro. People come for unspoilt beaches, walking and a slower pace than almost anywhere else in the western Cyclades.
Between the two operators there is something close to a daily service in season, though the pattern is uneven across the week. Current departures, journey times and fares are shown below. The short crossing from Pollonia on Milos is the other common way in, and it runs frequently through the summer.

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.
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.

Tips for the Lavrio to Kimolos ferry
- Medicines, including seasickness tablets and any prescription drugs, should always be in your day bag, not buried in hold luggage.
- Announcements for intermediate stops are made over the tannoy; if your island is not the final destination, make sure you are awake and ready in time.
- Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
- 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'.
