Serifos to Folegandros Route Map
Serifos to Folegandros runs with Fast Ferries on the conventional Dionisios Solomos, taking around two and a half to four hours depending on the intermediate calls. The ship heads south through the western Cyclades, usually via Sifnos and Milos, so the variation in duration comes down to the day's routing rather than the vessel.
Folegandros is a small, rugged island between Milos and Santorini with a quieter feel than either. The port is Karavostasis, a compact harbour on the east coast, with a bus or taxi ride up to the clifftop Chora whose main square sits at the edge of a sheer drop to the sea. Beyond the town there are hiking trails and a scattering of small, hard-to-reach beaches.
The route operates a few times a week rather than daily, and the winter service is minimal. Current sailings, durations and fares are shown below. Folegandros connects on easily to Santorini and Milos on the same line if you are building an island-hopping run.

Hiring a car
Do you need a car on Folegandros?
Not essential. Folegandros is small, and the bus that meets every ferry runs the 3.5km from the port at Karavostasis up to Chora in about ten minutes for a couple of euros. A car or scooter becomes useful once you want to reach the beaches below Ano Meria or Agali, which the bus does not serve directly. Rental desks operate in Chora, Karavostasis and Ano Meria; compare prices at Discover Cars.
Do you need a car on Serifos?
Not strictly. Chora sits on a hill about 4.5km above the port at Livadi, and a bus, roughly fifteen minutes for two euros, runs regularly between the two in summer. A car or scooter, hired from the small handful of offices in Livadi, makes sense for reaching the island's scattered beaches, but book ahead: the rental fleet is limited and August sells out fast.

Tips for the Serifos to Folegandros ferry
- Seasickness wristbands (acupressure) help some travellers and have no side effects – worth trying if you prefer not to take tablets.
- Aircraft-style reserved seats cost a little more than deck class and are worth it on longer crossings if cabins are beyond your budget.
- In Folegandros, the distinctive hilltop Kastro village and the rugged, sun-bleached landscape give the island a wild character unlike most of the Cyclades. A scenic walk from Ano Meria leads to the lighthouse on the southeastern tip, standing watch over the Aegean since 1919.
