How to Get to Paros: Ferries, Flights and Tips

Everything you need to plan your arrival in Paros — by ferry from Athens or by plane to the island's airport.

How to Get to Paros: Ferries, Flights and Tips

Paros sits at the heart of the Cyclades, which makes it one of the easiest Greek islands to reach. Here is how to plan your journey to Pili Pala Suites.

By ferry

Ferries to Paros leave from the Athens ports of Piraeus and Rafina and arrive at Parikia, the island's main port. Both conventional and high-speed boats run the route, with many more departures in summer. Paros is also connected to neighbouring islands such as Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini and Ios, making it a perfect base for island hopping.

By plane

Paros National Airport receives domestic flights from Athens, and in summer some additional connections. The flight from Athens is short, making it a convenient choice if you arrive in Greece by international flight.

Getting around

Renting a car or ATV is the easiest way to explore the island's beaches and villages at your own pace. Taxis and the local bus network are also available. Book ferries and rental cars early in July and August, when the island is at its busiest.
