Getting from Antiparos to Kimolos

If you are heading to Kimolos from Antiparos you are making your way from a small quiet island in the Cyclades to a small white island just off the northwestern tip of Milos in the western part of the group. It has beaches that see a fraction of the crowds found anywhere nearby.

Take the ferry

There is a seasonal direct ferry from Antiparos to Kimolos running in summer on the wider Blue Star and Seajets routes. The service runs a limited number of times per week and takes around 3 to 6 hours with stops along the way. The more practical approach is to take the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros, which takes 7 minutes from Pounta, and then board the Paros 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. Antiparos has no airport either. Taking the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros, continuing to Milos by ferry and then crossing to Kimolos from Pollonia keeps the journey entirely within the Cyclades and avoids Athens entirely. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros, board the Paros to Milos ferry and then take the short local ferry across to Kimolos from Pollonia. It keeps the journey entirely within the Cyclades. If you are traveling with a car, the conventional ferry from Paros takes your vehicle to Milos and you can cross to Kimolos from Pollonia on the local ferry.
