Sifnos to Syros Route Map
Sifnos to Syros is worked by Hellenic Seaways on the conventional Artemis, and at around five and a quarter hours it is a long crossing for the distance involved. The ship calls at several western Cyclades islands before turning north for Syros, so most of the time is spent stopping rather than sailing.
Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades and its main town, Ermoupoli, has an unusual feel for an island port. Grand neoclassical buildings, a town hall square and an opera house back the harbour, with the hilltop quarters of Ano Syros and Vrontado rising behind, each topped by a church. It is a working town year-round rather than a purely seasonal resort.
The link runs only a couple of times a week, so it needs planning rather than turning up. Current departures and fares are listed below. Syros is one of the best-connected ports in the Cyclades, with onward links to Mykonos, Tinos, Paros and the eastern islands.

Tips for the Sifnos to Syros ferry
- If you are comparing ferry versus flying between islands, factor in port transfer times at each end – ferries are often more time-efficient for short hops.
- The outdoor deck of a large overnight ferry at 02:00 under a clear Aegean sky is genuinely spectacular – set an alarm if you want to see it.
- Gangways on older vessels can be steep and narrow – wheeled suitcases are harder to manage than backpacks on these boarding ramps.
- Once you arrive in Syros, the elegant capital Ermoupoli – with its grand neoclassical town hall, marble-paved Miaouli Square, and the Apollo Theatre – reflects the island's prosperous 19th-century history as the commercial centre of the Aegean. The hilltop medieval settlement of Ano Syros, built by the Venetians around 1200 CE, offers a contrasting older layer of island history.
