Sikinos to Paros Route Map
Hellenic Seaways links Sikinos with Paros on the Artemis, a small conventional ferry, and the passage takes around four hours. The ship works its way north through the Cyclades, calling at other islands on the way, which is what stretches the time. There is deck space and a simple bar on board, and vehicles are carried.
Paros is one of the big hub islands of the central Aegean, and ferries arrive at Parikia, the main port and 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. Beyond Parikia the island offers sandy beaches, windsurfing and kitesurfing on the Naoussa side, and a lively summer scene in Naoussa itself.
Sailings on this route are rare, around once a week, so check the timetable below carefully; fares and journey times are listed there, with tickets usually starting around seven euros. Once on Paros you have one of the densest ferry networks in the Cyclades, including the short crossing from Pounta over 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.
Do you need to rent a car on Sikinos?
Probably not. Sikinos has just two settlements, the port at Alopronia and Chora 3.5km uphill, linked by an hourly bus. Only two small rental outfits operate on the island, with stock limited in August, so most visitors get by on foot and the bus. If you want the freedom, check Discover Cars.

Tips for the Sikinos to Paros ferry
- On longer crossings, locate the indoor seating areas first in case weather or wind forces you inside partway through the journey.
- Bring a portable power bank rated at least 10,000 mAh; charging sockets on ferries are not always reliable, and island power cuts are not unheard of.
- Greek ferries do not impose a luggage limit for foot passengers – you can bring as much as you can physically carry, but you must manage it yourself.
- Lightning storms are possible in spring and autumn; they are usually short-lived and rarely affect ferry operations, but can cause brief delays at loading.
- 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.
