Milos to Athens – Ferry Essentials

• Ferryhopper.com is the best way to buy ferry tickets for Milos to Athens ferries. It’s also good for researching ferry timetables, costs, and schedules.
• Most ferries do not sell out. But for peace of mind, book tickets 2 to 3 months in advance.
• All tickets booked through Ferryhopper are e-tickets which means you do not have to pick up a paper ticket before boarding. Scan the QR Code sent to your phone as you board the ferry.
• Ferries will leave on-time from their first departure port in the morning (usually large ports like Piraeus, Heraklio, and Rhodes) but will be late arriving and departing from all onward ports (e.g. Naxos). Usually getting later as the day progresses.
• Most areas in Greece, including Athens and Milos, have public transportation strikes throughout the year. These strikes can affect all forms of transit, including, buses, trains, ferries, flights, and taxis. During strikes no buses, no ferries, and only a handful of trains and flights will depart on time (or at all); taxis tend to be the least affected mode of transport. Though strikes can occur any time, there is always a huge strike on May 1. Avoid booking any ferries, flights, or trains that day.
