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
- Piraeus port is divided into numbered gates; your boarding pass will show a gate, but always confirm at the port information board as last-minute changes happen.
- Pets must be kept in the designated pet area and may not enter passenger saloons; bring a lead and any food or water your pet needs for the crossing.
- Delays are more common in peak season and in rough weather – check the board or your ferry operator’s app rather than assuming your vessel is on time.
- The safest route from a weather perspective in summer is one that runs in the lee of large islands – the north coast of Crete, or between closely spaced island chains.
- 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.
