Ferry from Serifos (Livadi) to Sikinos

Serifos to Sikinos is a Fast Ferries service on the conventional Dionisios Solomos, taking roughly three to four hours depending on the day's calls. The ship runs south through the western Cyclades before reaching the smaller islands between Folegandros and Ios, so the timing varies with how many stops are worked in.

Sikinos is one of the quietest islands in the Cyclades, with minimal tourism infrastructure and a small permanent population. The port, Alopronia, is a modest harbour separate from the hilltop main village, Chora, which is a short road climb above. Travellers come for solitude, simple beaches and traditional village life rather than facilities.

Sailings run a few times a week in season and are thin outside it, so plan your departure as well as your arrival. Current departures and fares are shown below. Sikinos sits on the Piraeus to Folegandros to Santorini line, which is the practical way to move on.

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.

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. Compare prices at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Serifos to Sikinos ferry

• Off-peak routes to smaller Dodecanese or northern Aegean islands rarely require advance booking outside of summer – but always confirm seasonal schedules first.
• In the shoulder months of May, June, and September, you will often find seats and cabins available right up to departure day.
• Port areas in Greek islands are compact but busy on arrival; have your onward transport or accommodation address noted so you can move quickly.
• 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.
