Sifnos to Kimolos Route Map
Sifnos to Kimolos is a short southbound hop, around 20 minutes on a high-speed boat and up to an hour on a conventional one. Fast Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Magic Sea Ferries and Seajets all cover it between them, with the Artemis, Champion Jet 1, Dionisios Solomos and Hsc Cat I. It is one of the quicker legs on the western Cyclades line.
Kimolos is a small volcanic island just off the northwest tip of Milos, quiet and geared to slow village life rather than nightlife. Boats dock at Psathi, a modest harbour on the east coast, with the main town of Chorio and its Venetian-era kastro a short walk or drive uphill. Travellers come for unspoilt beaches, walking and a distinctly unhurried pace.
With four operators involved the route runs at least daily through the season and often more than once a day. Current departures and fares are shown below. Kimolos also has a short local car ferry to Milos, so the two islands are easy to combine on one trip.

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.
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.

Tips for the Sifnos to Kimolos ferry
- At smaller island ports, taxis are scarce; book one in advance or confirm with your hotel that a transfer is arranged.
- Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
- Boarding order on most ferries is: vehicles first, then foot passengers – foot passengers are usually called to board 15–20 minutes before departure.
- Onboard food prices are higher than onshore – if you are on a budget, bring sandwiches, fruit, and water from a supermarket before you board.
- 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'.
