Four companies sail from Milos, in the Cyclades, to Piraeus, in Athens, about six times a day in season between them: Seajets, ANEK Lines, Minoan Lines and Fast Ferries. About twice a day in season, a ferry goes direct and takes about 4½ hours; the others call at other ports in the Cyclades on the way and take 3¼ to 7¼ hours. Some sailings take cars, others foot passengers only. ANEK Lines and Minoan Lines sail all year round; the other sailings are seasonal.
