Iraklia to Paros Route Map
Iraklia to Paros is a Blue Star Ferries run on the Blue Star Naxos, taking a little over two hours with a call or two on the way west. It is a large conventional ferry with indoor lounges, a bar and plenty of deck, which is a change from the small local boats that otherwise serve Iraklia. The crossing takes you from one of the quietest islands in the Cyclades to one of the busiest.
You arrive at Parikia, the main port and town of Paros and one of the principal ferry hubs in the islands. The Panagia Ekatontapiliani, the Church of a Hundred Doors, stands a short walk from the dock and is among the oldest surviving churches in Greece. Paros is large and lively, with Naoussa in the north for beaches, watersports and evening life.
The route runs around three times a week in season. The current timetable and fares are shown below, with fares starting near €24.50. Paros gives you frequent onward links to Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini, Piraeus and Antiparos.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Paros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right by the port in Parikia, most just a couple of minutes' walk from where the ferry docks. A car earns its keep here: nowhere on Paros is more than about 30 minutes' drive away, opening up marble-quarry villages and quieter southern beaches that the KTEL bus network doesn't reach directly. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars if you'd rather not rely on the bus timetable.
