Ferry from Pounda (Paros) to Antiparos

Pounda to Antiparos is the short shuttle across the strait, scheduled at about ten minutes. Antiparos-Paros Lines runs small landing-craft style ferries with a bow ramp, taking cars, motorbikes, bicycles and foot passengers straight on and off. It is the quickest and most frequent way over, and the crossing is short enough that most people stay in their vehicle or stand at the rail.

The boat arrives at the main town of Antiparos, so there is no transfer at the far end. The Venetian kastro sits in the middle of the village lanes, with tavernas, shops and rooms around it, and the beaches are a short walk or bus ride away. The Antiparos Cave, in the hills inland, is the island's best-known sight.

This is a near-constant service, running back and forth many times a day from early until late in season, with reduced hours through the winter. Current times and fares are shown in the timetable below. Tickets are usually bought at the quay rather than in advance, and there is little point booking ahead.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car on Antiparos?

Not really, for most visitors. Antiparos town and its nearest beaches are walkable, and many people get around on foot or by bike. A car only earns its keep if you want to reach quieter spots such as Agios Georgios in the south, and roads are narrow with limited parking. Compare rates at Discover Cars.
