Thinking about taking the ferry from Paros to Antiparos?

Matthew and I spent part of our honeymoon in Paros. We were looking for things to do around the island and saw that one of the best things to do was to go to another island nearby – Antiparos!

Antiparos is only a 7-minute (yes, maybe even less to be honest) ferry ride from Paros. The island is pretty small but it’s worth visiting for a day trip or a weekend trip!

You can visit the famous cave that’s 500 meters deep, lay on any of the beautiful beaches near town and you’ll hear from the locals about how Tom Hanks has a house in Antiparos! It must be good right?!

Taking the ferry from Paros to Antiparos isn’t as difficult as you think. In this blog post, we’re going to share all the details about which port to depart from, how much a ferry ticket costs, the schedule and so much more!

Here’s all the details on how to catch the ferry from Paros to Antiparos.

Is Antiparos Worth Visiting?

Where Is Antiparos Located?

Antiparos is an island located only about 9 kilometers from Paros.

antiparos location

It’s really not that far from Paros as it only takes a 7-minute ferry ride to reach the island of Antiparos.

Ferry Paros Antiparos – All You Need To Know

Antiparos is famous for its deep cave, beautiful beaches and funny enough – the locals love to boast that Tom Hanks has a house/villa on Antiparos.

The island isn’t as developed and that’s why we definitely recommend visiting Antiparos but staying in Paros. After visiting all the major sites, all there is left to do is chill on the beach.
town of antiparos

This makes Antiparos the perfect day trip for tourists visiting the stunning island of Paros. Here’s everything you need to know about visiting Antiparos.

How Long Is The Ferry From Paros To Antiparos?

The ferry from Paros to Antiparos takes only about 7 minutes.

It’s short and sweet! We were so excited to get on and wished it was a little longer lol. When you take the ferry, you can see Antiparos the whole time if you face it that way. There are plenty of seats at the top of the ferry the middle section also has seats. We went to the top for the views since it’s only a few minutes! Your car and motorbike will be just fine.

seats on the ferry

During the summer season, there will be more people traveling from Paros to Antiparos. This means that you might have to wait to catch the ferry especially if you want to take your car with you. They are pretty frequent though, you will eventually get on your way to Antiparos!

Matthew and I went in October and there were barely any other people on the ferry with us! I think it’s one of the best times to visit Greece, to be honest.

Where To Catch The Ferry?

When you’re trying to take the ferry from Paros to Antiparos, the best port to depart from is Pounta. Once you look at the map, you can see exactly why! The ferry basically goes in a straight line from Pounta to Antiparos.

port of pounta location

The town of Pounta isn’t very big and it’s easy enough to arrive by car or by motorbike like us. On Google Maps, simply type in Port of Pounta and go all the way to the end for the ferry.

You can depart from the main port, Parikia now but it takes longer and it’s less frequent than the ferry from Pounta. The Pounta port is definitely the best, fastest port to get you there in literally 7 minutes!

Antiparos Ferry Timetable

The ferry schedule from Paros to Antiparos is fairly frequent – every 30 minutes or so. During peak season (summer months), you can expect it to be a little more frequent and during low season, make sure to double-check the schedule.

The timetable also depends on where you’re departing from. You can either go from Pounta to Antiparos or Parikia to Antiparos. The Pounta ferry is faster and runs much more frequently!

antiparos port

The ferry Paros Antiparos runs daily Monday – Sunday, as long as the wind and weather allow it.

The timetable for the ferry from Pounta to Antiparos starts at 7:15am till 11:30pm.

The ferry schedule from Parikia to Antiparos is very infrequent. The ferry from Parikia to Antiparos starts at 10:05am till 6:30pm. There’s no rhythm or rhyme as to when it runs (hourly vs. half-hourly). Just check the Parikia to Paros timetable here for the exact timings.

If you want the exact timings depending on the specific dates (it change in Greece by the week sometimes), check out this website for the latest timetable.

Paros To Antiparos Ferry Prices

What does a 7-minute ferry from Paros to Antiparos cost? Only €2 per person, one-way!

cashier on ferry

I believe they only offer one-way tickets and it’s the same price. Most times, you will pay as you board the ferry – there isn’t really a kiosk with a cashier waiting for you. You just say how many tickets you want and pay the ferry people directly. You can’t book online or in advance!

