During the summer, ferries reach Milos daily from Piraeus and the  Cycladic islands, Sifnos, Folegandros, Santorini.  The newest high-speed line (Katamaran) takes both people and cars.  Very frequent changes are made in the timetable during the year, so please contact a Greek tourist office in Milos or book on line, to make sure of your planned trip.

  Our suggestion to those who arrive to Patra by car, or by plane to the Venizelos Airport, is to schedule the trip in those days when there is a late evening ferry.  Allow sufficient time for boarding and transfer from Airport/Patra (at least 2 hours from the airport and 4 from Patra).

  At present, the fast Catamaran, SPEEDRUNNER II, taking both passengers and cars has published its schedule. See http://www.aegeanspeedlines.gr/index_en.html . Tickets are sold online and delivery can be  made to Piraeus Port.

  NEWS: this summer do consider the possibility to reach Milos via Santorini. From May 20th 2010 there will be the fast ship "SUPER JET", with a daily trip, as follows:

Santorini 16:55          > Folegandros 17:45     > Milos 18:55
Milos 10:10               >Folegandros 11:10      >Santorini 12:05

   We do our best to follow the various timetables, and the summer schedule is inserted as soon as known. Otherwise, check online, but be aware of the fact that if on the selected date they say that there are no ships, it isn't really so: simply,  the schedule is not fixed so as to allow booking on line! Wait some time and recheck!

 Webmaster's note: In terms of customer service, i.e. ticket booking and timetables, prices and competition, organization, etc. the situation of internal ferry transportation in Greece is long from putting tourists at ease. It is  difficult  to understand why there aren't steady and timely timetables in a country that lives on tourism.
