Visiting Paros

Why visit Paros

Paros offers a quintessential Greek island experience without the intense crowds or prices of Santorini or Mykonos, making it ideal for first-time visitors, families, and couples. You can spend days relaxing on beautiful beaches like Kolymbithres with its distinctive rock formations, or enjoy wind sports at Golden Beach. Explore charming towns such as Naoussa, a cosmopolitan fishing village famed for its lively nightlife and dining, or discover Parikia, the island's capital, with its traditional Cycladic architecture. The hilltop village of Lefkes provides a glimpse into traditional island life. A short ferry ride also connects you to the quieter sister island of Antiparos.

Plan your visit

For optimal weather and fewer crowds, visit Paros in May-June or September-October. July and August are peak season, offering liveliness but also higher prices. A 4 to 5-day trip allows full exploration of the island's attractions, beaches, and villages, including a day trip to Antiparos. Easily combine your visit with nearby Naxos, accessible by ferry. Paros National Airport (PAS) receives domestic flights from Athens. From PAS, a taxi to Parikia or Naoussa costs around £12.84 to £21.40. Ferries also connect Paros directly from Athens (Piraeus or Rafina) and other Greek islands.
