Practical tips
Summer ferries to smaller islands can sell out, especially when sailings are limited. Reserve your ticket as soon as your dates are fixed, and use online booking to get instant confirmation rather than hoping for a seat at the quay.
Small-island connections may not run every day. Check which days a boat sails, lock in that crossing first, then arrange accommodation and other legs around it so you are not left waiting for the next sailing.
If your trip includes Athens before or after, the boat may use Piraeus, Rafina or Lavrio. Each is far from the others, so read the port name on your ticket carefully and never assume it is Piraeus.
Strong winds can delay or cancel sailings in the Cyclades. Avoid tight same-day connections such as a flight home, and keep a spare night in your plan whenever a fixed departure matters.
Because sailings from a small island can be infrequent, check how you will leave Sikinos before you arrive. Booking your onward or return ferry in advance avoids being stuck longer than planned.
The journey experience
Getting from Santorini to Sikinos is refreshingly simple: the ferry is the option to plan around, so there is no need to weigh coach, train and flight against each other. Sikinos is a quiet, little-visited Cyclades island, which makes it an easy and peaceful add-on to an island-hopping route.
The ferry leaves from Santorini's main ferry port and arrives at a small, relaxed island. Boats on routes like this typically offer indoor seating, outdoor decks and room for luggage. Operators and vessels can change between seasons, so rely on the booking page for the boat running on your date. The table on this page shows current duration and price range at a glance.
Links to small islands may run only on certain days, and timetables shift with the season, so choose your date first and build the rest of your itinerary around it. In summer, book ahead. Check the departure port on your ticket, and if you connect from Athens, note whether your boat sails from Piraeus, Rafina or Lavrio. Leave a buffer before onward connections, as wind can delay sailings.
