Tips for the Ios–Koufonisi Ferry
- The port at Ormos sits about 2km below Chora – roughly a five-minute drive, a 20-minute walk, or a short bus ride from the stop just along the road from the ferry quay.
- Arrive at Ormos port at least an hour before departure in summer – traffic builds up around the port and you'll want time to secure a good deck or lounge seat before boarding.
- Ormos port has its own supermarkets, cafes, ATMs and car or motorbike hire outlets, so you can wait comfortably, withdraw cash or pick up rental transport without leaving the harbour area.
- Pack a light layer (cardigan, fleece, or windbreaker) even in summer; the wind and spray on open deck can feel cold on a long crossing.
- Once you arrive in Koufonisia, the turquoise waters and sandy coves of these Small Cyclades islands rank among the most scenic in all of Greece. The islands' compact size makes them easy to explore on foot, and boat trips to the surrounding islets offer some exceptional swimming.
