Lavrio to Sifnos Route Map
Magic Sea Ferries runs the Hsc Cat I from Lavrio to Sifnos in a little over three hours. It is a high-speed vessel, so the crossing is quick but the seating is indoors and the ride firmer than on a conventional ferry in rough weather. Lavrio is the useful alternative to Piraeus here, particularly if you are coming from east Athens or the airport.
Sifnos is a relaxed island with a strong reputation for pottery and cooking. Ferries arrive at Kamares, a sheltered bay with a sandy beach right by the quay, while the capital, Apollonia, sits inland on a ridge and is a short bus ride away. The island is best known for its network of walking paths linking Apollonia, Artemonas and the walled village of Kastro, plus a run of good beaches on the south coast.
Sailings run close to daily in season, which makes a few days here easy to arrange. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Sifnos connects onward to Serifos, Kimolos, Milos and Paros, so it works well as one stop in a longer western Cyclades route.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Sifnos?
Yes, and it's worth having one. The ferry lands at Kamares, and the drive up the winding valley road to the capital, Apollonia, takes about ten minutes; most rental firms have desks at the port to match ferry arrivals. Sifnos's road network is compact and easy to navigate, so a car gets you around the hilltop villages and beaches without waiting on buses. Compare local suppliers 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.
