About Paros

Paros combines classic Cycladic beauty with a more balanced and approachable atmosphere than some of the more intense Greek islands. You get whitewashed villages, beach clubs, windsurfing spots, great food and lively nights, while still being able to slow down in quieter towns and beaches. Ideal for groups that want a bit of everything without going full party mode.

How to get there

  • Fly directly from Athens and several European cities in summer, or take a ferry from Athens (Piraeus port). Ferries are frequent and take around 3–4 hours.
