Tips for the Folegandros–Serifos Ferry
- If you have mobility issues, inform the ferry company in advance – assistance can be arranged for boarding and disembarkation at most major ports.
- Smoking is not permitted inside ferry terminals or on board vessels in enclosed areas; designated smoking areas are usually at the stern on open deck.
- Piraeus port is divided into numbered gates; your boarding pass will show a gate, but always confirm at the port information board as last-minute changes happen.
- At ports with multiple berths, check which pier your ferry docks at on arrival – it is not always the same berth every trip.
- In Serifos, the hilltop Chora perched dramatically above the port is one of the most striking capital towns in the Cyclades, with chapels, churches, and windmills scattered through its whitewashed lanes. The island’s beaches are never overcrowded, and the walking trails connecting them reward those who prefer to explore on foot.
