Why take a ferry from Paros to Ios ?

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

Not to worry about the number of bags
With the train, bus or plane, a free baggage allowance is often applied and any additional baggage generates an additional cost. However, when you board a Hellenic Seaways, 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 Ios. 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.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to book a cabin for the crossing from Paros to Ios, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with bunks, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are just like real hotel rooms. If their use is more obvious during a night crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
No need to worry about traveling with your bike
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 Paros-Ios crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Ios.
