Why travel by ferry from Milos to Ios?

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

To not get tired, unlike in the car
Because of the heightened alertness required to drive a car on long journeys, driving is exhausting. Conversely, a Milos Ios boat trip is ultra relaxing. 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. No doubt you'll arrive in Ios completely relaxed.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Milos to Ios 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. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
With the train, bus or plane, an excess of one free piece of luggage is often applied and each additional piece of luggage generates an additional cost. On the Milos Ios ferry, you can take as much luggage as you like, within the capacity of your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Ios. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of LANE Sea Line, Zante Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, ANEK Lines or Sea Jets, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
