There are 2 daily ferries (2.5-4 hours) and 6 daily flights (40 minutes) from Athens to Milos. If you have the time (or hate small planes) we recommend you take the ferry at least one way.

FERRIES

Option 1 -- 7:40 am departure from Piraeus port in Athens, 11:00 am arrival at Adamas port in Milos via SEAJETS

Option 2 -- 9am departure from Piraeus port in Athens, 12:20 arrival at Adamas port in Milos via SEAJETS

FLIGHTS

There is a small domestic airport in Milos (MLO) with flights from and to Athens (ATH). If you book early enough, flights can often be cheaper than the ferries and it is certainly quicker (40 minutes). The scenery as you fly over the island is quite wonderful so make sure to book a window seat!

AEGEAN/OLYMPIC has 4 flights/day

SKY EXPRESS has 2 flights/day

RENTAL CARS AND MOTORCYCLES

We highly recommend renting a vehicle during your stay to explore the island. You can also rent ATVs and scooters that are easy to park at popular beaches, though exploring the western part of the island requires a 4x4.
