Why travel by ferry from Ios to Milos?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Ios to Milos ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Milos. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Ios to Milos is an ideal way to travel.

You get much more rest than in the car
Because of the heightened alertness required to drive a car on long journeys, driving is exhausting. The Ios Milos ferry trip is exactly the opposite. On board, depending on the LANE Sea Line, Zante Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, ANEK Lines or Sea Jets ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. You arrive in Milos stress-free and totally relaxed.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Ios to Milos by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
To enjoy the incredible sea view
When we are on the coast, we often look for places that offer the best sea view. During the Ios Milos crossing, whether you are on deck, dining in the restaurant or relaxing in the comfortable lounges of the LANE Sea Line, Zante Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, ANEK Lines or Sea Jets ship, you will simply have a front row seat to the incredible spectacle that the sea offers.
