Rental Car
We recommend renting through MotorLand Rentals for the easiest way to get around Paros. They can deliver your car or 4-wheeler (ATV) right to the port, airport, or your hotel. If you’re comfortable, we highly recommend renting a 4-wheeler—they’re so much fun, easy to park, and the best way to explore the island. Cars are also available if you prefer more comfort or space. Please use discount code "ANASWEDDING" when completing your booking on the website for a better rate. You can book each vehicle on their website: www.motorland.gr. There, you’ll find prices, insurance options, and the ability to choose the pick-up and drop-off arrangements that suit you best.
Travel Note
We recommend booking your ferry tickets in advance through FerryHopper—it’s the easiest platform to search routes, compare times, and book online. There are two main ports in Athens: Piraeus and Rafina. Choose whichever is best for your travel plans, and aim for the fastest option (around 2 hr 45 min). Best Practices: -->Book Early: Ferries can sell out in high season, especially the faster boats. -->Check Your Port: Make sure you know which port your ticket is from; they’re in different parts of Athens and can be 30–60 min apart. --> Arrive Early: Plan to get to the port at least 30 min before departure—boarding can feel a bit chaotic. -->Enjoy the Ride: Ferries are huge and surprisingly comfortable, with air-conditioned lounges, outdoor decks, and full bars offering snacks, drinks, and even cocktails. Once you arrive in Paros, you’ll dock right in Parikia town—it’s a quick taxi or car ride to most hotels and villas!
