Sikinos to Kimolos Route Map
Sikinos to Kimolos takes a little over two hours on the conventional ferries working the western Cyclades line, either Fast Ferries' Dionisios Solomos or Hellenic Seaways' Artemis. The route heads west across open water, usually calling at Folegandros and sometimes Milos on the way. Both ships carry vehicles and have proper deck space.
Kimolos is a small volcanic island just northwest of Milos, quiet and low-key, known for village life rather than nightlife. The port is Psathi, a small harbour on the east coast, a short walk or drive from the main town, Chorio, which has a Venetian-era kastro at its heart. Travellers come for unspoilt beaches, walking, and a slower pace than the busier Cyclades offer.
The crossing runs only a couple of times a week and is seasonal, so check the timetable below before building an itinerary around it. Journey times and fares are shown there, with tickets usually starting around eight euros. Kimolos is also linked to Milos by a very short and much more frequent local crossing, which is the usual way in if this sailing does not fit.

Hiring a car
Do you need a car on Kimolos?
Not really. Kimolos is tiny, only about 900 people live there, and the port at Psathi is just 1km from the main village, Chorio. Most visitors walk or hire a scooter or quad locally for the short hops to beaches like Aliki (3km) or Prassa (6.5km). A car is only worth arranging if you want to bring one over from Milos on the vehicle ferry; compare options at Discover Cars.
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.

Tips for the Sikinos to Kimolos ferry
- Port areas in Greek islands are compact but busy on arrival; have your onward transport or accommodation address noted so you can move quickly.
- On catamaran services, lower deck seats tend to be calmer in rough seas but can feel enclosed; upper deck seats offer more natural light and better views.
- In Kimolos, the main settlement of Horio at the foot of Mt Ksaplovouni enchants with its Cycladic simplicity and a castle at its heart. The island's volcanic origins give the landscape a distinctive character, with grey-white rocks rising from crystal-clear waters that the Venetians once called 'silvery'.
