Getting from Paros to Evia

If you are heading to Evia from Paros you are making your way to the second largest island in Greece, a long mountainous island of forests, thermal springs and coastline connected to the mainland by road bridges and sitting within easy reach of Athens.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Paros to Evia. The island is connected to the mainland by road bridges and short ferry crossings from the Attica and Boeotian coasts, none of which connect to Paros. Getting there means flying to Athens and then either crossing the bridge at Halkida, around 90 kilometres from central Athens, or taking one of the short mainland to Evia ferry connections.

Getting there by air

Evia has no commercial airport. The nearest airport is Athens. Flying from Paros to Athens takes around 45 minutes and then the drive or bus to Halkida takes around 1.5 hours. Total travel time is around 3 to 4 hours.

Your best option

Fly to Athens and drive or take the bus to Halkida. The bridge crossing into Evia is straightforward and from Halkida you can head north toward the thermal baths at Edipsos or south toward the remote beaches of the southern tip depending on where you are heading.
