Sikinos to Syros Route Map
The Sikinos to Syros crossing is a long one, around six hours on Hellenic Seaways' Artemis. The ship calls at several islands on its way north through the Cyclades, which is what accounts for the time. It is a conventional ferry with deck space, so the passage is comfortable enough if you are not in a rush.
Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades, and its main town Ermoupoli is unlike anywhere else in the group. Instead of whitewashed cubes there is grand neoclassical architecture, a working town with an opera house and museums, and real life going on year-round. The harbour is overlooked by two hilltop quarters, Catholic Ano Syros and Orthodox Vrontado, each topped by its church.
Departures are infrequent, about once a week, so the current timetable below is the thing to check first. Fares and journey times are listed there too, with tickets usually starting around eleven euros. Syros is a key ferry hub with extensive onward links across the Cyclades, which makes the long crossing more useful than it first looks.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Syros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right in Ermoupoli, a short walk from where the ferry docks. Syros Town itself is easily walkable, but a car earns its keep for reaching Kini, Galissas and Poseidonia beaches, each 8-10km away on the other side of the island. Compare prices across 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 Syros ferry
- Dawn arrivals are one of the great pleasures of overnight ferry travel; set an alarm to be on deck as the vessel enters the harbour.
- Ferry departure times in Greece are local time – confirm whether Greece is on summer time (EEST, UTC+3) or winter time (EET, UTC+2) to avoid confusion.
- Boarding order on most ferries is: vehicles first, then foot passengers – foot passengers are usually called to board 15–20 minutes before departure.
- Duty-free shopping is not available on domestic Greek ferry routes; what you see in the onboard shop is ordinary retail pricing.
- 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.
