Getting from Antiparos to Sifnos

If you are heading to Sifnos from Antiparos you are making your way from a small quiet island in the Cyclades to one of the most respected islands in the group, on the western side of the Aegean. It is known above all for its food, a tradition of pottery and cooking that has made it one of the most regarded gastronomic destinations in the Aegean.

Take the ferry

There is a seasonal direct ferry from Antiparos to Sifnos 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 Sifnos ferry, which runs several times daily in summer and takes around 2 to 3.5 hours depending on the vessel.

Getting there by air

Sifnos has no airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Antiparos has no airport either. Taking the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros and continuing to Sifnos by ferry 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 and board the Paros to Sifnos ferry. It is the most natural and practical connection and keeps the journey entirely within the Cyclades. If you are traveling with a car, the conventional ferry from Paros takes your vehicle directly to Kamares port on Sifnos.