Remember:You can only pay in cash and in Euros. They *do not* accept credit/debit cards.

Can You Take A Car or Motorbike On The Ferry to Antiparos?

Want to take your car or scooter with you? You absolutely can! We drove our scooter from Naoussa to Pounta and hoped we could take it with us – there were no issues with that!

motorbike on ferry

We highly recommend bringing your car or motorbike because it’s not easy to get around the island without it. We took our motorbike onboard and it only cost us €2. This gives you more freedom to roam around and see all you want as the buses in Antiparos (if any) are infrequent!

The cost of taking your car onboard will be €7.5 and a scooter only costs €2.

3x Cool Things To Do In Antiparos For A Day Trip

You’ve made it to Antiparos! What now?!

Well… there are quite a few things to do while you’re on this beautiful island. Matthew and I only spent a day touring around with our scooter and it was fantastic!

Here are 3 cool things to do in Antiparos in a day:

1. Visit the Cave of Antiparos

The Cave of Antiparos is a top-rated activity on this Greek island. Why?

It’s famously known for having the oldest stalagmite in the world (42 million years old, they say). Visiting this cafe is once in a lifetime experience because of how old it is, how well preserved and how far down you can go. In fact, a lot of people that are sensitive to air pressure might not want to wander much further down than the upper section.

cave of antiparos

The entrance is only €6 and it’s more than worth it! I bet you won’t find a better cave in all of Greece. If you visit during the summer, it will be a nice cool change of weather inside the cave dropping down to 16°-17°C.

antiparos cave price

Prepare to get some walking down while visiting the Cave of Antiparos because there are about 400 steps down (which you eventually have to go back up). We recommend bringing your own water and snacks as there isn’t a cafe or kiosk up there.

views from antiparos cave

If you’re taking a scooter you might struggle to get to the caves. It’s very high up the mountains and we had maybe a 70cc scooter which took us quite a while to get to the top lol!

Note:The cave isn’t open during the low season. We showed up and missed it only by a few days which sucked! It’s only open Monday – Sunday from 10am to 3:30pm throughout the year (except for low season).

2. Visit The Beaches Around Antiparos

There are plenty of beaches all across the island. Matthew and I visited one nearby the port just before we left to go back to Paros. Here are some of the most popular beaches to enjoy in Antiparos:

antiparos naturist beach

  • Antiparos naturist beach (although can be a nude beach, we found most people clothes including us)
  • Paralia Panagia Beach
  • Paralia Sifneiko Beach

The water is super clear but it was way too cold for our liking to get in for a swim. When we went in mid-October, there were barely any people but I’m sure in peak season there’s a bit more of a crowd.

3. Explore Antiparos Town

You don’t need more than a day to explore this Greek island but if you want some peace and quiet – it could be a great place for a weekend trip!

There are a couple of restaurants you can visit although the restaurants in Paros were much better, in our opinion. You can sit by the harbor and sip on a coffee, and watch the ferry make the trip across the two islands.

antiparos town

The town isn’t very big so you can easily walk around every little corner which is so much fun in Greece. You might see some beautiful bougainvillea against the famous white houses and there are plenty of spots to take photos. It’ll probably only take you about a half hour to an hour to explore the entire downtown area.

Is Antiparos Worth Visiting?

Yes, if you’re staying in Paros it’s a worthwhile trip!

The ferry from Paros to Antiparos is not even difficult to figure out and manage. Once you get to the Pounta port, hop on the next ferry, pay €2 and you’re off for the day!

Antiparos island is famous for its deep cave that you can go down about 100 meters and see all the beautiful stalagmites. There are plenty of beaches to relax and enjoy the sound of the ocean. It’s the perfect day trip from Paros!

