Kimolos to Milos Route Map
Kimolos to Milos is one of the shortest scheduled crossings in the Cyclades, taking from about twenty-five minutes to an hour depending on the ship and the ports used. Hellenic Seaways runs it with the conventional Artemis and Seajets with the high-speed Champion Jet 1. It is a genuine local link rather than a tourist service, and it carries vehicles as well as foot passengers.
Milos is the volcanic island where the Venus de Milo was found, and the main port is Adamas, a working harbour town on a large natural bay. Buses, taxis and hire cars are all available at the quay. The island's draw is its geology and coastline: the white moonscape at Sarakiniko, the beaches at Firiplaka and Tsigrado, the catacombs, and the syrmata boathouses at Klima.
Sailings run most days in season, often more than once, which makes this an easy pairing of the two islands. The current timetable and fares are shown in the table below, with tickets frequently starting around four euros. From Adamas you have regular onward ferries to Piraeus, Sifnos, Serifos and Santorini.
Kimolos to Milos Ferry Fares
Lowest fare by vessel class
From €4.50 on a conventional ferry. A high-speed crossing and a conventional one are different products at different prices, so they are listed separately rather than reduced to a single figure.

Official maximum fares on subsidised sailings
These are ceilings set by ministerial decision for public-service (PSO) sailings, quoted net of VAT and port dues. They are the most an operator may charge on a subsidised departure, not a fare on sale, and they do not apply to commercial sailings on the same route.

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 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.

Tips for the Kimolos to Milos ferry
- In July, the meltemi typically produces its strongest conditions in the open Cyclades, particularly between Mykonos, Paros, and Ios; plan shorter hops in this area.
- If you are travelling in winter, a compact rain jacket and a warm mid-layer are essential – the on-deck temperature can drop significantly on overnight crossings.
- Smoking is not permitted inside ferry terminals or on board vessels in enclosed areas; designated smoking areas are usually at the stern on open deck.
- Photography from the deck is excellent – the golden hour light on island whitewashed buildings as you arrive is hard to match.
- 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.
