Milos and Serifos sit close together in the western Cyclades, and the short hop between them is one of the more convenient island-hopping links in this part of the Aegean. Ferries dock at Adamantas on Milos and at Livadi on Serifos, both working harbours a short walk or taxi ride from the main towns, so there's no long transfer to plan around at either end. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates before you travel.
Two operators cover the route with different types of vessel, which is why the journey time varies so widely -- a high-speed catamaran gets you across in a little over an hour, while a conventional ferry calling at other ports along the way takes closer to three. Several crossings a day at the height of summer make it easy to build Milos and Serifos into the same trip without losing a full day to transport, and the crossing itself is a short, sheltered run rather than anything exposed.

Tips for the Milos–Serifos 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.
- Senior discounts are offered by several operators for passengers over 65; the discount is applied automatically if you select the correct age category.
- 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 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.
