Getting from Paros to Naxos

If you are heading to Naxos from Paros you are making one of the shortest and most frequent hops in the Cyclades, to the largest island in the group just a short distance to the east.

 

Take the ferry

The Paros to Naxos ferry is one of the most frequent connections in the Cyclades, with up to 8 daily departures in summer and several per week year-round. The trip takes around 30 to 45 minutes on the fast catamaran and around 1 hour on a conventional vessel. It is one of the easiest island hops in Greece and you rarely need to book in advance.

 

Getting there by air

Both Paros and Naxos have airports. There are no direct flights between the two islands. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights. The ferry is the obvious and only sensible choice on this route.

 

Your best option

Take the ferry. At under 45 minutes on the fast boat it is one of the shortest hops in the Aegean. Check the schedule and pick the departure that works for you.
