Visiting Sifnos after Milos

It has to be said, that there are fewer islands easier to reach from Milos than Sifnos. It's probably to do with how the ferry routes work between other islands, but as a result there are up to 5 Milos Sifnos ferries per day during the summer months.

Is Sifnos worth visiting though?

It sure is! It's become something of a gastronomical attraction over the last few years (the food is amazing!), and has a perfect balance of low-key nightlife, great beaches, and Cycladic beauty.

If you're looking for a Greek island to get away from the crowds after leaving Milos, Sifnos might make an excellent choice. It's not as quiet as somewhere like Sikinos, but worlds apart from the likes of Mykonos and Santorini.

How to get from Milos to Sifnos

Even though Milos has an airport, flying from between Milos and Sifnos is not possible. The Milos airport only connects with Athens, and Sifnos doesn't have an airport at all.

This means that you'll be island hopping by ferry between Milos and Sifnos, but it's a really short journey so it won't eat into much of your vacation time.

Note that ferries to Sifnos from Milos usually leave from the main Adamas port rather than Pollonia, but double check after you've booked your tickets just in case!

Ferries to Sifnos from Milos

During the peak months of summer, you might expect ferries to depart up to 5 times per day from Milos to Sifnos. Seajets is a regular operator, and Zante Ferries, Blue Star Ferries and Aegean Speedlines have also sailed to Sifnos from Milos in recent seasons.

Sifnos Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips for visiting Sifnos island:
  • For hotels in Sifnos, I recommend using Booking. The best areas to stay in Sifnos depending on how long you will be on the island are Kamares, Apollonia, Kastro, and Platys Gialos. If you are traveling to Sifnos in the busiest months of summer, I advise reserving places to stay in Sifnos a month or so in advance.

  • The easiest way to get hold of ferry tickets in Greece is by using Ferryscanner. Although I think it's better to book your Milos to Sifnos ferry tickets in advance, especially during the height of the tourist season, you can also use travel agencies and booking agents once in the country. There is normally a booking agent in or near each port on a Greek island as well as in the main towns.



What to see in Sifnos Greece

There's more to Sifnos than meets the eye, and for a relatively small island you'll need more time than you think to see it all.

If you're content with spending just a day or two on the island, you'll probably just end up going to the beaches, exploring a village or two, and enjoy incredible food at night.