The weather in Europe started to get colder in October and if you know us, you’ll know we chase the sunshine ☀️⁣
⁣
The best part is that we were joining a coliving space with some friends we made back in Zagreb! We spent an awesome month together - exploring the country, getting work done together and getting to know each other better!⁣
⁣
We love coliving because you get to have an instant community as soon as you land. A nomadic life gets lonely (yes, even as a couple) and coliving spaces usually create great communities with like-minded people!⁣
⁣
⁣
@tohani_coliving was especially great at creating events for everyone. During our first week, we had a community design meeting to discuss and plan the kind of things we wanted to do together. I'll share more about our experience on coliving soon ✌️⁣

Is Skopje, North Macedonia on your destination lis Is Skopje, North Macedonia on your destination list? 🇲🇰⁣
⁣
On our Europe tour, we decided to make Skopje home for a few weeks! One of the main reason is because I needed to renew my passport which is much faster outside the country.⁣
⁣
Other than that, we didn’t really know what to expect. There weren't many blogs or videos about being digital nomads here. We could only find 1 coworking space in the area but there were plenty of cafes to visit! There’s a huge cafe culture which is always nice.⁣
⁣
We had a really nice, modern, comfortable apartment in Skopje for $580 USD which was 5 minutes walking from the city center. The cost of living is pretty affordable and it’s very safe! ⁣
⁣
If you’re looking for a city to get some work done, explore the surrounding destinations and establish some routine or even simply go to the BEST gym I've ever been to (@fit_in_performance) - Skopje could be that place for you!⁣
⁣
Would you visit Skopje, North Macedonia as a digital nomad?⁣

Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destinat Lisbon, Portugal is the top digital nomad destination in Europe! 🇵🇹Why?⁣
⁣
One word: community!⁣
⁣
According to some digital nomad statistics, loneliness is the #1 reason people leave this lifestyle. When you’re traveling alone (or even as a couple), you easily feel all alone. Thankfully, the digital nomad community is very strong, open and welcoming!⁣
⁣
Lisbon is also a popular spot because of the fast wifi (we had speeds of 500+ Mbps), endless coworking options and a relatively affordable cost of living (except the rising rental prices, of course let's be real). ⁣
⁣
Our month in this wonderful city wasn’t long enough! It’s got all the simple things we love:⁣
 ☕ specialty coffee⁣
🍷 delicious food & wine⁣
🥑 bustling brunch scene and ⁣
👯 friendly people & community⁣
⁣
We can easily see why digital nomads keep coming back to this city and we hope we can explore more of Portugal (Porto, Algrave, etc).⁣
⁣
Have you been a digital nomad in Lisbon before? What were your thoughts?⁣

⁣
Zagreb, Croatia has been on our minds for a while. While most people think of Split or Dubrovnik, we wanted to visit the capital and see what it’s really like for digital nomads.⁣
⁣
These are some things that we think of before choosing a destination:⁣
- Is there an active digital nomad community?⁣
- What’s the wifi speeds like?⁣
- Are there good coworking spaces?⁣
- Is the cafe culture buzzing?⁣
⁣
And so much more! Our biggest concern was the community part. After traveling Serbia alone - we were starting to feel quite lonely! We joined an FB group and found someone had set up a weekly coworking day.⁣
⁣
It’s always nerve-wracking going to events where you don’t know anyone but as digital nomads, you get acquainted pretty quick! TLDR, we had a pretty close group of 8 working from cafes together, exploring Zagreb and getting to know each other.⁣
⁣
Zagreb is a great destination in Europe for a digital nomad wanting a more affordable cost of living while still exploring Croatia! 🇭🇷⁣

Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣ ⁣ Never did we think we would visit Serbia…⁣
⁣
…but we are SO glad we did!⁣
⁣
Serbia surprised us in so many ways, we honestly didn’t know what to expect! ⁣
⁣
That’s one of the ways we like to approach some of our travels - not judging the country by its cover. You can hear some positive (or negative) things about countries but you never truly know until you experience it for yourself. ⁣
⁣
We spent a month living in Belgrade, Serbia and it wasn’t long enough! With such limited time, as digital nomads you have to hit the ground running to get settled into your new home. We used our first 3 days to find (good) cafes to work from, sign up for a gym membership and plan our travel across Serbia.⁣
⁣
Here are some reasons we can recommend Belgrade to fellow digital nomads:⁣
- friendly, welcoming people⁣
- they have delicious food⁣
- high standard of living⁣
- relatively low cost of living⁣
- fast wifi with tons of cafes to work from ⁣
⁣
We ate countless bureks, drank copious amounts of coffee and worked from some of the coolest cafes. We can’t wait to get back to Belgrade!⁣
⁣
Serbia, you stole our hearts!⁣
