Getting from Agathonisi to Kimolos

If you are heading to Kimolos from Agathonisi you are making your way from the northern Dodecanese group to a small white island just off the northwestern tip of Milos in the western Cyclades, on the opposite side of the Aegean. It has beaches that see a fraction of the crowds found anywhere nearby.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agathonisi to Kimolos. Getting there means taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then taking the ferry from Piraeus to Milos, which takes around 3 to 5 hours, and then crossing to Kimolos from Milos on the short local ferry from Pollonia, which takes around 20 to 25 minutes and runs daily.

Getting there by air

Kimolos has no airport. The nearest airport is Milos. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Milos, followed by the short local ferry from Pollonia to Kimolos, gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, fly to Athens and then fly to Milos and take the short local ferry across to Kimolos. It is the most practical approach. If you are traveling with a car, fly to Athens and take the conventional ferry from Piraeus to Milos, crossing to Kimolos from Pollonia on the local ferry.
