Why take a ferry from Ios to Paros ?

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

It's much less boring than on a plane
If we compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to go from Ios to Paros. But, it is not always pleasant to stay tied to your seat for long hours.

You will never have so much freedom and entertainment during a flight!
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 Hellenic Seaways, Golden Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries ferry in Ios, 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 Paros. However, we recommend that you ask the Hellenic Seaways, 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.
Enjoy the fresh sea air
It has been proven that sea air has many health benefits. In Ios, as soon as you leave the port, take a walk on the deck of the Hellenic Seaways, Golden Star Ferries, Sea Jets, Blue Star Ferries, ANEK Lines or Cyclades Fast Ferries boat and enjoy the sea spray and the invigorating sea air enriched with oxygen: a real thalasso cure and very effective for ventilating the lungs!
