Why travel by ferry from Paros to Santorini?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Paros to Santorini ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Santorini. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Paros to Santorini is an ideal way to travel.

So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. However, when you board a Minoan Lines, Golden Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries ferry in Paros, you are free to take as much luggage as you like, as long as it is contained in your vehicle. If you are travelling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements throughout the journey to Santorini. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of Minoan Lines, Golden Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally speaking, to get to Santorini or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Paros Santorini ferry journey with Cyclades Fast Ferries, ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Golden Star Ferries or Minoan Lines, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Paros to Santorini by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travellers beds, bathrooms and, in some suites, portholes and balconies. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
