About the Paros – Santorini crossing
The Paros to Santorini ferry is one of the busiest hops in the Cyclades, connecting Paros with Santorini in as little as 1 hour 30 minutes by high-speed ferry. The route is served by Blue Star Ferries, SeaJets and Golden Star Ferries, with a mix of fast catamarans and conventional ships.
Fast ferry or conventional ship?
High-speed catamarans make the crossing in around 90 minutes but cost more and are passenger-focused; conventional Blue Star ships take a little longer, ride more smoothly in wind and carry vehicles at lower fares. In peak season there are several departures a day, mostly clustered around midday and the afternoon. Confirm the live timetable above for your travel dates.
Booking and prices
Fares start around €33 one way and climb quickly in July and August, when this is one of the first Cyclades routes to sell out. Reserve early, especially if you need a vehicle space or are travelling on a fixed date.
Continuing on? Compare Santorini to Milos or the long haul from Piraeus to Santorini.
