The Mykonos to Milos ferry route links two of the Cyclades’ most distinctive islands — cosmopolitan Mykonos in the north and volcanic Milos in the south-west. It’s a useful crossing for island-hoppers looking to move between the lively nightlife and beaches of Mykonos and the dramatic, geology-shaped landscapes that make Milos one of the most visually striking islands in Greece. Ferries run from March through to November, so you have a good window across both the shoulder season and peak summer.
During the season you can expect around 1 ferry per day, which makes advance booking worthwhile, particularly during July and August when demand across the Cyclades is at its highest.

Tips for the Mykonos–Milos 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.
- Once you arrive in Milos, the volcanic island's extraordinary coastline reveals sea caves, coloured rock formations, and beaches of every kind, from the famous white pumice shores of Sarakiniko to the fishing village of Klima with its boathouses built into the rock. Milos is also the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820.

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.
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.
