Getting from Paros to Fournoi

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Paros to Fournoi. Getting there means either taking the seasonal direct ferry from Paros to Ikaria and then the short local ferry to Fournoi, or flying via Athens. The Paros to Ikaria seasonal service runs in summer and takes around 3 to 5 hours.

Getting there by air

Your best option

Take the seasonal ferry from Paros to Ikaria when it is running and cross to Fournoi from there. If the direct service is not available for your dates, fly to Ikaria via Athens and take the local ferry across. Give yourself at least two nights on Fournoi and come prepared as facilities on the island are limited.
