Ferry from Paros to Mykonos at a glance

Everything passengers ask about the ferry from Paros to Mykonos in one place. SeaJets sail the route on high-speed catamaran with air-conditioned cabins, with a crossing time of about 1 hour 40 minutes, several sailings a day in summer. Boats leave from Parikia port, Paros and arrive at Mykonos new port, Tourlos. Haqqi Tours provides the ticket, and confirms the sailing, the seats and the cost by WhatsApp before you pay.

• Route: Paros to Mykonos (about 45 km by sea)
• Operator: SeaJets
• Crossing time: about 1 hour 40 minutes
• Vessels: high-speed catamaran with air-conditioned cabins
• Frequency: several sailings a day in summer
• Departure port: Parikia port, Paros

High-speed catamarans run between Parikia and Mykonos in about forty minutes to an hour and a quarter, with several departures a day in summer and limited sailings in winter. Boats dock at the new port at Tourlos, a short drive from Mykonos town. The sea can be choppy when the summer wind blows, so morning crossings are more comfortable, and we can book private transfers at both ends.

Return ferry from Mykonos to Paros

We book the return crossing from Mykonos to Paros just as easily, typically on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Paros to Mykonos cost?

Ferry prices from Paros to Mykonos move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Paros to Mykonos: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Paros to Mykonos is usually on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our staff applies:

• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators

When you complete the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Paros to Mykonos ferry first, then the alternatives.

Timetable and season of the Paros to Mykonos ferry

Several sailings a day in summer - that is how often the ferry from Paros to Mykonos runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 1 hour 40 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for your travel date rather than a list that may be out of date.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Parikia port, Paros

The ferry from Paros to Mykonos leaves from Parikia port, Paros, in Paros - Paros is the easy-going Cycladic island of Naoussa's fishing harbour, Parikia and the golden beaches. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: Ferries from Piraeus take about three to four hours, or two and a half by fast ferry, and Naxos is under an hour away; short flights link Paros Airport with Athens. Buses connect Parikia with Naoussa, Lefkes and the beaches, and the car ferry from Pounta crosses to Antiparos, but a private car is easiest with luggage.

• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the shipping line's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Parikia port, Paros; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Paros to the port on request

Arrival: Mykonos new port, Tourlos

The ferry docks at Mykonos new port, Tourlos - Mykonos is the glamorous Cycladic island of windmills, Little Venice, beach clubs and the sacred island of Delos. From the pier you are minutes from taxis, buses and the town itself. Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from the port to your accommodation in Mykonos with a driver waiting at the exit, which for a family with bags is the easiest way to finish the Paros to Mykonos crossing.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

On board the Paros to Mykonos ferry: seats, cabins and luggage

The ship makes the difference on this route: the conventional ferry has more space, open decks and a steadier ride; the high-speed boat has airline seating and gets you there faster. Children have their own fares, luggage travels free within limits, and pets are accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels.

• Children's fares by age; infants normally free
• Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - let us know if one is travelling
• Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths

Things to do in Mykonos after the ferry

Mykonos is the glamorous Cycladic island of windmills, Little Venice, beach clubs and the sacred island of Delos. Arriving by sea puts you in the middle of it: Delos, the UNESCO site, the Armenistis lighthouse, the Panagia Tourliani monastery, Little Venice and the Kato Mili windmills are all reachable from Mykonos new port, Tourlos. For the first meal, try Greek salad with barley rusks, spinach and cheese pies and kopanisti, spicy local cheese.

If you want the days in Mykonos organised - a driver, a boat trip, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it through WhatsApp.

Best time to take the ferry from Paros to Mykonos

The ferry from Paros to Mykonos runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. Late May to June and September to early October are warm and less crowded; July and August are the busiest months, with heavy traffic between 5 and 8 pm and a strong meltemi wind that can stop boats to Delos; most businesses close from November to April. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

Ferry or flight from Paros to Mykonos?

For most travellers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Paros and lands you in Mykonos itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours can provide flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.
