The Highspeed docking in Parikia port!

 

Ferries can get you to any island you desire to go to. Most of the islands around the Aegean Sea are sailed to every day. There are approx. 3 ferries in the low season to about 15 in the high season arriving in Paros every day from Piraeus and other islands. Plus, there are catamarans for quick traveling between the islands and several high-speeds that takes half the normal time from Piraeus to Paros. They are comfortable and modern.

 


Some important points for you:

> Do not expect ferry schedules programs to be updated too well in advance. Often they are only finalized shortly before the ferries actually run. You will get most reliable info from around 2 weeks before your trip, NOT 6 months before!
> Transportation between Paros and Mykonos is tricky, as mostly only catamarans are used. As soon as the wind picks up to more than 7 Beaufort, sailing is prohibited. As there is an international airport in Mykonos, it is wise not to wait for the last day to catch your flight, but to go back there one day earlier!
> Weather changes quickly on the islands! (See also: Weather!)
> Prices are slightly different from travel agent to travel agent, as each travel agent represents a different company. Boat tickets being slightly more expensive on your way back may surprise you, bit it is right due to local port taxes.
> Try to avoid old boats.
> Do not rely on information that the weather will "certainly" be good - even if it looks as if it might not change! If there are cancellations, you will be able to exchange tickets.
> Please!!! DO NOT rely on the last boat to take you to your destination. At least take the second last boat to make sure you do not miss your flight!
