Tips for the Milos–Kythnos 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.
- When booking for the return leg of a day trip, remember that the last ferry of the day can fill up – book your return at the same time as your outward journey.
- In Kythnos, the unique double sandy beach of Kolona – a narrow strip of sand connecting the island to the islet of Agios Loukas – is one of the most unusual bathing spots in the Cyclades. The village of Loutra is known for its therapeutic thermal springs, used since ancient times, while the car-free Chora is a classic Cycladic hilltop settlement.

Some access roads are unpaved, where standard insurance is void, so compare 4x4 options at Discover Cars.
