travel

Antiparos has no airport, so every route goes through Paros first.

option 1

Fly to Mykonos (quickest in July).

In summer there are direct flights to Mykonos from both London and Paris. From there, fast ferries reach Paros in 35–45 minutes, about three times a day in July.

option 2

Fly to Athens (most flights, most flexibility).

Direct flights leave all day from London (about 3h45) and Paris (about 3h15). From Athens, you can:

Fly on to Paros in about 40 minutes, the easiest choice with luggage
Take a ferry from Rafina, the closest port to the airport (about 3.5 hours), or from Piraeus (3h40 to 5h30)

option 3

Fly to Santorini.

Summer flights to Santorini are also direct, and ferries to Paros take about 2 hours.

Then cross to Antiparos. From Pounta on Paros, a small car ferry crosses in 7 minutes, every 20–30 minutes until after midnight. From Parikia, Paros’s main port, a passenger boat crosses in about 30 minutes, roughly every hour from 10am to 7:30pm. Neither needs booking. Bring cash for the Pounta ferry.

Planning tip: July is peak season, so book your flights and Greek ferry together and leave a few hours between them in case of delays. The summer meltemi winds can slow fast ferries, so an afternoon connection is safer than a tight one.
