Kimolos by ferry
Kimolos is a small island right next to Milos, quiet and authentic, with a fortified medieval Kastro in the Chora, white volcanic cliffs and clear water at beaches such as Prassa and Bonatsa.
Ferries reach Kimolos from Piraeus on Fast Ferries (about 6 hours, from €43.50), from Milos (about 1 hour on Blue Star, €4.50, or by local ferry from Pollonia), and from Sifnos.
Stay in the Chora
The main village, with the Kastro, tavernas and rooms.
Stay in Psathi
The tiny port, a 10-minute walk below the Chora.
Ferry routes & prices
The easiest way is via Milos: a small local car ferry crosses from Pollonia several times a day, and some Blue Star and Fast Ferries sailings call at Kimolos.

Arriving & getting around
Where does the boat arrive?
Ferries arrive at Psathi, a small harbour 10 minutes on foot below the Chora.
Leaving from Piraeus
Gates in Piraeus
Blue Star shows your gate when you check in (online or at the port). Seajets usually leaves from gate E9 or E7 and sends you an SMS with the gate. Some sailings use E1 or E2, at the other end of the port, so always check and allow extra time.
When to be at the port
At least an hour before departure with a vehicle, and 30–45 minutes on foot. The metro and the suburban train stop right by the Cyclades gates.
Flying into Athens?
Leave at least 4 hours between your flight’s landing and the ferry’s departure. Choosing an Athens port.
On the island
From the port
Walk up to the Chora or take a taxi; rooms are small and few, so book ahead in August.
Getting around
A small bus and boat trips in summer; many visitors walk or bring a car from Milos.
From Milos
The local ferry from Pollonia carries cars and runs several times a day.
Flying
Fly to Milos and cross by ferry.
Campers, vans & vehicles
Taking a camper, motorhome, van or your boat on a trailer to Kimolos? Big vehicles need a little more planning on Greek ferries. Here is what to know, for holidays and for business.
1
Measure and declare
Give the exact length and height of your camper, van or car with caravan, including bike racks, roof boxes and tow bars. The ferry fare and deck space depend on them, and a vehicle bigger than booked may be refused or charged extra at the port.
2
Gas and fuel
Vehicles running on LPG or other gas, and hybrid or electric vehicles, must be declared when you book. Gas tanks may be filled to no more than 50% and EV batteries charged to no more than 40%. Make sure gas bottles are turned off before boarding.
3
At the port
Be at the port at least 1 hour before departure. Large vehicles are loaded in the order set by the port authority, so arriving early helps. Book well ahead in July and August: garage space for big vehicles runs out first.
4
On board
Only the driver stays with the vehicle to drive it on and off; everyone else boards on foot. Nobody may stay in the vehicle during the crossing, so take what you need for the trip with you.
5
Boat on a trailer
Taking your own boat? We also book ferry tickets for a car towing a boat trailer. Give the total length of car, trailer and boat together, and the height of the boat on the trailer, including any mast, frame or outboard engine.
On Kimolos: wild camping is not allowed in Greece. You can park a camper wherever car parking is allowed, but setting up camp outside a campsite can be fined. Roads are few and some are unpaved.
1
Vans and goods
Vans carrying goods, tools or equipment for work may be booked as commercial vehicles, with a different fare and different paperwork from a private car. Tell us what the vehicle carries and its weight.
2
Teams and fleets
Several vehicles and drivers on the same sailing, or regular crossings for a project? We book them together so your team travels on the same ship.
3
Exact dimensions
Length, height and weight decide the category. Include racks, ladders and trailers, and tell us if anything is loaded on the roof.
4
Timing
Commercial vehicles may need to be at the port earlier than cars. We confirm the exact check-in time and gate for your sailing.
5
Company invoice
Travelling for work? We issue an invoice in your company’s name. Send us the company name, address and VAT number with your quote request.
