The Milos to Folegandros ferry is a short hop between two of the Cyclades’ most rewarding islands. Milos is famous for its dramatic volcanic coastline and colourful fishing village of Klima; Folegandros, by contrast, is quieter, wilder, and all the more compelling for it. This route runs from March through to October, making it a natural step on any island-hopping itinerary through the western Cyclades.
During the season you can expect around 1 ferry per day, with services running daily. Frequency stays consistent across the summer months, though shoulder-season crossings in March and October tend to drop to a single daily departure — so check your schedule and book ahead if you have a connection to make.

Tips for the Milos–Folegandros Ferry
- If you are anxious about rough conditions, sit inside at or near the centre of the vessel and avoid looking out of windows at the waves.
- Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
- 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.
