Getting from Antiparos to Evia

If you are heading to Evia from Antiparos you are making your way from a small quiet island in the Cyclades to the second largest island in Greece, connected to the mainland by road bridges and within easy reach of Athens.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Antiparos to Evia. Antiparos is connected only to Paros by a 7 minute ferry from Pounta running every 30 minutes in summer. Getting to Evia means taking the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros, making your way to Piraeus and then either crossing the bridge at Halkida, around 90 kilometres from Athens, or taking one of the short mainland to Evia ferry connections such as Rafina to Marmari, which takes around 1 hour, or Arkitsa to Loutra Edipsou in the north, which takes around 30 minutes.

Getting there by air

Evia has no commercial airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Antiparos has no airport either. Taking the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros, making your way to Piraeus and then traveling to Evia by road or short ferry gives a total journey time of around 6 to 7 hours depending on which part of the island you are heading to. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros, make your way to Piraeus and drive or take the bus across the bridge to Halkida. If you are heading to the southern coast, the ferry from Rafina to Marmari is a convenient connection close to Athens Airport. If you are traveling with a car, take the short ferry from Antiparos to Paros and drive to whichever part of Evia suits your plans.
