Useful Resources for Your Greek Island Trip

The last known sailing on this route was on 31 August 2026.

No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.

Historically, this route ran about 0.3 sailings a day in July 2026, about 0.4 sailings a day in August 2026.

Anafi to Paros runs north through the Cyclades on the Blue Star 1, operated by Blue Star Ferries, and takes around five and a quarter hours. The ship generally calls at Santorini, Ios and Naxos along the way, so it is a leisurely progression up the island chain rather than a direct run. Conventional ferry, with deck space and a saloon for the longer stretches.

Paros is one of the main hubs of the Cyclades, and ferries dock at Parikia, the principal town, where the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, one of the oldest surviving churches in Greece, sits a short walk from the quay. Parikia keeps a more everyday feel than Naoussa on the north coast, which has the busier bars and the windsurfing and kitesurfing beaches. Sandy beaches ring most of the island.

Sailings run a couple of times a week, with the current timetable and fares shown in the table below. Fares start around thirty-two euros. Paros connects onward to Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini, Piraeus and Antiparos, the last via the short crossing from Pounta.
