Sifnos to Folegandros Route Map
Sifnos to Folegandros is a Fast Ferries service on the conventional Dionisios Solomos, taking between roughly an hour and three quarters and three and a half hours. The difference comes down to whether the sailing calls at Milos and Kimolos on the way south, so it is worth checking the itinerary as well as the departure time.
Folegandros is a small, rugged island between Milos and Santorini with a low-key feel compared with its better-known neighbours. Ferries dock at 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 walking trails and a scattering of small, sheltered beaches.
The route runs a few times a week rather than daily, with a minimal winter service. Current sailings and fares are in the table below. Folegandros continues on the same line to Sikinos, Ios and Santorini, which makes it easy to work into a southbound 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.
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.

Tips for the Sifnos to Folegandros ferry
- On high-frequency short routes, check the timetable for the last sailing of the day – it can be surprisingly early on some less-visited islands.
- Seasickness is more common on high-speed catamarans than on conventional ferries – if you are susceptible, take medication 30–60 minutes before boarding.
- Quick-dry travel towels pack much smaller than conventional towels and are worth the investment if you are covering multiple islands.
- 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.
