Getting from Anafi to Antiparos

If you are heading to Antiparos from Anafi you are making your way from one of the most remote islands in the Cyclades to a small island 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 Anafi 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 Anafi means taking the seasonal direct ferry from Anafi to Paros in summer, or taking the ferry from Anafi to Santorini and connecting to Paros from there, then crossing to Antiparos from Pounta.

Getting there by air

Antiparos has no airport. The nearest airport is Paros, though no commercial scheduled flights operate there in 2026. Anafi has no airport either. Taking the ferry from Anafi to Santorini, flying to Athens and then taking the ferry from Piraeus to Paros, before crossing to Antiparos from Pounta, gives a total journey time of around 7 to 8 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the seasonal direct ferry from Anafi to Paros when the schedule works for your dates, then cross to Antiparos from Pounta. The Pounta to Antiparos ferry runs every 30 minutes in summer and takes 7 minutes. If the direct service does not align, take the ferry from Anafi to Santorini and connect to Paros from there. If you are traveling with a car, the Pounta to Antiparos ferry takes vehicles across.
