Milos to Kimolos Route Map
Milos to Kimolos is one of the shortest hops in the Cyclades, covering the narrow channel between the two islands in around 25 minutes to an hour. Hellenic Seaways use the conventional Artemis and Seajets the Champion Jet 1, and there is also a small local car ferry working across the strait. Whichever boat you take, it is a brief and usually calm crossing with both coastlines in view throughout.
Kimolos is Milos's quieter sister island, small, volcanic and geared to slow village life rather than nightlife. The port is Psathi, a modest harbour on the east coast, with the main town of Chorio and its Venetian-era kastro a short walk or drive uphill. Travellers come for unspoilt beaches, walking routes and a genuinely low-key pace.
The link runs most days of the week and often more than once a day in season, which makes Kimolos a practical day trip from Milos as well as a stopover. Current departures and fares are in the timetable below. Fares on this crossing are among the cheapest in the Cyclades, starting at only a few euros.
Milos to Kimolos Ferry Fares
Lowest fare by vessel class
From €4.50 on a conventional ferry. A high-speed crossing and a conventional one are different products at different prices, so they are listed separately rather than reduced to a single figure.

| Conventional ferry | €4.50 | Hellenic Seaways | Artemis |
Official maximum fares on subsidised sailings
These are ceilings set by ministerial decision for public-service (PSO) sailings, quoted net of VAT and port dues. They are the most an operator may charge on a subsidised departure, not a fare on sale, and they do not apply to commercial sailings on the same route.

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.
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 Milos to Kimolos ferry
- Arrive at Adamas port at least 30 to 60 minutes before your ferry's scheduled departure, allowing time for check-in and boarding, since the port area becomes busy and congested during the peak summer months.
- Milos's main bus stop is only a few metres from the port at Adamas, with services roughly timed to ferry arrivals and departures; buy your ticket on board, and check the last departure if you have a late ferry.
- Adamas port itself has free Wi-Fi, public restrooms, an information booth and the port authority office, plus separate car and motorbike parking areas nearby at Adamas Square if you are arriving by road.
- A neck wallet or money belt under your clothing is the most secure way to carry your passport and cards in busy ferry terminals and ports.
- 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'.
