Sikinos to Sifnos Route Map
Sikinos to Sifnos takes somewhere between about two and a quarter and three hours on Fast Ferries' Dionisios Solomos, depending on the calls made along the way. It is a conventional ship with deck space and a vehicle deck, working the line that links the southern Cyclades with the western group. The route crosses open water, so it can feel lively when the meltemi is up.
Sifnos's ferry port is Kamares, on the west coast, set in a sheltered bay with a small sandy beach right by the quay. The island's capital, Apollonia, sits inland on a ridge and is a short bus ride up from the port. Sifnos has a strong reputation for food and for pottery, and the walking trails linking Apollonia, Artemonas and the clifftop monastery at Kastro are among the best marked in the Cyclades.
The crossing runs a few times a week in season rather than daily. Current dates, journey times and fares are shown in the table below, with tickets usually starting around €9.50. Sifnos is well connected onward to Piraeus, Milos and Serifos, so it slots easily into a western Cyclades run.

Hiring a car
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.
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 Sifnos ferry
- Pets travel in a dedicated area on most Greek ferries; book your pet's space when you book your own ticket as places are limited.
- If one leg of your journey is critical – for example a return to Athens before a flight – book that leg first and plan the rest of the trip around it.
- Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas at the stern; the rules are enforced more strictly on newer vessels.
- Reclining seats in the standard passenger class are comfortable enough for a 3–4 hour nap; bring a small travel pillow and a light blanket.
- Once you arrive in Sifnos, the island's reputation for exceptional food – rooted in a centuries-old pottery and cooking tradition – is upheld by the tavernas in the attractive villages of Apollonia, Artemonas, and the hilltop Kastro. The Church of the Seven Martyrs, perched on a rocky promontory above the sea, is one of the most photographed sights in the Cyclades.
