The Journey: Santorini to Paros by SeaJets
Your trip begins with a comfortable minivan pickup from your hotel or nearby access point in Santorini, typically two hours before departure. TPO.Travel’s local partner ensures timely arrival at the port and personally hands over your SeaJets ticket.
As you board the high-speed ferry, you’ll feel the excitement build. SeaJets vessels are known for their modern design, cushioned seating, and onboard amenities. The sailing takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on the sea conditions and ferry type, and the route offers panoramic views of the Cycladic Islands.
Pro tip: Find a window seat or step onto the deck for a picture-perfect view of Santorini’s caldera fading into the horizon, followed by the serene silhouettes of islands like Ios and Naxos as you approach Paros.
Why Paros Should Be Your Next Stop
With its blend of sophistication and simplicity, Paros is a favorite for travelers looking to experience authentic Greek island charm with modern touches. From cosmopolitan towns to peaceful fishing villages, Paros is effortlessly chic without being overcrowded.
Here’s why Paros deserves a spot on your itinerary:
Cosmopolitan Ambiance in Naoussa & Parikia
Paros’s two main towns—Parikia (the port town) and Naoussa—are known for their stylish cafes, bars, and boutiques. Naoussa in particular is a photographer’s dream, with its charming harbor, luxury yachts, and rows of whitewashed alleyways glowing in bougainvillea.
Incredible Beaches
Whether you’re into windsurfing, sunbathing, or quiet swims, Paros has a beach for you. From the lively Golden Beach to the surreal rock formations of Kolymbithres, every shoreline feels like a hidden gem.
Authentic Villages
TPO.Travel offers curated tours to Lefkes, a postcard-perfect mountain village, and Marpissa, where time seems to stand still. Here, you can explore narrow cobblestone lanes, traditional homes, and panoramic island views.
Cultural Riches
Don’t miss the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, a 4th-century Byzantine church in Parikia. For history buffs, Paros offers traces of ancient Greece, Venetian fortresses, and traditional Cycladic culture.
Food, Wine, and Nightlife
The island’s gastronomy combines Aegean seafood, traditional taverna fare, and modern Mediterranean twists. By night, Paros comes alive with music bars, elegant cocktail spots, and beach clubs—especially in Naoussa, where the vibe rivals Mykonos.

Travel Tips for a Smooth Ferry Experience
To help you make the most of your journey from Santorini to Paros, the experts at TPO.Travel suggest:
1. Travel Light and Smart
While SeaJets ferries have ample luggage space, island-hopping is easiest with a carry-on or compact suitcase.
2. Be Ready for Pickup
Your transfer will arrive at your hotel around two hours before ferry departure. Have your bags packed and ready for smooth loading.
3. Stay Hydrated and Snack Smart
There are snack bars on board, but we recommend bringing a bottle of water and some snacks for the ride, especially in summer months.
4. Entertain Yourself
While the ferry offers great views, you might also want a good playlist, podcast, or travel journal for the longer leg of the journey.
5. Pre-Book Services in Paros
Paros can be busy during high season. Book your hotels, activities, and transfers in advance with TPO.Travel to secure top experiences.
