Kimolos attracts visitors looking for a peaceful vacation away from the crowds. It is also ideal for a short getaway, especially from nearby Milos. The best time to book your tickets depends on when you plan to travel to Kimolos:

Summer months (June-September): although Kimolos is not as busy as other Cycladic islands, demand for ferry tickets increases during the summer. We recommend booking your tickets 1-2 months in advance, especially if you plan to bring your vehicle.

Rest of the year: in the fall and winter months, demand is lower, so you can book your tickets just a few days or even one day before your trip.

Kimolos, the small volcanic retreat of the Cyclades, stands out for its unparalleled natural beauty and hidden treasures. The island’s landscape is dominated by dazzling white rock formations and crystal-clear turquoise waters, while the traditional Cycladic architecture is a signature feature of Chorio, the island’s capital, with its picturesque alleys and medieval castle.

The island’s beaches, such as Karas, Prassa and Aliki, have earned Kimolos loyal visitors who even have their own catchphrase for describing its unique magic: "My Kimolos - My Paradise." The island is also famous for its local cuisine and traditional baked goods, like ladenia and tirenia, which you should definitely try for a taste of the authentic Kimolos experience. 

Here are a few tips to make sure you enjoy a comfortable trip and a pleasant stay in Kimolos:
