LOCATION & GETTING HERE
Location
Just over two and a half hours from Athens on the High Speed ferry, or a short 20 minute flight will bring you to the Cycladic island of Paros. Boat departure are also available from Santorini or Mykonos.
The Resort on Pounda Bay, opposite the tranquil island of AntiParos. The hotel is just 8kms from Parikia (the main port, and a mere 5 kms fom the islands airport.
It is conveniently placed for exploring the island, yet also perfect for those who prefer to isolate themselves and enjoy a relaxing holiday.
Getting Here
FLY TO:
- Athens
- Thessaloniki
- Santorini
- Myconos
THAN FLY TO PAROS FROM:
- Athens
- Thessaloniki
With Olympic Air and Aegean Airlines
You can also fly from Athens to Paros with one of the small Aegean planes (=up to 38 passengers), which fly approx. 3x a day be aware that it is not easy to get seats. The flight takes approx. 35 minutes.
OR TAKE A FERRY:
From Anthes: approx 4 hours with the slowest boat
Myconos: 40 mins the fastest boat from Myconos
ROUGH GUDELIEN:
For traveling from Athens, you need to land in Athens up to 14.00 hrs to catch the usually last ferry per day to Paros around 17.00 hrs. Calculate around 1 1/2 hrs for the bus trip from the airport to the port of Piraeus. (It’s the bus “X96” that goes every 20 mins from the airport – no need for the taxi-hassle!)
Sometimes there are also boats from Rafina, too, but you’d need to check the boat schedule for that first.
Myconos is a bit tricky, as there are daily boats but unless it is high season only very early in the morning (around 10.00 hrs), so usually there is no way around staying overnight on Myconos. There is no ground rule here either, so you’d have to check the ferry schedule there, too.
ISLAND HOPPING
If you are island hopping, you can get to Paros from almost all other islands, even places like Crete or Samos, and if there is not a direct boat, you get a connection from another Island.
