The Paros to Naxos ferry is one of the most convenient island hops in the Cyclades — two neighbouring islands separated by just 25 minutes of open water. Whether you’re island-hopping through the archipelago or making a quick crossing between the two, this is about as straightforward as Greek ferry travel gets.
Service runs throughout the year, though you’ll notice a clear difference between seasons. Summer brings a busy schedule with an average of around 10 departures per day in June, July, and August. In winter, expect roughly 2 sailings daily, so a little forward planning goes a long way.

Tips for the Paros–Naxos Ferry
- In summer, the heat on quaysides can be intense, especially during midday departures – a hat and water are essential while waiting to board.
- Booking well ahead for July and August from Piraeus to the Cyclades is essential if you want any choice of cabin or vehicle space.
- Once you arrive in Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, the giant marble Portara gateway standing on a small islet at the entrance to the harbour is an unmissable landmark. The island offers the full range of Greek island experiences: long sandy beaches, mountain villages, ancient ruins, and a fertile interior producing excellent local cheeses and wines.
