We don’t just sell ferry tickets. We offer you personalized follow-up and assistance during and after your ticket purchase. Our specialized team is always ready to assist you with issues that might arise and help you get to your destinations safely and with peace of mind. We are here to handle anything that might come up regarding your ferry trip.
Standard/economy seats are the most popular and affordable option. In conventional ferries, these seats are situated on the deck or in internal lounges and are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. Therefore, we recommend boarding the ferry as soon as possible to get a comfortable one.
Another option is the air-type seats, located in separate lounges. They are numbered, more comfortable, and the most affordable option among the seats you can reserve. For luxury travel, there are also Business/VIP seats, which are situated in a separate lounge and are more expensive.
There are only numbered seats in high-speed ferries, so a standard ticket corresponds to an airline seat.
How to find your ferry in the port of Sifnos
In Sifnos, the main ferry port is located in Kamares, 5.5 kilometers from Apollonia, the island’s capital.
From there, your ferry will head to Adamantas Port, the main port of Milos, about 5 kilometers from the capital, Plaka.
In any case, make sure to be at the port at least 1 hour in advance since there is a lot of traffic. Especially if you are traveling during the high season, keep in mind that in both Sifnos and Milos, you will probably encounter traffic congestion around the port.
Luggage
Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry. Alternatively, you can take your luggage to the lounges or the deck (if available).
It is recommended to leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.
Traveling with a car
To take your car or motorbike to Milos, you need to purchase a vehicle ticket.
Drivers should be at the port 1 hour to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, entering the garage while the ferry is sailing is forbidden. Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.
