Koufonisi and Milos sit at opposite ends of the Cyclades, and the ferry between them covers a fair stretch of open Aegean rather than hopping between neighbours. There's no land in view for much of the crossing, so it's worth checking the forecast if you're prone to seasickness -- this isn't a sheltered inter-island hop. Board at Koufonisi's small harbour, where the village is close enough to walk to with a bag, and disembark at Milos's port at Adamantas, a few kilometres from the main town of Plaka.
Only one operator runs this link, and services are sparse rather than frequent -- this is a route to plan around rather than turn up and go. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates and departure times before you commit to onward plans on either island.

Tips for the Koufonisi–Milos Ferry
- Koufonisi's port sits in Chora, the island's only village, so most accommodation is a short walk from the quay; even so, arrive at least 30 minutes before your ferry to Paros is due to depart.
- Book your ferry to Paros online in advance, especially in July and August, since sailings on this small network fill quickly; Chora's travel agency also sells tickets locally, but do not rely on it as your only option.
- From June to September, meltemi winds can bring rough seas and cause Small Cyclades ferries to cancel sailings at short notice; check your ferry company's status before setting out for the port.
- On multi-day island-hopping trips, the ferry becomes a mobile base – use the time on board to research your next stop, review maps, and plan the next day.
- 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.
