When to go

We suggest visiting the Cyclades in late spring or early autumn, when the sea is swimmable but many of the holidaying hordes have gone. Beware of visiting too late in autumn though – storms can scupper travel plans and transport links are fewer.

Getting there

  • Planes

    You’ll need to connect in Athens before taking the puddle jumper to Paros’ Lilliputian airport.

  • Boats

    If you’re island hopping, you can reach Paros by ferry, too – it takes about an hour from Mykonos and just under four from Athens.

  • Automobiles

    Don’t expect myriad car hire options at Paros airport. You’re probably better off without wheels, anyway – parking is scant in mid-summer and the fines are steep if you’re not where you meant to be. If you’re intent on revving an engine, rent a moped instead – you can find reputable outfits on the waterfront in Parikia.
