Getting from Agios Efstratios to Kimolos

If you are heading to Kimolos from Agios Efstratios you are making your way from a small island in the northern Aegean 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 Agios Efstratios to Kimolos. Getting there means taking the ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, which runs 4 times a week in summer and takes around 1 hour 30 minutes, flying to Athens and then taking the Piraeus to Milos ferry, followed by the short local ferry from Pollonia to Kimolos, 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 ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, 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 ferry from Agios Efstratios to Lemnos, 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.
