Shortly after confirmation, you’ll receive your e-ticket by email along with all essential travel details, including departure information and boarding instructions.
Arrival at port: In Santorini, ferries depart from Athinios Port, the island’s main ferry terminal located at the base of the caldera and accessible by taxi, private transfer, or public bus from Fira and nearby areas. In Paros, departures and arrivals take place at Parikia Port, the island’s central harbor within walking distance of Parikia town and well connected by taxis and local buses. Both ports can be busy, especially during peak season, so travelers are advised to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure to allow time for boarding procedures.
Board the ferry: Upon arrival at the port, locate your ferry using the vessel name shown on your ticket and proceed to the boarding area when announced. Port staff and signage help guide travelers, making the process straightforward.
Enjoy the ride: Once onboard the high-speed Seajets ferry, take a seat in the modern, air-conditioned lounges and enjoy a smooth crossing across the Aegean Sea. The vessels offer comfortable seating and large windows, allowing you to relax, unwind, and enjoy sea views during the journey.
Arrive & disembark: Upon arrival at your destination port, disembark at Parikia Port in Paros or Athinios Port in Santorini and continue your journey independently. Ports are centrally located and provide easy access to accommodation, beaches, and onward transport.
Return trip options: If you’re planning a same-day return or traveling back on another date, simply book a separate one-way ticket for each leg. This allows you to create a flexible itinerary that suits your travel plans.
Ferries operate daily with multiple departures depending on the season. Pick-up and meeting point details are clearly communicated via your e-ticket. You can bring luggage with a total weight of up to 50 kg for free.
