About Paros Island

Nestled in the heart of the Cyclades, Paros is a dreamy Greek Island known for its whitewashed villages, golden beaches, and crystal-clear Aegean waters. Recently named the #1 island in the world by Travel + Leisure, it has charming cobblestone streets, vibrant bougainvillea, and breathtaking sunsets, Paros offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and relaxed elegance. The picturesque town of Naousa, where our celebration will take place, is full of seaside tavernas, boutique shops and a harbor that comes alive in the evenings.

Getting to Paros

By Air: You can fly from Athens International Airport (ATH) to Paros National Airport (PAS) in about 40 minutes. Once you land in Paros, it's about a 30-minute taxi ride to Naousa. Taxis are available outside the airport or you can arrange a transfer in advance for peace of mind. By Ferry: Ferries to Paros depart from Piraeus Port in Athens, which is about a 45-60 minute drive from the Athens airport (you can take a taxi or book a shuttle). High-speed ferries take around 3 hours, while standard ferries take 4-5 hours. Ferries drop you off at Parikia Port, the main port of Paros. From Parikia to Naousa, it's about a 20-25 minute taxi ride. Taxis are typically available at the port, or you can pre-book a car service. An easy place to book is www.ferryhopper.com

Getting Around Paros

As Paros is a small island, most places do not have exact street addresses. We recommend using GoogleMaps to look up the name of a place and use that for any directions needed. By Taxi - Uber is newer to the area and not always available / not the best price. - iMove works similarly to Uber, though wait times may be slightly longer than what you're used to. You can also request ahead of time for better chances of a driver accepting your ride. - Taxis can be found at the airport, ferry port and in downtown Naousa very easily. If you find a driver you like, ask for their contact information so you can use them again. By Car - If you're looking to explore the whole island, renting a car is the easiest and most affordable way to do so. - Vehicles can be picked up at the airport, seaport, or even at your hotel. - If you're not comfortable with manual transmission, make sure you request an automatic. - The roads are very safe, not overly crowded, and easy to drive. - Parking is generally free and most accommodations have parking areas. - In Naousa, there are also large parking lots where you can park for a modest fee.
