Why travel by ferry from Ios to Sikinos?

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

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. This is not the case on the ferry. Like any vehicle, your two-wheeler will be parked in the ship's garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Ios-Sikinos crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Sikinos.
It's much less boring than on a plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Ios to Sikinos. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. On the contrary, on the Ios-Sikinos route on board the LANE Sea Line, Zante Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, ANEK Lines or Sea Jets ferry, you will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourself, to walk around on the outside deck and even to sunbathe in the summer. A totally different experience to flying!
