03Schedule by season

Milos (Adamas) to Mykonos ferry schedule by season.

The route runs from March to November, and Ferryhopper lists 1 to 7 sailing days a week from Milos in that window. Its monthly table, which reflects last year's pattern, shows Seajets sailing between once a week and every day depending on the month, with the fewest sailings at the very start and end of the season, and no data at all for December to February. We do not have a dated timetable sample for this direction, so we cannot tell you departure times; the booking page shows the sailings for your date. Because the service is not daily in most months, fix your ferry first and your accommodation second.

The Journey

The Milos (Adamas) to Mykonos crossing.

Milos sits in the south-west of the Cyclades and Mykonos in the middle, so this crossing cuts right across the island group. It is a popular link for travellers who want both of the big names in one trip: the volcanic coastline of Milos and the town life and beaches of Mykonos. The direct option is a high-speed Seajets boat, and it only runs in the main season.

Milos is a volcanic island shaped around one of the largest natural bays in the Mediterranean, known for its dramatic coastline and beaches such as the white rock of Sarakiniko. Days there are spent swimming and exploring the shore. Mykonos is a sharp change of pace, with the windmills above Chora, the lanes of Little Venice, beach clubs and some of the best-known nightlife in the Mediterranean. Many people end a trip on Mykonos simply because of its flight connections.

Timing is the thing to check before you book. In the middle of summer the Seajets boats make the trip in under three hours, but in the shoulder months at the start and end of the season Ferryhopper's data shows sailings taking around 5 hours, because the boat follows a longer routing. Same company, same two ports, very different day.

It is also a pricey ticket: €97.70 for one adult when we checked, with no car fare listed. If you are on a budget, or travelling outside March to November, it can make sense to go via Paros or Naxos, both of which have boats from Milos and many onward sailings to Mykonos.

How long the crossing takes

Ferryhopper gives a usual range of 2 hr 40 min to 5 hr 15 min, and 2 hr 40 min is the shortest trip it lists from Adamas to Mykonos. Its month-by-month data for this direction, based on last year, shows the quick sailings at 2 hr 40 min to 2 hr 55 min in the core summer months, and slower Seajets routings of 5 hr 5 min to 5 hr 20 min at the edges of the season. The same table also includes a once-weekly Blue Star Ferries sailing of 7 hr 55 min in one month. So check the arrival time before you pay, not only the departure: it tells you straight away whether you are on a direct run or the long way round.

04The ports

Where the Milos (Adamas) to Mykonos ferry docks.

Departure port

Milos

MLO · 36.7256° N 24.4489° E

Your boat leaves from Adamas, also spelled Adamantas, the island's main harbour on the north side of the bay. If you are staying in Adamas itself you can walk down with your bags, since the village is only a couple of minutes from the quay; from Plaka or elsewhere on the island, arrange a lift or taxi. Dropping off a hire car is simple, as there is parking at the port. While you wait there are toilets, free Wi-Fi and a tourist information office, and the village cafés and shops are close by for a last coffee. In high summer allow a good margin, as the harbour fills up whenever a ship is due.

Arrival port

Mykonos

JMK · 37.4467° N 25.3289° E

On Mykonos you dock at the main port in Tourlos, a short drive north of Chora (Mykonos Town) and not far from the airport, rather than at the old harbour in town. Inside the terminal building you will find an ATM and the KTEL station for the island buses, so you can take a bus from the port. Outside the terminal there are car rental offices, hotels and a few places to eat. Taxis are limited when a big boat lands, so pre-book a transfer in high season, particularly if you arrive in the evening.

05On Board

On board the Milos (Adamas) to Mykonos ferry.

Three hours or more on a fast boat is long enough to think about where you sit. Most passengers ride in the air-conditioned main lounge, some boats have seats out on deck, and the VIP lounges with numbered seats are the quieter choice if you want to read or sleep. Since this is a daytime high-speed crossing, there are no cabins. You can buy coffee and snacks from the canteen, and the onboard Wi-Fi hotspot is handy for sorting out your Mykonos transfer. You keep your own bags, with no check-in, and roughly 50 kg per person travels free. Pets are generally accepted free of charge if added to the booking, with their health booklet.

06Weather and cancellations

Wind, weather and cancellations on the Milos (Adamas) to Mykonos route.

