Ferry from Sikinos to Milos (Adamas)

Fast Ferries and Hellenic Seaways both cover Sikinos to Milos, using the Dionisios Solomos and the Artemis. The crossing takes roughly three hours direct and up to three and a half when the ship calls at Folegandros or Kimolos first. These are conventional ferries with deck space and vehicle decks, so it is a relaxed way to move west across the Cyclades.

Milos is the volcanic island where the Venus de Milo was found, and its geology is the main draw. Ferries dock at Adamas, a working harbour town wrapped around a huge natural bay, with buses and hire cars available on the quay. From there you can reach the white moonscape at Sarakiniko, the beaches at Firiplaka and Tsigrado, the catacombs, and the fishing village of Klima with its coloured syrmata boathouses.

Sailings run only a couple of times a week, so dates need checking against the timetable below, where fares and journey times are also shown; tickets usually start around €11.50. Milos is well connected onward, with frequent links to Piraeus, Sifnos, Serifos and the short hop over to Kimolos.

Hiring a car

Do you need a car in Milos?

Yes, a car is genuinely useful on Milos. The ferry docks at Adamas, the island's main town and bus hub, so pickup is easy and buses cover Plaka and Pollonia, but the schedule is thin and most of the striking beaches, Sarakiniko, Firiplaka, Tsigrado, sit well outside it. Some access roads are unpaved, where standard insurance is void, so compare 4x4 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Sikinos to Milos ferry

• Some island routes operate a reduced winter schedule from late October to late March – always confirm the schedule before building a winter itinerary.
• Pack a light layer (cardigan, fleece, or windbreaker) even in summer; the wind and spray on open deck can feel cold on a long crossing.
• Most ferries have a small play area or supervised children's zone on larger vessels; ask crew on boarding if you are travelling with very young children.
• Once you arrive in Milos, the volcanic island's extraordinary coastline reveals sea caves, coloured rock formations, and beaches of every kind, from the famous white pumice shores of Sarakiniko to the fishing village of Klima with its boathouses built into the rock. Milos is also the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820.
