The Milos to Folegandros ferry is a short hop between two of the Cyclades’ most rewarding islands. Milos is famous for its dramatic volcanic coastline and colourful fishing village of Klima; Folegandros, by contrast, is quieter, wilder, and all the more compelling for it. This route runs from March through to October, making it a natural step on any island-hopping itinerary through the western Cyclades. Coming back, the Folegandros to Milos ferry runs the same route in the other direction.
During the season you can expect around 1 ferry per day, with services running daily. Frequency stays consistent across the summer months, though shoulder-season crossings in March and October tend to drop to a single daily departure — so check your schedule and book ahead if you have a connection to make.

Tips for the Milos–Folegandros Ferry
- Arrive at Adamas port at least 30 to 60 minutes before your ferry's scheduled departure, allowing time for check-in and boarding, since the port area becomes busy and congested during the peak summer months.
- Milos's main bus stop is only a few metres from the port at Adamas, with services roughly timed to ferry arrivals and departures; buy your ticket on board, and check the last departure if you have a late ferry.
- Adamas port itself has free Wi-Fi, public restrooms, an information booth and the port authority office, plus separate car and motorbike parking areas nearby at Adamas Square if you are arriving by road.
- Booking a summer return to Athens a week or two before departure gives you flexibility while still securing a ticket before the final-week rush.
- In Folegandros, the distinctive hilltop Kastro village and the rugged, sun-bleached landscape give the island a wild character unlike most of the Cyclades. A scenic walk from Ano Meria leads to the lighthouse on the southeastern tip, standing watch over the Aegean since 1919.

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.
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.
