Ferry Connections from Athens & the Cyclades
Folegandros does not have an airport, meaning it is accessible only by ferry. During the high season, there are daily departures from Athens (Piraeus port) taking about 4 hours on high-speed vessels and 7-9 hours on standard passenger ferries. Additionally, Folegandros is well connected to neighboring destinations like Santorini (just 45 minutes on high-speed boats), Milos (1 hour), and Naxos. We recommend booking your ferry tickets well in advance, especially for July and August travel.
