Milos Serifos Ferry Route

The Greek islands of Milos and Serifos are two of the best connected islands in the Cyclades. During the summer, there are 4 or 5 daily Milos to Serifos ferry crossings, meaning that there's plenty of choice when it comes to deciding what time of day to travel.

With a few crossings a day going to the destination of Serifos, you really have your pick. If you can, go for the Artemis but note it doesn't sail every day. This is a conventional ferry, and has the cheapest tickets prices starting from around 7 Euros.

SeaJets offer a regular two ferries a day sailing between Milos and Serifos, These boats are more expensive though, with fares varying by boat and by season.

Take a look at Ferryscanner for routes and to see the ticket price on the day you want to sail.

Ferries to Serifos from Milos

As a rule, the faster boats are generally more expensive when it comes to ferry ticket prices. Ticket prices on the older, slower boats can start from under 10 Euros for a foot passenger.

Serifos Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips for visiting the Greek island of Serifos:
  • Ferry services depart from Adamas ferry port of Milos. Passengers should aim to be there at least a half hour before your departure time if they already have your ticket.

  • The ferry from Milos will dock at Livadi port in Serifos.

  • For places to stay in Serifos, I suggest using Booking. They have a great selection of where to stay in Serifos and areas to consider staying include Livadi, and Chora. If you are traveling to Serifos in the height of summer, I advise reserving hotels in Serifos a month or so in advance.

  • For some quality beach time, head to these beaches in Serifos: Agios Sostis, Karavi, Ganema, Psili Ammos, Livadakia, Ai Giannis, and Sikamia.

  • The best place to look at Greek ferries online is Ferryscanner. Although I suggest you book your Milos to Serifos ferry tickets in advance, especially during the busiest time of summer, you can also pop into a local travel agency when you're in Greece if you prefer to be flexible. As there are so many crossings per day from Milos to Serifos, it's unlikely ferry tickets will completely sell out on all boats, even if buying tickets a day or two before.



Alternative Routes

Traveling to Serifos also gives you other options. For example, you can't travel directly from Milos to Kea, but you can sometimes go via Serifos where you could swap ferries in order to carry on from Serifos to Kea.

All in all, visiting Serifos after Milos is a good choice when it comes to planning which islands to vacation at in Greece.

Note: Even though Milos has an airport, flying from between Milos and Serifos is not possible.
