Paros to Koufonisi Route Map
Paros to Koufonisi takes anything from about an hour and ten minutes to nearly four hours, depending on whether you are on a Seajets high-speed craft or the conventional Blue Star Naxos. Seajets works the route with the Champions League Jet 1, Super Jet 2 and Superjet, while Blue Star takes the slower island-stopping line through Naxos. Both carry vehicles, though a car is rarely needed on an island this size.
Koufonisi is the most popular of the Small Cyclades in summer, known for shallow turquoise water and beaches such as Pori and Fanos. The harbour sits right at the main village, so arrival is a matter of walking off the ramp and into town. Neighbouring Kato Koufonisi across the channel is uninhabited and reached by small local boats.
There are usually several departures a day in season across the two operators, with the pattern reduced sharply out of summer. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Koufonisi sits on the Naxos to Amorgos line, which makes it easy to combine with Schinoussa, Iraklia and Amorgos on the same trip.

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 Koufonisi 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.
- If you are booking for a large group, call the operator or use their group booking form – online booking systems sometimes cap the number of tickets per transaction.
