Why take a ferry from Heraklion to Paros ?

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

Transporting your bike is not a problem
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the huge garage of the boat. You leave it there for the duration of the Heraklion-Paros crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Paros.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If we compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to go from Heraklion to Paros. But you are stuck in your seat, tied down by your seatbelt and the opportunities to move around are almost nil. During the Heraklion Paros ferry trip with Sea Jets, Minoan Lines, ANEK Lines, Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways or Cyclades Fast Ferries, there are countless opportunities for entertainment with restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... You will never have so much freedom and entertainment during a flight!
To finally take the time to travel
It is well known that we live in a society where everything must go fast, always faster. However, you will appreciate setting sail from Heraklion on a Cyclades Fast Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines, Minoan Lines or Sea Jets ferry that will travel the 121 mi to Paros at less than 40km/h. All ships are equipped with lounges, restaurants, promenade decks, and sometimes much more... You may even find your Heraklion-Paros crossing a little too short!
