Paros → Mykonos

The Paros to Mykonos direction shares the same five sailings a day, seasonal schedule, but travellers here are typically timing a Mykonos hotel check-in or evening plans rather than a flight. Fast crossing 40 minutes, conventional 1h30m. High wind risk means this stretch of open water between the islands cancels easily in a strong meltemi, so book an earlier sailing if the evening matters, since a later one is the more likely to be cut.

At the port

Boats leave Parikia, in the centre of Paros town, and dock at Mykonos's New Port in Tourlos, 3km from Chora, with taxis waiting at most arrivals. Check in 40 minutes ahead for the SeaJets or Golden Star Ferries fast option; the Blue Star Ferries conventional boat is slower but carries vehicles. Given the high wind rating on this crossing, keep an eye on the forecast rather than assuming the sailing will run as booked.
