Serifos to Kimolos Route Map
Serifos to Kimolos is served by four operators between them, Fast Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Magic Sea Ferries and Seajets, using the Artemis, Champion Jet 1, Dionisios Solomos and Hsc Cat I. Journey times run from under an hour on the fast boats to about two hours on the conventional ships with a stop at Sifnos or Milos. It is a straightforward southbound run down the western Cyclades chain.
Kimolos is a small volcanic island just off the northwest coast of Milos, quiet and geared to slow village life. Boats dock at Psathi, a modest harbour on the east coast, with the main town of Chorio and its Venetian-era kastro a short way uphill. The draw is unspoilt beaches, walking, and a pace noticeably slower than the bigger islands.
Between the four operators the route runs at least daily through the season and often more than once a day. Current departures and fares are listed in the timetable below. Kimolos also has its own short local ferry to Milos, which is useful if you want to combine the two islands.

Hiring a car
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.
Do you need a car on Serifos?
Not strictly. Chora sits on a hill about 4.5km above the port at Livadi, and a bus, roughly fifteen minutes for two euros, runs regularly between the two in summer. A car or scooter, hired from the small handful of offices in Livadi, makes sense for reaching the island's scattered beaches, but book ahead: the rental fleet is limited and August sells out fast.

Tips for the Serifos to Kimolos ferry
- A rough sea crossing in a large conventional ferry is inconvenient but very rarely dangerous; Greek ferry operators have strict safety protocols and experienced crews.
- Island-hopping itineraries that move in one direction (e.g. Athens to Rhodes via the Dodecanese) rather than back-and-forth are generally cheaper and less stressful.
- If your ferry is cancelled, the operator is required to offer a refund or alternative sailing; head to the operator's quayside office immediately.
- The ship's tannoy system uses a chime before announcements; listen for the three-tone signal that precedes important information about arrivals or delays.
- In Kimolos, the main settlement of Horio at the foot of Mt Ksaplovouni enchants with its Cycladic simplicity and a castle at its heart. The island's volcanic origins give the landscape a distinctive character, with grey-white rocks rising from crystal-clear waters that the Venetians once called 'silvery'.
