Ferries to Paros from Syros

The quicker boat from Syros going to Paros takes around 1 hour. The slowest ferry boat sailing to Paros from Syros island takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes. 

There may be a random boat or two that takes longer than this, but generally speaking, the travel time between these two Cyclades islands is less than one and a half hours.

My preference is to use the Blue Star Ferries boats whenever possible. This is because they are larger vessels, and I find they sail more smoothly when the sea is rough. (See Meltemi winds for why!). Blue Star Ferries also have the best price for passengers and cars.

If there is a significant difference between how long the ferry journey takes, you can expect the quicker boat to be more expensive. I've seen tickets start from as low as 6.70 Euro in the off-season. You should probably allow around 19 Euro during the summer, 

The simplest place to look at schedules for Greek ferries and for up to date prices on the dates you want to travel is at the Ferryhopper website.

Paros Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips for planning an itinerary and visiting the Greek island of Paros:

  • Ferry services depart from the port at Ermoupoli in Syros  and you should be at the ferry port at least a half an hour before departure.


  • For hotels in Paros, I recommend checking out my guide on where to stay on Paros. They have a great choice of apartments in Paros and areas to consider staying include Chrissi Akti, Piso Livadi, Naousa, Parikia, and Aliki. If you are traveling to Paros in the tourist season, I advise reserving where to stay in Paros a month or so in advance.

  • When you explore the island, spend time on some of the top rated beaches in Paros: Pounda, Agia Irini, Logaras, Santa Maria, Monastiri, Chrissi Akti, and Kolymbithres.


  • Ferryhopper is perhaps the easiest site to use when it comes to searching for ferry routes and booking Ferry tickets online. I think it's better that you book your Syros to Paros ferry tickets in advance, especially during the the high season.
