Sifnos and Serifos sit side by side in the western Cyclades, and the short hop between them is one of the easiest island connections in Greece to build into a longer trip. Ferries leave from Kamares on Sifnos and put in at Livadi on Serifos, both working harbours a short walk from the main village, so there's no need to arrange onward transport before you've even had a coffee. The crossing runs in open water between the two islands but stays well within the shelter of the Cyclades group, and on the faster catamarans it's over almost as soon as it begins.
Because Sifnos and Serifos are only a short crossing apart, this route sees a steady run of departures across the day rather than one or two fixed sailings, which makes it easy to plan around whatever else you've got booked that day. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you travel, since operators file each stretch of the season in stages and add capacity as demand builds.
Expect a busier timetable at the height of summer, thinning out a little either side of the peak weeks. Whichever end of the season you're travelling, there's enough choice through the day that you're rarely locked into a single departure time.
