The Santorini to Folegandros ferry is a rewarding connection between two very different sides of the Cyclades. Santorini needs little introduction — its caldera views and whitewashed clifftops draw visitors from across the world. Folegandros is its quieter counterpart: smaller, less visited, and all the better for it. The ferry links them year-round, making it easy to trade the crowds for something more peaceful.
On average, you can expect around 2 ferries per day on this route throughout the year, with frequency picking up during the busier spring and summer months.

Tips for the Santorini–Folegandros Ferry
- Parking at major ports is available but fills quickly in summer – if leaving your car, book a parking spot in advance or arrive very early.
- Boarding order on most ferries is: vehicles first, then foot passengers – foot passengers are usually called to board 15–20 minutes before departure.
- At ports with multiple berths, check which pier your ferry docks at on arrival – it is not always the same berth every trip.
- 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.
