Santorini to Paros – Ferry Essentials
- FerryHopper.com is highly recommended for purchasing Santorini to Paros ferry tickets online. Their website also provides useful information on schedules, costs, and timetables.
- Book tickets 2 to 3 months in advance.
- Most tickets (when booked through FerryHopper) do not need to be collected in advance as paper tickets, being e-tickets instead.
- If an online ticket purchase lacks a barcode, which typically signifies pickup is needed upon arrival in Greece. Most often this entails collecting a real ticket at the ferry port 30 to 45 minutes before departure. Don`t be concerned about retrieval – it`s simple and hassle-free and commonly in close proximity to your ferry.
- Ferries will leave from their primary morning departure harbor (normally sizable ports like Piraeus, Heraklio, and Rhodes) on schedule but will be delayed arriving and departing from all subsequent ports (e.g. Naxos). Usually becoming later as the day progresses.
- The majority of locations in Greece, like Santorini and Paros, experience public transportation worker protests annually. These worker actions can influence all modes of transit, including buses, trains, ferries, flights, and taxis. During protests no buses run, no ferries depart, and only a limited number of trains and flights leave on schedule or at all; taxis tend to be the mode of transport least disrupted. While protests can happen at any time, there is consistently a huge worker action on May 1. Do not book any ferries, flights, or trains for that date.
