The ferry Artemis arriving in Paros

The route from Milos to Paros is served by both conventional and high speed/catamaran vessels.
High-speed vessels are smaller and allow passengers to reach their destinations faster. Conventional ferries are larger and slower, but they also offer cheaper tickets.
Moreover, conventional ferries have big garages and can transport many vehicles. On the other hand, not all high-speed vessels have a garage and, those that do, only have a limited vehicle capacity.
Lastly, high-speed ferries are affected by bad weather conditions more easily, so delays sometimes occur.

The distance between Milos and Paros is 40 nautical miles (46 miles or 74 kilometers).
The duration of the trip is 1 hour and 50 minutes for a high-speed vessel and 5 hours and 20 minutes for a conventional ferry.
The fastest ferries are Super Jet and Super Jet 2 by Seajets.

A standard ticket costs between '12' 'EUR' (12 euros) and '79.7' 'EUR' (79.7 euros), while the price of a business-class/VIP ticket amounts to '89.7' 'EUR' (89.7 euros).
Some categories of passengers, including students, ISIC card holders, children under the age of 10, disabled passengers and families with more than 3 children, might be eligible for ticket discounts, which may amount to 50%. Also, most companies allow babies and toddlers to travel for free.

We are here to handle anything that might come up regarding your ferry trip.

Standard/economy seats are the most popular and affordable option. In conventional ferries, these seats are situated on the deck or in internal lounges and they are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. Therefore, in order to get a comfortable one, we recommend boarding the ferry as soon as possible.
Another option is the air-type seats, which are located in separate lounges. They are numbered, more comfortable, and the most affordable option among the seats you can reserve. For luxury travel, there are also Business/VIP seats, which are situated in a separate lounge and are more expensive.
In high-speed ferries, there are only numbered seats, so a standard ticket corresponds to an air-type seat.

Adamantas, the main port of Milos

All ferries depart from Adamas Port, which is situated around 4 km from Plaka (the island's capital). It is a small port, so spotting your ferry is easy.

Ferries bound for Paros arrive at Parikia Port, the main port of Paros. The port is located right at the island's capital.

Both islands are popular among Greeks and foreigners alike. The high number of visitors causes traffic around the port, so we strongly recommend being there at least 1 hour before the scheduled departure time.

Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry. If you wish, though, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if available).
It is highly recommended that you leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.

In order to take your car or motorbike to Paros, you need to purchase a vehicle ticket.
Drivers should be at the port 1 to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, entrance to the garage is not allowed during the crossing.
Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.

Even though there is an airport on both Milos and Paros, there are no direct flights between the two islands, as these airports are only connected to Athens. However, Santorini and Mykonos have international airports receiving direct flights from several European countries, so you could fly to one of the islands and take the ferry to Paros from there.

Alternatively, you can fly to Athens and then take the ferry from Athens to Paros.
