Paros to Andros Ferry

The Paros to Andros ferry crosses two of the Cyclades’ most rewarding islands — sun-bleached, whitewashed Paros in the west and the greener, more dramatic Andros to the north. Ferries run from March through to October, giving you a solid window to make the crossing in either direction.

At peak summer you can count on around 3 departures a day, so you have genuine flexibility with your schedule. In the shoulder months — spring and autumn — frequency drops to around 2 per day, still enough for most travellers to plan around comfortably.

Tips for the Paros–Andros Ferry

• The meltemi is a reliable, predictable wind – sailors and ferry operators know its pattern well. It blows hard in the afternoon but often eases overnight.
• If your ferry is cancelled, the operator is required to offer a refund or alternative sailing; head to the operator’s quayside office immediately.
• Confirmation emails sometimes contain a QR code for faster boarding – screenshotting this and zooming in before you reach the scanner saves time at the gate.
• In Andros, the elegant capital Chora rewards exploration with its cobbled lanes, neoclassical mansions, and a proud tradition of seafaring culture. Don’t miss the impressive Foros Cave near Aladinos Village, reached via a beautiful 17th-century arched bridge.
