Sikinos to Serifos Route Map
Fast Ferries runs Sikinos to Serifos on the Dionisios Solomos, a conventional ship working the long western Cyclades line. The passage takes between about three and four hours depending on how many islands it calls at on the way. It is a slow, comfortable crossing with deck space and vehicles carried.
Serifos sits in the western Aegean and is noticeably less developed than Paros or Mykonos. The port is Livadi, tucked into a sheltered bay, with the island's Chora climbing the steep hill above in tiers. Travellers come for uncrowded beaches, good walking over arid, rocky country, and the old iron-mining sites scattered around the island.
Departures are limited, a handful over a fortnight rather than daily, so the timetable below is worth reading before anything is booked. Fares and journey times are listed there, with tickets usually starting around twelve euros. Serifos has more frequent links to Piraeus, Sifnos and Milos, so it is easier to leave than to reach from this direction.

Hiring a car
Do you need a car on Serifos?
Not strictly. Chora sits on a hill about 4.5km above the port at Livadi, and a bus, roughly fifteen minutes for two euros, runs regularly between the two in summer. A car or scooter, hired from the small handful of offices in Livadi, makes sense for reaching the island's scattered beaches, but book ahead: the rental fleet is limited and August sells out fast. Compare prices 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 Serifos ferry
- The rear vehicle ramp opens while the vessel is still manoeuvring; do not go down to the vehicle deck until the ferry is fully docked and the ramp is secure.
- Children's fares typically apply up to a certain age; above that they are charged the adult rate – enter accurate dates of birth when booking.
- 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.
- In Serifos, the hilltop Chora perched dramatically above the port is one of the most striking capital towns in the Cyclades, with chapels, churches, and windmills scattered through its whitewashed lanes. The island's beaches are never overcrowded, and the walking trails connecting them reward those who prefer to explore on foot.
