Lavrio to Sikinos Route Map
Hellenic Seaways' Artemis works south from Lavrio to Sikinos, a passage of around thirteen hours. That is a long stretch on a conventional ferry calling at several islands along the way, so it suits people happy to treat the journey as part of the trip. Bring food and something to read, and expect an arrival well down the day.
Sikinos sits between Folegandros and Ios and is one of the least developed of the Cyclades. The port, Alopronia, is a small harbour with a handful of places to stay and eat, and the main village, Chora, sits up on the ridge above, a short road climb away. There is very little in the way of organised tourism, which is precisely why people go.
Ferries on this route run about once a week, so timings need planning around. Current departures and fares are shown below. Sikinos is a regular stop on the Piraeus to Folegandros and Santorini line, so most travellers arrive as part of a wider western Cyclades hop rather than direct from Attica.

Hiring a car
Do you need to rent a car on Sikinos?
Probably not. Sikinos has just two settlements, the port at Alopronia and Chora 3.5km uphill, linked by an hourly bus. Only two small rental outfits operate on the island, with stock limited in August, so most visitors get by on foot and the bus. If you want the freedom, check 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 Sikinos ferry
- The period immediately after the 15th August peak sees a rapid fall in demand; last-minute seats become available again from around the 20th.
- Disembarkation on large ferries can take 10–20 minutes after docking; do not panic if it seems slow – vehicles disembark first.
- Check the marine weather forecast for your crossing the evening before departure; the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY) publishes forecasts for all sea areas.
- In Sikinos, the double hilltop settlement of Chora – comprising the fortress village of Kastro and the adjacent Chorio – offers a wonderfully authentic Cycladic experience, with a Folklore Museum and traditional tavernas serving local dishes with capers. The port of Alopronia below is a sandy bay with a handful of traditional waterfront tavernas and a calm, unhurried atmosphere.
