Sikinos Island, Greece
Although geographically close to one another, the frequency of ferries between Paros and Sikinos is not as high as you might think.
This is because Sikinos is a much different island than Paros.
It's far smaller, has a population of just 300, and tourism is much lower key.
In fact, it's the perfect Greek island getaway to visit after the hustle and bustle of Paros!
How to get from Paros to Sikinos
The only way to travel from Paros to Sikinos is to take a ferry.
Blue Star Ferries and SeaJets have both served this route in recent seasons (in some years Saos).
These are seasonal offerings, which means that during the summer you might find 2 or 3 ferries per week. During the off season, there may only be one ferry every week or so.

An important note to make: As this is a minor ferry route, you may not find listings scheduled for the summer until as late as April. You just need to keep trying at Ferryscanner to see if there are any updates.

SeaJets Paros Sikinos Ferries
During the tourist season, SeaJets have also run services from Paros to Sikinos.
The frequency of these ferries varies from season to season.
Due to the route they take which involves stopping at other islands, the SeaJets sailing has been the slower of the two.
Their sailing to Sikinos from Paros island has taken longer, and cost more, than the Blue Star crossing.
Still, it's worth considering as perhaps they travel from Paros to Sikinos on a day that is more convenient for you.
