It may be easier to fly. I took the Blue Star ferry from Paros to Piraeus. It was immediately after a storm and the sea was a little rough. However, overall, I was very satisfied.

For flying, I think Aegean Airlines is the best.

Thank you for responding!

Our first experience ever with Fast Ferries going from Piraeus Port in Athens to Heraklion, Crete, on a day trip was a very good experience getting to view the islands of Syros, Paros, Ios, Mykonos & Santorini albeit 9 hours long. If one has the time, I highly recommend.
