Arrive at the port 30-45 minutes before departure as a foot passenger, and a full hour if you are bringing a car or motorbike. Both Parikia (Paros) and Naxos Chora ports get congested in July and August, and high-speed boarding can close 10-15 minutes before departure. Most operators (Blue Star, SeaJets) accept e-tickets, so you can board straight from your phone.
All Paros to Naxos ferries depart from Parikia, the main port and capital of Paros on the west coast, easy to spot by the windmill on the harbour roundabout. Ferries arrive at Naxos Chora port, right below the Portara and a short walk from the old town. (Note: the small Pounta port in southern Paros only serves the Antiparos crossing, not Naxos.)
The two ports are about 13 nautical miles apart (roughly 24 km / 15 miles), one of the shortest crossings in the Cyclades. That is why the Paros to Naxos ferry takes just 25-50 minutes and runs up to 12 times a day.
Paros is generally more expensive than Naxos, especially around the upscale nightlife hub of Naoussa, where hotels and beach clubs trend pricier. Naxos is larger and more agricultural, so you will usually find better value on accommodation, dining (it grows its own potatoes, cheese and meat) and beach setups. See our full Paros vs Naxos guide.
