About the Santorini – Milos crossing
Santorini and Milos are separated by about 52 nautical miles of the Aegean Sea. This Cycladic island route is served by two operators, Fast Ferries and SeaJets. The fastest crossing takes 1 hour 55 minutes, while the slowest completes the distance in 5 hours. Fares start from €16, though this price fluctuates with seasonality and vehicle transport.
Timetable and Operators
Two sailings are scheduled every day of the week. The first ferry departs at 14:25 and the last leaves at 19:30. Fast Ferries operates the Dionisios Solomos on this route, while SeaJets uses the Olympic Champion Jet. These vessels provide a key link within the Cyclades island group for both residents and visitors.
Regional Connections
The service forms part of a broader network of domestic Greek ferry services. From Santorini, other routes proceed to Heraklion, Rhodes, and Syros. Milos also has connections to Heraklion and provides a significant link to the mainland port of Piraeus, the main seaport for Athens.
Your destination
About Milos
Nearly every ferry to Milos ties up at one place: Adamas (Adamantas), the island's harbour on its huge natural bay. From Athens you sail from Piraeus — a SeaJets high-speed catamaran does it in roughly 2h35m, while slower conventional ferries take about 5–7 hours but shrug off the wind. Milos also links into the Western Cyclades chain (Sifnos, Serifos, Paros, Naxos), Santorini, and Crete. It is a volcanic island of coloured cliffs, the moonscape of Sarakiniko, and the boat-only cove of Kleftiko.
