Finding your way to Kimolos ferry port
The Kimolos Ferry Terminal is in Psathi, the island’s main Port on the southeast coast, a short drive from Chorio (Kimolos town). There is no airport on Kimolos; the nearest is on Milos, with ferries connecting the islands. You can reach the Port by rental car, scooter, taxi, or on foot from Chorio (around 15–25 minutes, depending on where you stay). Local taxis are the most convenient if you have luggage; your accommodation can usually help arrange one.

Exploring Santorini
Santorini is one of the most famous Islands in Greece, and it really looks like a postcard. White houses with blue roofs sit on the cliffs, and the sunsets in places like Oia and Fira are some of the best in the world. You can walk through narrow streets, take amazing photos, and enjoy little cafes with views of the sea.
The Island has special beaches too, like the Red Beach with its red rocks and the Black Beach with dark sand from the volcano. You can visit the ancient site of Akrotiri, an old town covered in volcanic ash, or hike along the caldera path between Fira and Oia for incredible views.
Try local food such as fresh fish, tomato fritters, and Santorini wine made from grapes grown in volcanic soil. For a hidden gem, explore quieter villages like Pyrgos or Emporio, where you can wander around old castles and quiet streets.
Santorini is perfect for a quick getaway, but it also works well as a starting point to visit nearby Islands and explore more of the Aegean Sea.
