Ferry from Antiparos to Pounda (Paros)

Antiparos to Pounda is the shuttle across the narrow strait to Paros, timetabled at ten to twenty minutes depending on conditions and the boat on duty. Antiparos-Paros Lines runs small open landing-craft style ferries that take cars, bikes and foot passengers, loading and unloading straight off the ramp. It is a short, practical crossing rather than a scenic voyage, though the view back to the Antiparos waterfront is a good one.

Pounda is not a town. It is a functional ferry point on the west coast of Paros with a quay, a car park and little else, existing almost entirely to serve this crossing. Buses and taxis meet the boats for the run into Parikia or across to Naoussa, and drivers simply carry on up the road.

This is one of the most frequent services in Greece, running back and forth many times a day from early morning until late, with reduced hours in winter. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Tickets are normally bought at the quayside rather than online, and there is rarely any need to book ahead.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car on Antiparos?

Not really, for most visitors. Antiparos town and its nearest beaches are walkable, and many people get around on foot or by bike. A car only earns its keep if you want to reach quieter spots such as Agios Georgios in the south, and roads are narrow with limited parking. Compare rates at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Antiparos to Pounda ferry

• Keep your passport, wallet, and phone in a small bag you keep with you at all times, not in your main luggage stowed in the overhead rack.
• The flat bow (prow) area of a large ferry is usually accessible and offers outstanding forward views – one of the best spots to stand during harbour entry.
• Some seasonal ferry routes only operate from late May to late September or early October – check whether your route is year-round before booking.
