Kimolos and Serifos sit close enough together in the western Cyclades that the crossing between them barely counts as open sea -- more a short hop past a scatter of islets than a proper Aegean passage. It's a useful link for anyone stringing the smaller Cycladic islands together, since it lets you move on from Kimolos without backtracking through a larger hub first. Kimolos itself is one of the quieter islands in the group, so this route tends to carry a mix of locals, campervan travellers and people who've deliberately sought out somewhere less built-up.
Daily sailings run throughout the season, with a handful of departures spread across the day rather than clustered at one time, so there's usually a sensible option whether you're travelling in the morning or later on. Numbers ease off a little outside the height of summer, but the route keeps running -- check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates rather than assuming service stops at any particular point.

Tips for the Kimolos–Serifos Ferry
- Day-trip short hops are popular on summer Saturdays and Sundays; these sailings can be more crowded with Greek day-trippers than weekday departures.
- Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
- Seasickness wristbands (acupressure) help some travellers and have no side effects – worth trying if you prefer not to take tablets.
- 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.

Do you need a car on Serifos?
Not strictly. Chora sits on a hill about 4.5km above the port at Livadi, and a bus, roughly fifteen minutes for two euros, runs regularly between the two in summer. A car or scooter, hired from the small handful of offices in Livadi, makes sense for reaching the island's scattered beaches, but book ahead: the rental fleet is limited and August sells out fast. Compare prices at Discover Cars.
Do you need a car on Kimolos?
Not really. Kimolos is tiny, only about 900 people live there, and the port at Psathi is just 1km from the main village, Chorio. Most visitors walk or hire a scooter or quad locally for the short hops to beaches like Aliki (3km) or Prassa (6.5km). A car is only worth arranging if you want to bring one over from Milos on the vehicle ferry; compare options at Discover Cars.
