The accessibility to Paros island is rather easy and straightforward with plenty of travel options on a daily basis, either by air or by sea. To get to Paros Island, you will need to fly to Athens first.

Air: There are several flights per day from the Athens Airport to Paros - the flight duration is approximately 30 minutes.

Sea: You can also travel to Paros by ferry - the ferry takes about 4 hours. Ferries depart regularly from the Port of Piraeus or Rafina in Athens.

FLY TO PAROS

Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air and Sky Express offer direct flights from Athens to Paros. There are no direct flights to Paros from any other cities in Europe other than Athens since Paros is not an international airport (it is very small with only 2 gates).

Note: flights will sell out much earlier than ferries – if you find a flight that works for you, book it as soon as possible!

Athens Airport Code: ATH

Paros Airport Code: PAS

FERRY TO PAROS

Ferries from Athens will make a few stops and take anywhere from 3 to 7 hours, depending on the type of boat (some are high speed ferries, some are not). Paros is connected by direct ferry to Naxos, about a 30-minute trip. Ferries connecting Paros to the islands of Mykonos, Ios, Milos, Folegandros, Santorini, and Crete usually make a few stops and can take 40 minutes to 6.5 hours. Ferryhopper.com is the best way to search for and purchase ferry tickets to Paros. The main ferry boat companies are: Hellenic Seaways, BlueStar Ferries, Direct Ferries, and LetsFerry.

Note: As most boat companies have not yet released their summer itineraries, feel free to book ferry tickets a month in advance or so.
