How do you get to Kimolos from Paros?

Where do you get ferry tickets to Kimolos?
One of the best places to look at ferry schedules and to book tickets online is at Ferryscanner. Although I recommend you book your Paros to Kimolos ferry tickets in advance, you might also prefer to use a travel agency in Greece when you have arrived.
What time should I be at the port in Paros?
Half an hour before departure is the rule of thumb at Parikia. Turn up earlier if you are taking a vehicle across, as those queues form well before loading starts.
Should I book a cabin for the crossing to Kimolos?
On an overnight sailing, or anything running much beyond six hours, a cabin makes the journey far more comfortable. For a shorter daytime hop it is not worth the extra.
