Getting from Rhodes to Parga

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Rhodes to Parga. It is a mainland coastal town with no connection to the Dodecanese ferry network. Getting there means taking the overnight ferry from Rhodes to Piraeus and then travelling by road northwest to Parga, which takes around 5 to 6 hours from Athens.

Getting there by air

Your best option

Fly to Preveza via Athens and take a taxi or bus to Parga. It is the fastest and most practical approach. If you are travelling with a car, the overnight ferry from Rhodes to Piraeus is the practical choice, then drive northwest to Parga from Athens.