The open stretch of the Aegean between Milos and Mykonos is fully exposed to the meltemi, the northerly summer wind that is usually strongest in July and August. High-speed boats like the Seajets craft are the first to be slowed, delayed or kept in port when it blows hard, and a crossing of nearly three hours on a fast boat can be uncomfortable in a big swell. If your sailing is cancelled, contact Seajets or your booking platform to move to another departure or get a refund. With no daily service in most months, the fastest workaround may be a boat to Paros or Naxos, where more sailings run on to Mykonos.

07Travel Tips

Milos (Adamas) to Mykonos ferry travel tips.

  1. Check the arrival time when you book: the same Seajets route can take 2 hr 40 min or over 5 hours depending on the date.

  2. Budget for the fare: one adult cost €97.70 and two adults €195.40 on Ferryhopper when we checked.

  3. Staying in Plaka or Pollonia? Book your ride to Adamas the day before rather than hoping for a taxi.

  4. Pack snacks and water for the long shoulder-season sailings of around 5 hours.

  5. Travelling in December to February? There is no direct boat, so plan a route via Piraeus or another island.

08Alternatives

Other ways between Milos (Adamas) and Mykonos.

For the return journey, see our Mykonos to Milos page. If the direct boat does not fit your dates, you can go via Paros, Naxos, Santorini, Syros or Ios: Milos has ferries to each of them, and each has sailings on to Mykonos. Paros and Naxos are usually the easiest changes. Both Milos (MLO) and Mykonos (JMK) have airports, but we have no information on a direct flight between them, so a flight would normally mean connecting through Athens (ATH).

Questions

Milos (Adamas) to Mykonos ferry: frequently asked questions.

  • From about 2 hr 40 min on the quickest Seajets sailings up to around 5 hr 20 min on longer routings early and late in the season, according to Ferryhopper's data. A rare Blue Star Ferries sailing in last year's data took 7 hr 55 min. Check the arrival time on your booking to see which type you are on.

  • One adult cost €97.70 and two adults €195.40 when we checked Ferryhopper on 24 September 2026. Individual Seajets sailings in Ferryhopper's monthly data were priced from €108.70. There was no car fare listed. A rare Blue Star sailing in last year's data was far cheaper, from €12.50, but it is not a regular service.

  • From March to November, on 1 to 7 days a week depending on the month, based on Ferryhopper's data from last year. The busiest months can have a daily sailing, while the start and end of the season may have just one a week. There is no direct boat from December to February.

  • Seajets runs the regular direct service on high-speed boats. Blue Star Ferries also appeared in Ferryhopper's data for this direction, but only once a week in a single month last year, on a long conventional routing, so treat it as an exception rather than an option to plan on.

  • The Seajets high-speed boat on a direct routing, at about 2 hr 40 min, which is the shortest trip Ferryhopper lists from Adamas to Mykonos. In the core summer months last year's data shows 2 hr 40 min to 2 hr 55 min for this crossing.

  • Ferryhopper showed no car fare for this route when we checked, and our sources do not confirm vehicle space on the Seajets boats. If you need to take a car, search with the vehicle added, or plan a route with larger conventional ferries via another island.

  • Early, especially for July and August. There is only one regular operator and most months do not have a daily boat, so a full sailing can push your trip back by days. Booking early also lets you pick a direct 2 hr 40 min sailing over a 5 hour one.

  • From Adamas (Adamantas), the main port of Milos, on the north side of the island's large bay. The village is a couple of minutes' walk from the quay, and the port area has a tourist information office, parking, toilets and free Wi-Fi.

  • At the main port in Tourlos, north of Mykonos Town. The terminal has an ATM and the KTEL bus station, and there are car rental offices, hotels and eateries just outside. Taxis are limited when a large boat arrives, so pre-book a transfer in summer.

  • Strong north winds in July and August can delay or cancel high-speed boats, and the port authority may keep them in port. Ask Seajets or your booking platform for another sailing or a refund. Because the direct route is not daily in most months, a boat to Paros or Naxos and an onward ferry to Mykonos may be quicker than waiting.

  • Seajets sails the reverse route in the same March to November season, from about 2 hr 45 min, and one adult also cost €97.70 that way when we checked. See our Mykonos to Milos page for the details and alternatives.
