Sifnos to Sikinos Route Map
Sifnos to Sikinos runs with Fast Ferries on the conventional Dionisios Solomos, taking anywhere from about two hours to four and a half depending on the day's calls. The ship heads south through the western Cyclades, and how long it takes comes down entirely to whether Milos and Folegandros are on that sailing's itinerary.
Sikinos is among the least visited islands in the Cyclades, small, undeveloped and with limited tourist infrastructure. The port, Alopronia, is a small harbour connected by a short road to the hilltop main village, Chora, with its Kastro quarter. People come for quiet, simple beaches and village life rather than for facilities or nightlife.
Sailings run a few times a week in season and become very sparse outside it, so book the return leg at the same time as the outbound. Current departures and fares are listed below. Sikinos is a stop on the Piraeus to Folegandros to Santorini line, which is the practical way to move on from the island.

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 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 Sikinos ferry
- A lightweight drybag or small tote is handy for beach days on islands – it doubles as your day bag on short crossings when you leave your main bag at the hotel.
- Fragile items should be wrapped and packed in the centre of your bag, surrounded by soft clothing – baggage handling at ports is not gentle.
- Sun loungers or open deck chairs are available on most large ferries – these are extremely popular in summer and fill quickly after departure.
- 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.
