Seats in the high-speed ferry Thunder

Standard (economy) seats are the least expensive ones. In a conventional ferry, you will be able to choose between a seat on the deck or in the interior lounge area.
For numbered seats, the most affordable option is an air-type seat.
Business or VIP seats are the most expensive and recommended for luxury traveling.
Note that, regarding high-speed vessels, a standard ticket only comes with an air-type seat since such ferries only boast numbered seats.

Aerial view of Tourlos, the new port of Mykonos

All the ferries from Mykonos depart from the New Port of Mykonos, also known as Tourlos. It is located 2 km from Mykonos Town and is small in size, so spotting your ferry is very easy.

The port of Paros which receives all ferries is located in Parikia, the island’s capital.

Both islands are popular among Greeks and foreigners alike. The high number of visitors induces traffic within and around the port, so being at the port at least an hour earlier than your ferry’s departure is strongly recommended.

Luggage storage

Luggage policies in ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage for each passenger and provide a luggage storage area in each ferry. Alternatively, you can keep your luggage in the lounges or on deck (if available).
We recommend leaving bulky suitcases in the designated area and taking your personal items (wallet, keys, etc.) with you upstairs.

Garage

A special vehicle ticket is required in order to transfer your car (or motorbike) to Paros.
Car owners should arrive at the port at least 60 minutes before the official time of departure.
For safety reasons, entering the garage while the ferry is sailing is forbidden.
Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.
