How much does the ferry from Mykonos to Syros cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Mykonos to Syros?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your travel date and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - in a few minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is frequently the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Mykonos to Syros: how to pay less

A cheap Mykonos to Syros ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

  • Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
  • Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
  • Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
  • Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
  • Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
  • Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare

We answer "what is the cheapest way to get from Mykonos to Syros by ferry?" many times a day; the answer for the date you travel comes back through WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.

Timetable and season of the Mykonos to Syros ferry

The Mykonos to Syros ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 1 hour. Tell us the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.

For a connection at Syros - a flight, a train or another ferry - let us know and we choose a sailing with a comfortable margin.

Departure: Mykonos New Port (Tourlos)

Mykonos New Port (Tourlos) is where the Mykonos to Syros ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

  • Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
  • Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
  • Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
  • Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck

Arrival: Ermoupoli port, Syros

Arrival is at Ermoupoli port, Syros. Syros is the capital island of the Cyclades, with the neoclassical port town of Ermoupoli and the hilltop quarter of Ano Syros. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the pier with your name, or tell you the best way to your hotel by bus or taxi. If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Onward journeys from Syros - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; tell us and we time the crossing to fit.

On board the Mykonos to Syros ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Both types on this route carry vehicles on some sailings; we tell you which. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

  • Children's fares by age; infants normally free
  • Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling
  • Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
  • Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths

Things to do in Syros after the ferry

The reasons travellers take the ferry to Syros are the Apollo theatre, Ermoupoli and Miaouli square and Ano Syros. Syros is the capital island of the Cyclades, with the neoclassical port town of Ermoupoli and the hilltop quarter of Ano Syros.

We offer tours and transfers in Syros as well as the ferry ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the ferry from Mykonos to Syros

Every season has its case for Syros. On the water, the season shows in sea conditions and availability more than in comfort: book early for summer, Easter and holiday weekends between Mykonos and Syros, and choose morning sailings when the wind is forecast.

Ferry or flight from Mykonos to Syros?

Ferry versus plane between Mykonos and Syros comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Syros to Mykonos

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return ferry ticket from Syros to Mykonos booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the whole trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

Can I bring a pet?

Many ships accept pets in carriers or on-board kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Tell us in the WhatsApp chat and we finalise the rules for your sailing.

Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Mykonos to Syros?

For most passengers the ferry: it lands in the town, carries all your luggage and the car and is generally cheaper door to door. We provide flights too and say honestly which is better for your dates.

Can Haqqi Tours arrange transfers to and from the ports?

Yes - a private car from your hotel to Mykonos New Port (Tourlos) and a driver waiting at Ermoupoli port, Syros, with room for the luggage, on the same confirmation as the ferry ticket.

How early should I be at Mykonos New Port (Tourlos)?

Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, vehicles 60 to 90, earlier on international routes. Some fast boats board ten minutes before departure and do not wait, so we send the exact cut-off with the ticket.

Do I need a passport for this ferry?

Carry an ID or passport; it is required on many sailings and checked at the port on international crossings. We tell you what applies when we confirm.

Can I choose a seat or a cabin?

Yes, wherever the ship has classes - airline-style, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Say what you prefer and we send the cost of each.

Is the crossing rough?

Generally calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Let us know if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.

What if the weather cancels the sailing?

The company moves you to the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk sorts it out for you on the day. In poor forecasts we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails when the fast boats stay in port.

Do children need a ferry ticket?

Yes, at a child fare; infants generally sail free. Put the ages on the form and we apply the right fares for the Mykonos to Syros crossing.

Can I book a return ferry ticket?

Of course. Tick "return" on the form with both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper with many companies and we book whichever suits you best.

Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?

Luggage is not weighed on most ferries and is carried free within the shipping line's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes limit the number of bags. We tell you what applies to your sailing.

Can I take a car on the Mykonos to Syros ferry?

Yes - this is a car ferry route. Send the vehicle's length and height on WhatsApp and we reserve the deck space; vehicles check in 60-90 minutes before sailing.

How often does the ferry from Mykonos to Syros run?

Daily, several a day in summer, with more sailings in summer. We send the timetable for your dates.
