Lavrio - Milos ferry tickets from €20 | 2026

Lavrio - Milos ferry tickets and schedules

Ferry tickets for the Lavrio - Milos route start at €20 for one adult passenger. Car tickets begin at €63, while motorcycle transport costs from €14. The connection operates once per week, and the full crossing takes 16 hours and 40 minutes, as the ferry calls at nine islands before arriving at Adamas.

The route is served by Hellenic Seaways with the conventional passenger and vehicle ferry Artemis. The vessel has a garage, aircraft-style seats, indoor lounges, a café-bar, Wi-Fi, an outdoor deck and a designated pet area.

Cabins are not available, which is an important point to consider before booking such a long crossing.

The low fare is the main advantage of this route. As the same ferry serves several islands, vehicle spaces may sell out before passenger tickets.

Through booktickets.gr, travellers can check actual availability for their chosen date, enter the correct vehicle information and compare the route with faster departures from Piraeus.

Car ferry ticket prices

Transporting a standard passenger car from Lavrio to Milos costs from €63.

The following information must be entered correctly when issuing the vehicle ticket:

• Registration number
• Make and model
• Vehicle length
• Vehicle category
• Roof box
• Trailer or other towed equipment

Booking early is important. Taking a car to Milos is useful for travellers who want to move easily from Adamas to Plaka, Pollonia, Paliochori, Provatas, Fyriplaka and other parts of the island.

Lavrio - Milos journey time

The full crossing takes 16 hours and 40 minutes. The long journey is not caused by the sea distance alone, but by the number of intermediate island stops. The distance between Lavrio and Milos is 62 nautical miles, equal to 116 kilometres.

The ferry departs at 07:00 and arrives at Adamas at 23:40. Departure and arrival times should be confirmed before tickets are issued, as schedules may change.

The journey is considerably longer than the Piraeus - Milos connection. Travellers mainly choose it for the low fare, the convenient departure point in southeastern Attica or the opportunity to travel between several islands in the Cyclades.

Frequency and weekly departures

The Lavrio - Milos route operates once per week. It is not a daily connection and offers limited flexibility when choosing travel dates.

Artemis departs from Lavrio and continues to several islands before reaching Milos.

Because of the limited frequency, travellers should check the following before booking:

• The exact departure day
• The late-night arrival at Adamas
• Accommodation availability
• Transport from the port after arrival
• The available return route
• Remaining vehicle spaces in the garage

A change of travel date may postpone the journey by an entire week. This route is therefore less suitable for travellers with a strict schedule or a connection to another form of transport.

Departure and arrival times

The published schedule includes departure from Lavrio at 07:00 and arrival in Milos at 23:40. The total journey time is 16 hours and 40 minutes.

Passengers travelling with a car need additional time for unloading. Vehicles leave the garage in the order arranged by the crew, not according to their arrival time at Lavrio port.

The number of intermediate stops also increases the chance of a minor delay, particularly when traffic is heavy at the island ports.

Ferry company and vessel

The route is operated by Hellenic Seaways with Artemis. It is a conventional passenger and vehicle ferry designed for local connections and itineraries with several port calls.

Artemis can carry up to 748 passengers and has a garage capacity of 128 lane metres. Its speed reaches 19.2 knots.

The main vessel features include:

• Length of 89.80 metres
• Width of 14 metres
• Capacity of up to 748 passengers
• Garage for cars and motorcycles
• Aircraft-style seating
• Indoor passenger lounges
• Outdoor deck

The ferry does not have passenger cabins. For a crossing lasting more than 16 hours, a reserved seat is more practical than spending the entire journey in a shared lounge.

Intermediate stops on the route

The connection is not direct. Before arriving in Milos, Artemis calls at:

• Kea
• Kythnos
• Syros
• Paros
• Naxos
• Ios
• Sikinos
• Folegandros
• Kimolos

After Kimolos, the ferry continues to Adamas in Milos. These nine intermediate stops explain the length of the crossing.

Passengers do not need to leave the vessel or change ferries. They remain on Artemis until arrival in Milos.

At each port, the garage opens for vehicle loading and unloading.

The itinerary can also be useful for island hopping, although the individual island connections are not available every day.

Departure port in Lavrio

Lavrio port is located in southeastern Attica. It is 60 kilometres from central Athens and 35 kilometres from Athens International Airport.

Driving from Athens takes more than 1 hour, depending on traffic. The distance from the airport is shorter.

Facilities near the port include:

• Parking areas
• Ferry ticket offices
• Cafés and restaurants
• Taxis
• KTEL regional bus stops
• Small shops

Travelling to Lavrio by public transport takes longer than travelling to Piraeus. Buses to Lavrio do not operate as frequently as the metro and suburban railway services to Piraeus.

For a departure at 07:00, passengers without a car should check whether an early bus can reach the port in time.

Arrival port in Milos

The ferry arrives at Adamas, the main passenger port of Milos. The area has accommodation, restaurants, shops, vehicle rental companies and transport services.

Close to the quay, travellers will find:

• Taxi rank
• Local bus stops
• Car and motorcycle rental offices
• Parking areas
• Cafés and restaurants
• Hotels and rooms
• Travel agencies

Arrival at 23:40 requires advance planning. Local buses may have completed their daily schedule by that time.

Cabins and passenger seating

Artemis does not have cabins. Passengers travel in aircraft-style seats, indoor lounges or on the outdoor deck.

For this particular crossing, a reserved seat is the more comfortable choice. The journey lasts almost the entire day and finishes late at night.

Useful items to keep with you include:

• Small travel pillow
• Light jacket
• Water
• Charger or power bank
• Any medication you may need
• Small bag with personal belongings

Large luggage must be placed in the storage areas indicated by the crew. Money, documents, medication and electronic devices should remain with you.

Onboard facilities

Artemis provides the main facilities required for a long ferry journey, although it does not offer the same services as a large overnight ferry with cabins.

Facilities on board include:

• Air-conditioned indoor areas
• Aircraft-style seating
• Café-bar
• Wi-Fi
• Outdoor deck
• Designated pet area
• Facilities for passengers with disabilities
• Vehicle garage

The café-bar serves water, drinks and light food.

Discounts and special offers

Hellenic Seaways provides reduced fares for passengers who meet the relevant eligibility requirements.

Discounts may be available for:

• Children and infants, with free travel or discounts of up to 50%
• Students, with discounts of up to 50%
• Large families
• Passengers with disabilities and their carers
• Permanent island residents
• Holders of a Unique Islander Number
• Members of ferry company loyalty programmes

Children up to 5 years old travel free of charge without occupying a separate seat. The Lavrio - Milos fare for children aged 5 to 10 is €10.

The discount must be selected during booking. The corresponding supporting document must be presented during boarding.

Milos - Lavrio return route

The return schedule requires careful checking. Artemis departs from Milos on Saturday at 07:00, continuing towards Kimolos, Folegandros, Sikinos, Ios, Naxos, Paros and Syros. The same-day schedule does not show a continuation to Lavrio.

This means that a direct weekly Milos - Lavrio return service should not be considered guaranteed under the same itinerary.

In many cases, the more practical return option to Attica is the Milos - Piraeus route, which provides more departures and shorter journey times.

Alternative routes to Milos

The main alternative is the Piraeus - Milos ferry route. More departures are available from Piraeus, operated by both conventional and high-speed ferries.

Lavrio is a suitable option when:

• The €20 passenger fare is available
• The journey begins in eastern or southern Attica
• The trip is combined with other islands
• The long journey time is not a problem

Piraeus is the better option when speed, daily availability or easier access from Athens is the main priority.
