About the Paros – Naxos crossing
The Greek ports of Paros and Naxos are separated by a short stretch of the Aegean Sea. Four operators – Blue Star Ferries, Fast Ferries, Golden Star Ferries, and SeaJets – currently provide up to 13 daily sailings on this domestic route. Crossing times vary by vessel, ranging from 25 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes. Fares begin at €5.50, though this price changes based on seasonality and vehicle transport.
Timetable and Operators
This Cycladic island connection operates every day. Departures are scheduled throughout the day, with the first boat leaving at 11:10 and the final service at 23:15. The fleet on the route includes vessels such as Blue Star, Blue Star Delos, and Champion Jet. Both Blue Star Ferries and SeaJets are major operators in the Greek islands ferry network.
Cyclades Network Connection
This route forms a key link within the Cyclades island group. From Paros, passengers can also connect directly to Heraklion in Crete and Santorini. Naxos offers onward ferry services to those same ports, as well as to Ios, Irakleia, and Mykonos. The high frequency of sailings reflects its role as a primary inter-island transport artery for both residents and visitors moving between the central Cyclades.
Your destination
About Naxos
Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades and the most central, which makes it unusual among Greek islands: you can reach it up to seven times a day from Piraeus, and once there, Mykonos is 35 minutes away and Santorini a little over an hour. The ferry decision is not really where to go but which kind of boat — the fast craft that saves two hours, or the conventional ship that still sails when the wind gets up.
