The Folegandros to Mykonos ferry is one of those journeys that takes you from one of the Cyclades’ quieter hideaways to its most famous party island in a single sailing. Folegandros, with its clifftop Chora and unhurried pace, feels a world apart from glittering Mykonos — yet the ferry connects them neatly within the same island group. The route runs from March to October, so you have a generous window to make it work as part of a wider island-hopping itinerary.

Tips for the Folegandros–Mykonos 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.
- Over-the-counter seasickness tablets containing dimenhydrinate are widely available at Greek pharmacies and are effective for most people.
- In Mykonos, the iconic windmills overlooking Little Venice and the maze of whitewashed lanes in Chora are as recognisable as any image in the Greek islands. The island is equally famous for its beach clubs and vibrant nightlife, with Paradise Beach among the liveliest spots on the Aegean.

Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?
Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative. Compare rental 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.
