Mykonos to Folegandros Ferry

Mykonos to Folegandros Ferry

The Mykonos to Folegandros ferry route takes you from one of the Cyclades’ most-visited islands to one of its most unspoilt. Mykonos needs little introduction — its whitewashed lanes and buzzing harbour are known the world over. Folegandros is rather different: quieter, wilder, and far less crowded. The ferry connection between the two runs from March to October, making it a practical option for anyone wanting to swap the glamour of Mykonos for something altogether more remote.

Tips for the Mykonos–Folegandros Ferry

• Most scheduled ferries – including those to Piraeus, Rafina, Santorini and Naxos – dock at the New Port at Tourlos, roughly 3km north of town, not the Old Port in Mykonos Town itself; check your ticket before heading out.
• During July and August arrive at the New Port at least an hour before departure – ferries here fill quickly, queues for ticket collection build fast, and boarding gates close without much warning.
• A sea bus links the New Port at Tourlos with the Old Port near town in about eight minutes, running regularly through the day; it carries luggage, so it's a reliable option if a taxi isn't available.
• Taxis are scarce on Mykonos and demand regularly outstrips supply at the port, especially in high season, so budget extra time or use the public bus or sea bus into town instead of relying on finding one.
• 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.

Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?

Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative.
