Your destination
About Paros
Paros is the junction of the Cyclades. Most ships between Piraeus and the islands call here on the way somewhere else, which makes it the one place in the archipelago where you can change boats rather than backtrack. Naxos is twenty-five minutes away with thirteen sailings a day. That is not a ferry route; that is a bridge.
