Lavrio to Milos Route Map
Hellenic Seaways' Artemis runs from Lavrio to Milos in around sixteen and a half hours, calling at a string of Cycladic islands on the way. It is the slowest way to reach Milos from the Athens area by some margin, and correspondingly cheap, with fares starting around €20. Anyone in a hurry should look at the fast services from Piraeus instead.
Milos is a volcanic island in the southwest Cyclades, best known as the place where the Venus de Milo was found. The ferry arrives at Adamas, a working harbour town on a huge natural bay, which is where most of the accommodation, hire cars and boat trips are based. The island's draw is its geology: the white moonscape of Sarakiniko, the coloured cliffs at Firiplaka, the catacombs, and the fishing village of Klima with its painted syrmata boathouses.
This particular sailing runs about once a week, so it is a niche option rather than a mainstay. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below. From Adamas there are onward links to Kimolos, Sifnos, Serifos and the rest of the western Cyclades, plus a crossing to Crete in season.

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.
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 Milos ferry
- On quieter routes outside peak season, booking a day or two ahead is usually sufficient and gives you the flexibility to adjust plans.
- Set two alarms for your disembarkation – one 45 minutes before arrival and one 20 minutes before. Missing your island on an overnight ferry is a serious inconvenience.
- 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.
