Tips for the Folegandros–Milos Ferry
- Take the local bus from Karavostasis to Chora, about 4km away – services are timed to meet ferry arrivals and departures, or use a taxi for the short uphill run to the main village.
- Arrive at the port in Karavostasis at least 30 to 60 minutes before your ferry is due to sail, since boarding and any last-minute schedule changes need time to sort out.
- Build a buffer day into your Folegandros trip: the island's ferry routes are among the first suspended when gale-force meltemi winds hit the exposed Aegean crossings in summer.
- Overhead luggage racks on Greek ferries fill quickly; board early and stow your main bag first, then explore the vessel.
- Once you arrive in Milos, the volcanic island's extraordinary coastline reveals sea caves, coloured rock formations, and beaches of every kind, from the famous white pumice shores of Sarakiniko to the fishing village of Klima with its boathouses built into the rock. Milos is also the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820.

Do you need a car in Milos?
Yes, a car is genuinely useful on Milos. The ferry docks at Adamas, the island's main town and bus hub, so pickup is easy and buses cover Plaka and Pollonia, but the schedule is thin and most of the striking beaches, Sarakiniko, Firiplaka, Tsigrado, sit well outside it. Some access roads are unpaved, where standard insurance is void, so compare 4x4 options at Discover Cars.
Do you need a car on Folegandros?
Not essential. Folegandros is small, and the bus that meets every ferry runs the 3.5km from the port at Karavostasis up to Chora in about ten minutes for a couple of euros. A car or scooter becomes useful once you want to reach the beaches below Ano Meria or Agali, which the bus does not serve directly. Rental desks operate in Chora, Karavostasis and Ano Meria; compare prices at Discover Cars.
