Traveling from Milos to Folegandros

Folegandros island in Greece

If you've made your way from Athens to Milos and are looking for an island to hop to next, Folegandros is an excellent choice.

In a similar way to Milos, Folegandros could be considered top of tier 2 in the Cyclades islands – Not over touristy, but enough infrastructure to make people happy.

Folegandros is also a good halfway point between Santorini if you're following the Athens – Milos – Folegandros – Santorini route through the islands.

Milos Folegandros Ferry

During the height of summer, there is at least one ferry per day, and from time to time two ferries in a day from Milos to Folegandros. These ferries to Folegandros from Milos are operated by SeaJets, Blue Star Ferries and Zante Ferries.

The quicker boat from Milos going to Folegandros takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes and is operated by SeaJets. This is likely to be the most expensive option.

The slower services are offered by Blue Star Ferries and Zante Ferries, with the very slowest crossing taking 2 hours and 40 minutes.

These two services are more infrequent though, so it may be the luck of the draw if these cheaper Milos Folegandros ferry services operate on the days you want them to!

Try using Ferryhopper in order to book ferry tickets online, but keep in mind that ferry schedules are often not uploaded until a couple of months prior. This gives the ferry companies time to adapt their schedules for the anticipated tourist demand of the year.
