So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage

This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. For the Ios to Sifnos crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no supplement is required. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Sifnos. However, it is worth asking the Aegean Speed Lines, Sea Jets, Zante Ferries or Aegean Sea Lines staff if the ship has a luggage storage facility where you can leave your bags until you reach Sifnos.
Because it's the ideal way to travel with your family!

This boat trip between Ios and Sifnos will remain an unforgettable moment for your children.
No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry.
