Paros to Milos Ferry

Paros to Milos Ferry

The Paros to Milos ferry is a satisfying crossing that links two of the Cyclades’ most rewarding islands. Paros, with its pretty marble villages and lively harbour at Parikia, and Milos, famous for its extraordinary volcanic coastline and the discovery site of the Venus de Milo, make a natural pairing for any island-hopping itinerary. Ferries run from March through to November, giving you a long window to plan around.

Sailings are daily throughout the season. In July and August you can expect up to two or three departures a day, making it straightforward to fit the crossing around your plans. In the quieter shoulder months of March, April, May, October, and November, one sailing per day is the norm, so it pays to check the schedule in advance and book early during busy periods.

Tips for the Paros–Milos Ferry

• On high-speed catamarans, seating is assigned; on conventional ferries it is often open plan – boarding early gives you the best choice of seats.
• If you are at a small island when a multi-day storm hits, accommodation will fill quickly as stranded passengers compete for rooms – secure yours immediately.
• If you are connecting to another ferry on the same day, check whether both depart from the same area of the port to gauge how much walking time you need.
• If you feel claustrophobic in enclosed spaces, reserve a window seat or opt for an outdoor berth – the open deck is always available.
• Once you arrive in Milos, the volcanic island’s extraordinary coastline reveals sea caves, coloured rock formations, and beaches of every kind, from the famous white pumice shores of Sarakiniko to the fishing village of Klima with its boathouses built into the rock. Milos is also the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered in 1820.
