Best ferry route from Mykonos to Serifos – Greek Island Hopping

Despite their relatively close proximity, there's no direct ferry between Mykonos and Serifos islands. To travel between the two, you'd need to go via another island first.

Serifos is a great island to visit from Athens with incredible views and beaches

When you look at a map, the islands of Mykonos and Serifos look quite close together, so you'd think there would be a ferry between the two of them. 

This isn't the case though, and whilst on some years there may be a rare weekly ferry between these two islands, it's better to plan to travel between them via another island.

Typically, it's best to go via the islands of Syros, Paros, or even Naxos first. Which one you choose will largely depend on the next available connection going on to Serifos.

I suggest you take a look at the Ferryhopper website and play around with various routes to see which one looks best for you. If this year's timetables are not live yet, use last year's dates at openseas.gr in order to be aware of what you might expect.

I've also got some dedicated guides about getting from Mykonos to other islands that you might like to check out.

Serifos Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips for visiting Serifos island:

  • Most of the accommodation on the island is in or around the port, Livadi and Livadakia. For apartments in Serifos, I suggest using Booking. They have a great choice of accommodation in Serifos along with customer ratings. If you are traveling to Serifos in the peak months of summer, I advise reserving where to stay in Serifos a month or so in advance. You'll be pleased to know there are no high rise resorts or hotels in Serifos!

  • I find that the Ferryhopper website is the best place to book ferry tickets online. I suggest you book your Mykonos to Serifos ferry tickets in advance, especially during the height of summer. Play around with your dates, and be a little flexible as traveling from Mykonos to Serifos will involve a ferry connection.
