The Folegandros to Sikinos ferry is one of those short hops that links two of the quieter, more characterful islands in the western Cyclades. Both islands have managed to hold on to a genuinely unhurried pace of life, and travelling between them by sea is the natural way to make the crossing.
On average, you can expect around 1 ferry per day throughout the year — a reliable enough frequency for what is a relatively short island-to-island connection.

Tips for the Folegandros–Sikinos Ferry
- At smaller island ports, the quay surface can be cobblestone, wooden planking, or rough concrete – wheeled bags take a beating and can tip on uneven ground.
- Spring can bring occasional strong southerlies (sirocco) that kick up high seas; check the weather forecast a few days before a winter or spring crossing.
- Aircraft-style reserved seats cost a little more than deck class and are worth it on longer crossings if cabins are beyond your budget.
- The meltemi blows from the north-north-west; routes that run east–west are more exposed than those running north–south along a chain of islands.
- 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.
