Can anyone help with advice on travel between the two. Road transport not good no rail so looks like ferry If anyone has done the trip can they tell me Co's timetables and costs etc.

Hmmm ! May not be easy--that is a good distance. I suspect a flight from Split via Zagreb to Athens may be the best option. The Adriatic ferries do not run that way.

Thanks for the reply but I think the best way is by ferry Split Ancona Patras. Has anyone travelled this way

Do you really want to spend that much time on a ferry? The ferry from Split to Ancona is 9 hrs and then another 8 or 9 hrs Ancona to Patras. Once you're in Patras you'll have to drive/take public transporation to Athens (approx. 2 - 2 1/2 hrs) and then take another ferry to Paros. You'll lose a lot of time this route! I agree with bobthenavigator that you should look at flights. I bet it's a lot cheaper than all those ferries too.

I was way off on the Ancona - Patra ferry time. It's more like 22 hours!

I've traveled often from split to ancona with www.blueline-ferries.com and it does take 9 hours, but its not bad and you sleep most of the time so it passes by fast. I've never travel to Greece though but I heard the www.superfast.com has excellent ferries.
