The Andros to Paros ferry is one of the classic Cyclades crossings, linking two islands with very different characters. Andros, the northernmost of the group, is greener and quieter than most of its neighbours; Paros sits at the heart of the archipelago and draws visitors in serious numbers. The ferry connects them directly, and during the season it runs daily.
Service runs from April through to the end of October, with no winter sailings on this route. At the height of summer you can expect around 4 departures per day, while the shoulder months of April and October typically see just 1 or 2 sailings daily. Plan accordingly if you are travelling outside the peak period.

Tips for the Andros–Paros Ferry
- Wheeled suitcases are harder to manage on steep gangways and across uneven quaysides than backpacks; a soft-sided bag with carry handles is a practical compromise.
- Quick-dry travel towels pack much smaller than conventional towels and are worth the investment if you are covering multiple islands.
- If you are flexible on timing, the first sailing of the day is often less crowded than mid-morning departures on popular routes.
- In Paros, the charming fishing village of Naoussa on the north coast is the best place to eat fresh seafood at family-run waterfront tavernas. The main town of Parikia has an impressive Byzantine cathedral built from the marble of ancient temples, and the island’s beaches – particularly Kolymbithres with its sculpted granite rocks – are among the most striking in the Cyclades.
