Tips for the Piraeus–Milos Ferry
- Luggage trolleys are available at Piraeus and a few larger island ports; at smaller ports you carry your own bags from the car park to the gangway.
- Moving from the Cyclades to the Dodecanese typically requires either returning to Piraeus or using a Crete–Rhodes connection; direct links are rare.
- On routes where two or more operators compete, compare prices and journey times – the price difference for vehicles can be particularly significant.
- Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades and receives the most ferry calls; it is an excellent base if you want flexibility for onward connections.
- 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.
