Paros to Anafi Route Map
Paros to Anafi is a long conventional crossing of around five and a half hours on the Blue Star 1, working the line that continues east beyond Santorini. It is a multi-stop sailing rather than a direct run, so expect calls at other islands along the way. The Blue Star 1 is a large ferry with lounges, deck space and a canteen, which makes the length manageable.
Anafi is a small, remote island east of Santorini and one of the least touristed in the Cyclades. The port village of Agios Nikolaos sits below the hilltop Chora, with a bus or a walk up connecting the two. Travellers come for empty beaches, isolation, and the walk out to the Monastery of Kalamiotissa perched on a dramatic rock summit at the eastern end of the island.
The service runs only twice a fortnight or so, and connections to Anafi are limited generally. Current departure times and fares are listed in the timetable below. Many travellers reach Anafi via Santorini instead, which has more frequent links, so it is worth comparing the two approaches.

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.

Tips for the Paros to Anafi ferry
- The whitewashed windmill facing the harbour is Parikia's landmark, useful for finding your way back to the terminal. Arrive at least an hour before departure in peak season, allowing extra time if you still need to buy your ticket at the port.
- The KTEL bus station for onward island travel is immediately to the right as you exit the port, making it easy to find without asking directions. Buses to Naoussa, the airport, and beaches all depart from here.
- Baggage storage is free at the KTEL bus station once you have bought your ticket, so there is no need to carry bags around Parikia while you wait for your ferry to board.
- Paros is one of the busiest Cyclades hubs, so if you are changing ferries the same day build in a buffer – delays tend to build up through the day and afternoon sailings are more likely to run late.
- Once you arrive in Anafi, you can explore the amphitheatrically built Chora, which sits on the ruins of an ancient settlement. A highlight is the hike to the Monastery of Panagia Kalamiotissa, perched on the eastern side of the island with sweeping Aegean views.
