Route guide

Piraeus to Sikinos ferry

Piraeus–Sikinos is part of Fast Ferries’ current 2026 Greek network. A published 2026 day sailing leaves Piraeus at 07:00 and reaches Sikinos at 16:35. The operator currently publishes up to six departures a week in the 2026 peak period. Treat these timings as planning guidance and use the live booking result for the exact departure, intermediate calls and arrival time on your travel date.

This service uses a conventional passenger-and-vehicle ferry. Cars and foot passengers can travel subject to availability, and the larger ship format provides indoor lounges, deck space and food service. On a crossing of about 9 hours 35 minutes, reserved seating or cabin accommodation can be worthwhile where offered, particularly for later-day or overnight journeys.

At Sikinos, the ferry arrives at Alopronia Ferry Port. Sikinos ferries berth at Alopronia, the island’s small port village. The beach and several services are close to the quay, while the road climbs inland to Chora and the historic Kastro area. If your itinerary continues to another island, check connection times carefully because weather, seasonal schedules and multi-stop routing can alter the practical transfer window.

Even on Piraeus to Sikinos, fares and vessel assignments can vary by departure, so compare the live options rather than relying only on a typical journey time.

For Piraeus to Sikinos, the advertised crossing time is only one part of the journey. Allow for port access, check-in, boarding and disembarkation when deciding which departure best fits the day.

Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Planning the wider journey in Greece

Greek island ferries are normally an onward stage after reaching Greece by air or by road and an Adriatic crossing. Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrio are separate Athens-area ports, and an airport connection needs time for travel and ferry check-in.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Piraeus to Sikinos fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
