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

It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally speaking, to get to Ios or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Sikinos Ios ferry journey with Sea Jets, ANEK Lines, Hellenic Seaways, Zante Ferries or LANE Sea Line, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience to flying!

The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will soothe you instantly. You'll arrive in Ios feeling perfectly zen and energised.
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 Sikinos 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, many ships provide luggage storage for foot passengers.
