Getting from Alexandroupoli to Antiparos

If you are heading to Antiparos from Alexandroupoli you are making your way from the far northeastern corner of Greece to a small island in the Cyclades, just off the western coast of Paros. It has a Venetian kastro village, good beaches and an atmosphere that rewards those who stay overnight rather than visiting on a day trip from Paros.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Alexandroupoli to Antiparos. Antiparos is accessible only via Paros, either by a 7 minute local ferry from Pounta on the western coast of Paros running every 30 minutes in summer, or by passenger boat from Parikia taking around 30 minutes. Getting to Paros from Alexandroupoli means flying to Athens and then taking the Piraeus to Paros ferry, which runs multiple times daily in summer.

Getting there by air

Antiparos has no airport. The nearest airport is Paros, though no commercial scheduled flights operate there in 2026. Flying from Alexandroupoli to Athens and then taking the ferry from Piraeus to Paros, before crossing to Antiparos from Pounta, gives a total journey time of around 6 to 7 hours.

Your best option

Fly from Alexandroupoli to Athens and take the Piraeus to Paros ferry, then cross to Antiparos from Pounta. The Pounta to Antiparos ferry runs every 30 minutes in summer, takes 7 minutes and carries vehicles. If you are traveling with a car, the conventional ferry from Piraeus takes your vehicle to Paros and you can drive across to Antiparos from Pounta.
