Lavrio to Paros Route Map
Hellenic Seaways' Artemis links Lavrio with Paros in around eight hours, working its way through the Cyclades with several calls en route. It is a conventional ferry, so the pace is steady and the fare low, with tickets starting around €20. Anyone wanting speed will do better on the fast services out of Piraeus or Rafina.
Paros is one of the busiest hubs in the Cyclades and the ferry arrives at Parikia, the main town, where the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, one of the oldest churches still standing in Greece, is a short walk from the quay. The island runs to sandy beaches, serious windsurfing and kitesurfing around the Naoussa side, and a nightlife scene concentrated in Naoussa while Parikia stays a little more workaday.
This sailing operates about once a week, so it is worth checking against the far denser schedule from the main Athens ports. Current departures and fares are listed below. From Parikia there are frequent onward links to Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini and Antiparos, the last of these via the short crossing from Pounta on the west coast.

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.
Can you rent a car at Lavrio port?
Rental desks at Lavrio itself are scarce; the port is a working harbour about 60km southeast of Athens and roughly 40km from Athens airport, a 30-40 minute drive. Most people picking up a car for a Cycladic ferry from here collect it at the airport or in Athens beforehand, or arrange supplier delivery to the port; compare options at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Lavrio to Paros ferry
- Winter sailings are less frequent but rarely sell out for foot passengers; vehicles may be more restricted due to reduced sailing frequency.
- If you are connecting to another ferry on the same day, check whether both depart from the same area of the port to gauge how much walking time you need.
- In Paros, the charming fishing village of Naoussa on the north coast is the best place to eat fresh seafood at family-run waterfront tavernas. The main town of Parikia has an impressive Byzantine cathedral built from the marble of ancient temples, and the island's beaches – particularly Kolymbithres with its sculpted granite rocks – are among the most striking in the Cyclades.
