Kimolos and Serifos sit close enough together in the western Cyclades that the crossing between them barely counts as open sea -- more a short hop past a scatter of islets than a proper Aegean passage. It's a useful link for anyone stringing the smaller Cycladic islands together, since it lets you move on from Kimolos without backtracking through a larger hub first. Kimolos itself is one of the quieter islands in the group, so this route tends to carry a mix of locals, campervan travellers and people who've deliberately sought out somewhere less built-up.
Daily sailings run throughout the season, with a handful of departures spread across the day rather than clustered at one time, so there's usually a sensible option whether you're travelling in the morning or later on. Numbers ease off a little outside the height of summer, but the route keeps running -- check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates rather than assuming service stops at any particular point.
