Kimolos to Sifnos Route Map
Kimolos and Sifnos sit close together in the western Cyclades, and the crossing between them is one of the shorter hops you'll find in this part of the Aegean. Kimolos itself stays quiet even in high summer -- a small volcanic island best known for its whitewashed hilltop village and the deserted fishing settlement at Mandrakia -- so its port at Psathi is little more than a jetty, a couple of cafes and a strip of open water rather than a sheltered harbour. Sifnos, by contrast, arrives at Kamares with more infrastructure: ticket booths, tavernas along the waterfront and a road running straight up into the hills towards Apollonia. Because the route sits between two islands rather than facing open sea, the crossing is reasonably sheltered, though a stiff meltemi in July and August can still put a chop on the water, so it's worth checking conditions if you're prone to seasickness.
Sailings build up through the warmer months, with several crossings a day at the height of summer and a somewhat lighter timetable either side of the peak. Smaller, faster catamarans tend to keep to the shorter journey times, while the bigger conventional ferries take longer but are steadier in any swell. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed departures, since operators file new dates in stages rather than publishing a full year at once.

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 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 Sifnos 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.
- Aircraft-style reserved seats cost a little more than deck class and are worth it on longer crossings if cabins are beyond your budget.
- 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.
