Important note:

The ferry companies submit their schedules each Friday to the Ministry of Mercantile Marine so it’s advisable to double check the schedules couple of weeks prior to departure.

Is there any ferry from Paros to Mykonos on 18 Oct 2009?
I would like to get to Mykonos from Santorini, but there is no direct sailing. Thus, I am planning to get Paros first on 18 Oct 2009 and then go to Mykonos. Please advise.

Dear Cristina,

Thank you very much for your help, one more thing I would like to clarify whether it is the only way to get to Mykonos from Santorini on 18. Is there any alternative way?

Deeply appreciate

Frankie

@Frankie

there isn’t a direct ferry from Santorini to Mykonos on Oct 18. An alternative would be flying but the flight is via Athens (on Aegean Airlines) and adds up to 120 euros/one way, at least.

If you choose to depart from Santorini at 7 a.m. on oct 18 you have a 50 min window to catch the ferry to Mykonos. I surely hope it won’t be delayed. Maybe you could leave Santorini a day earlier and stay a night in Paros?

Thank you for your information (That is the most valuable I have ever seen in the internet world).

According to your information(http://www.greecelogue.com/ferries-from-santorini-to-paros-and-return.html), there is no ferry on 17 Oct 2009 (Sat). The sailing is only available on Wed. and Sunday. In addition, the departure time of the ferry from Santorini to Paros should be 8:30 a.m. or 7 a.m.?

Arriving to Mykonos airport at 13.20 Wednesday 12 August, WHERE do I catch the ferry from Mykonos to Paos and then WHERE from Paros to Antiparos?? And are there plenty taxis available?

@Joan: ferries depart from the port (some islands have several ports and the name of the port is always written on your ticket). There are buses and taxis in Mykonos to get from the airport to the port. I would advise to get a taxi though. Fares are standard and are printed in the stations.

@Paul & Zoe: the schedule changes each year so you need to wait to know the exact days and times.
