Why travel by ferry from Santorini to Paros?

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

It's much less boring than on a plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Santorini to Paros. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Santorini Paros 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.
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 Santorini, 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 Paros. 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.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
There is no longer any doubt that sea air has many health benefits. During the Santorini-Paros crossing, access the outside areas of the Minoan Lines, Golden Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries ship to take a deep breath of air. The fresh sea air and the waves that rock the ferry will soothe you instantly. You'll arrive in Paros feeling perfectly zen and energised.
