Sifnos Ferries
Sifnos is a 2 to 3-hour ferry ride from Athens by SeaJets and Hellenic Seaways ferries, and 5 to 6 hours by the slower and cheaper Zante Ferries. Most ferries from Athens also stop in Serifos before stopping in Sifnos. In high season (May to October) there will be 2 to 5 ferries per day from Athens. In low season there will always be at least one ferry per day. Ferry routes and times between Sifnos and other Cycladic islands can change with little notice but during high season most days will have ferries between Sifnos and Milos, Paros, and Santorini. Sifnos does not have an airport. The closest airports are in Paros, Milos, and Athens.
• How to buy ferry tickets: Ferryhopper.com
• Best seats: I recommend Business or VIP if available (nicer seats in a more relaxed setting)
• When to book tickets: 2 to 3 months in advance (any sooner and some ferry routes might not be released yet, any later and some ferries could be sold out)Example Piraeus to Sifnos Ferry Schedule
