Accommodation
Don’t make the mistake of coming to Paros without booking your accommodation online! Paros is a touristic Greek island and it is nearly impossible to find a place to stay if you decide at the last minute.
So, why not search online for all the accommodation choices you have in the main settlements of the island, such as Parikia and Naousa, as well as less-known villages, such as Marpissa and Lefkes?
Especially if you have flexible dates, you can find the perfect place to stay at affordable prices. So, you can choose between a hotel, a hostel, a whole house, a room to let, a guesthouse or even camping at a wide range of prices. Paros offers endless accommodation options depending on everyone’s needs and budget.
Transportation
You can come to Paros either by boat or by airplane. Whatever you choose, it is important to book it online and ahead. Nowadays, all means of transport have the option to book, pay and print your ticket online, so you don’t have to wait in line for the ticket in the port for example.
In addition, shipping and airline companies occasionally run offers for cheaper air or ferry tickets, especially if you book and pay in advance.
Car rental in Paros
A car is necessary in Paros, as it is a large island with many places to visit, such as beaches, villages and museums. The distances are not very long, but you definitely can’t see all points of interest on foot.
The problem is that on the island there are thousands of tourists during the high season (July and August) and getting around is a problem because buses have very infrequent schedules and are always crowdy.
If you rent a car in Paros, you can easily and conveniently explore the island and live the ultimate experience of beach hopping, visiting many beaches during the day and going everywhere you want!
For example, you can go for your morning bath in Kolympithres and then take your car to go to amazing Monastiri and then swim and sunbathe also in Piperi and Livadia beach. By car, you can beautifully close your day in Naousa, drinking cocktails and admiring the magnificent sunset, without having to worry about bus itineraries.
Plus, if you book early, you can find great deals and rent your car at very low prices.
Sightseeing
With tourism in Greece and especially in Paros thriving, visiting the island’s sights is becoming increasingly difficult. Crowds and queues of tourists at museums and archaeological sites can force you to wait for hours until you reach the ticket office.
Unless you book online, which most museums and points of interest in Paros now support. It does, of course, require a bit more planning, as you need to know exactly what day and time to visit each thing, but it’s worth it because you’re making better use of your precious vacation time instead of waiting in a queue under the sun.
Gastronomic and other experiences
Paros offers you many gastronomic experiences. Wine tasting or eating fresh seafood, enjoying the traditional Greek cuisine are a must. Plus, you can have many other experiences on the island, such as hiking or exploring inaccessible beaches by boat.
It is a good idea to book these experiences online several days in advance. You can book a table online in a Greek restaurant in Parikia or Naousa, a boat tour or an unforgettable culinary experience!
It may need more organization and less spontaneity to book everything online, but it is beneficial for your wallet as well as your time and peace of mind. After all, what matters is to discover as many things as possible in the beautiful Greek island of Paros!
