The Piraeus to Sikinos ferry is your gateway to one of the quietest and least-visited islands in the Cyclades. Sikinos sits between Folegandros and Ios, yet it draws a fraction of their visitors — which is precisely its appeal. If you are looking for an authentic Greek island with whitewashed hilltop villages, traditional tavernas, and a harbour that feels genuinely unhurried, this route is worth the journey.
Throughout the year there is on average around 1 ferry per day on this route, though service varies by month — check the schedule table below before you book.

Tips for the Piraeus–Sikinos Ferry
- Port areas in Greek islands are compact but busy on arrival; have your onward transport or accommodation address noted so you can move quickly.
- Check the Poseidon sea state forecast (hcmr.gr) for detailed wave height and period forecasts across all Greek sea areas.
- Booking directly with the ferry operator’s own website often gives you the same price as third-party sites and makes changes or cancellations simpler.
- In Sikinos, the double hilltop settlement of Chora – comprising the fortress village of Kastro and the adjacent Chorio – offers a wonderfully authentic Cycladic experience, with a Folklore Museum and traditional tavernas serving local dishes with capers. The port of Alopronia below is a sandy bay with a handful of traditional waterfront tavernas and a calm, unhurried atmosphere.
