Where to Stay
The town of Naousa.
Paros is a small island, 13 miles from one end to the other. Naousa is where the action is and will be the perfect home base for everybody to be together. + it is easy to explore the rest of the island from here
The street of Agioi Anargyroi.
Our recommended hotels sit along Agioi Anargyroi street. This street runs right along the beach and is just a short walk to town with lots of options for where to stay.

People in Greece are very helpful! ask for directions in the airport
-
you’ll likely need to get your bags at baggage claim and recheck them if you are flying to Paros
-
Give yourself two hours flying out of this airport! (trust us) The check-in area is chaotic. Look for your flight on the screen, it will have numbers next to it, those are your check in desks.
Ferries

Ferries are an easy and cost effective way to get around the Greek islands!

Ferryhopper.com is the best way to see all of your options (the travel time can severely vary, always opt for the fast ferry it is a more enjoyable, smoother ride).

Make sure to check into your ferry in advance and have the tickets on your phone. Arrive at the port 20 minutes before your departure time and you should be golden! The ferries are typically very on time - they get everyone on and off extremely quick.
