Schinoussa to Paros Route Map
Schinoussa to Paros takes around two and a half hours on the Blue Star Naxos, the conventional ferry that works the Small Cyclades line towards Piraeus. It is a comfortable, unhurried crossing with proper decks and a canteen, and it normally calls at Naxos on the way. Vehicles are carried, so this is the practical option if you are moving a car or a bike.
Paros is one of the busiest hubs in the Cyclades and the ferry ties up at Parikia, right beside the town. The Panagia Ekatontapiliani, the Church of a Hundred Doors and one of the oldest surviving churches in Greece, is a short walk from the quay. Buses leave the harbour for Naoussa and the beaches, and ticket agents, car hire and rooms are all clustered around the waterfront.
The service runs only a few times a fortnight, so it is worth checking dates carefully before committing. Current departures and fares are listed in the timetable below. From Parikia there are frequent onward boats to Piraeus, Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini and the short shuttle across to Antiparos.

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.

- At the destination port, the gangway opens as soon as the vessel is secured – gather your belongings before arrival so you can disembark promptly.
- 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.
