The Mykonos to Sifnos ferry is a satisfying crossing that takes you from one of the Cyclades’ most celebrated islands to one of its most quietly rewarding. Sifnos sits to the south-west of Mykonos, and the sea between them is classic Aegean — open, blue, and often breezy. The route runs from March through to November, giving you a long window to make the journey.
For most of the season you can count on a single daily sailing, so it pays to book ahead and confirm your departure time before you arrive at the port. One ferry a day means the sailing fills up quickly in July and August.

Tips for the Mykonos–Sifnos Ferry
- Prices on Greek ferry routes are generally fixed by the operator – unlike airlines, there is no dynamic pricing that rewards booking at odd hours.
- Aircraft-style reserved seats cost a little more than deck class and are worth it on longer crossings if cabins are beyond your budget.
- Once you arrive in Sifnos, the island’s reputation for exceptional food – rooted in a centuries-old pottery and cooking tradition – is upheld by the tavernas in the attractive villages of Apollonia, Artemonas, and the hilltop Kastro. The Church of the Seven Martyrs, perched on a rocky promontory above the sea, is one of the most photographed sights in the Cyclades.
