The last known sailing on this route was on 12 October 2026. No timetable beyond that date has been published yet.

These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.

Paros to Rafina takes anywhere from about three and a half hours to well over eight, depending on which boat and how many islands it calls at. Fast Ferries, Golden Star Ferries and Seajets all work the line with vessels including the Fast Ferry Andros, Andros Queen, Ekaterini P and Golden Princess. The quicker sailings are worth seeking out, as the long ones tour a good part of the western Cyclades on the way.

Rafina is Attica's second port, a compact working harbour on the east coast with the town centre right behind it. It is less overwhelming than Piraeus, and you can walk from the ferry to a cafe in a couple of minutes. Its main advantage is position: it sits close to Athens airport and is well served by bus, which suits travellers flying straight out.

Between the three operators there are several sailings a day through the season. Exact departure times, vessels and current fares are listed in the timetable below. Rafina is also the usual gateway for Andros and Tinos, so it works well if you are combining those islands with Paros.
