The Piraeus to Ios ferry is one of the more rewarding crossings in the Cyclades, delivering you to an island that balances legendary nightlife with genuinely beautiful beaches and a pretty whitewashed Chora. Whether you are chasing the summer buzz or travelling in the quieter shoulder months, there is a sailing to suit your schedule.
Throughout the year there are 3 ferries per day on average. Come summer (June–August), that climbs to 4 departures daily, giving you real flexibility for planning your arrival. In winter, expect around 1 sailing per day.
