The Mykonos to Paros ferry is one of the most useful short hops in the Cyclades, linking two of Greece’s most-visited islands across a stretch of Aegean that rarely takes more than a couple of hours to cross. Whether you’re leaving the glamour of Mykonos behind or heading there from Paros, this route runs daily throughout the season and gives you real flexibility when planning your island circuit. Heading the other way, the Paros to Mykonos ferry covers the same crossing in reverse.
At peak summer you can choose from up to 10 departures a day, so missing a boat is rarely a disaster. Shoulder season brings a more modest 6 departures daily, and in March and November services thin out considerably — worth bearing in mind if you’re travelling at the edges of the season.

Tips for the Mykonos–Paros Ferry
- Most scheduled ferries – including those to Piraeus, Rafina, Santorini and Naxos – dock at the New Port at Tourlos, roughly 3km north of town, not the Old Port in Mykonos Town itself; check your ticket before heading out.
- During July and August arrive at the New Port at least an hour before departure – ferries here fill quickly, queues for ticket collection build fast, and boarding gates close without much warning.
- A sea bus links the New Port at Tourlos with the Old Port near town in about eight minutes, running regularly through the day; it carries luggage, so it's a reliable option if a taxi isn't available.
- Taxis are scarce on Mykonos and demand regularly outstrips supply at the port, especially in high season, so budget extra time or use the public bus or sea bus into town instead of relying on finding one.
- In Paros, the charming fishing village of Naoussa on the north coast is the best place to eat fresh seafood at family-run waterfront tavernas. The main town of Parikia has an impressive Byzantine cathedral built from the marble of ancient temples, and the island's beaches – particularly Kolymbithres with its sculpted granite rocks – are among the most striking in the Cyclades.

Can you rent a car in Paros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right by the port in Parikia, most just a couple of minutes' walk from where the ferry docks. A car earns its keep here: nowhere on Paros is more than about 30 minutes' drive away, opening up marble-quarry villages and quieter southern beaches that the KTEL bus network doesn't reach directly. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars if you'd rather not rely on the bus timetable.
Is it worth hiring a car on Mykonos?
Worth it if you plan to reach beaches like Elia or Kalafatis and the far side of the island, since buses run less often outside town. New Port is about 3km from Chora, roughly a 13-minute drive, and Chora itself is pedestrian-only so you park on the edge and walk in. Quad bikes are a popular alternative. Compare rental options at Discover Cars.
