Why take a ferry from Paros to Santorini ?

Whether you're travelling solo, with a partner 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 Paros to Santorini ferry is an ideal way to travel.

Not to worry about the number of bags
One piece of luggage is free, all the others must be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transportation, 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 traveling without a car, then you will be restricted in your movements all the way to Santorini. However, we recommend that you ask the Minoan Lines, Golden Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries crew, as luggage lockers are often available for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally, 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 trip with Cyclades Fast Ferries, ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Golden Star Ferries or Minoan Lines, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never give you so many services during the trip.
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Paros to Santorini, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Like real hotel rooms, they offer travelers beds, bathrooms and, for 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.
