Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Paros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right by the port in Parikia, most just a couple of minutes' walk from where the ferry docks. A car earns its keep here: nowhere on Paros is more than about 30 minutes' drive away, opening up marble-quarry villages and quieter southern beaches that the KTEL bus network doesn't reach directly. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars if you'd rather not rely on the bus timetable.

Tips for the Koufonissi to Paros ferry
- Koufonisi's port sits in Chora, the island's only village, so most accommodation is a short walk from the quay; even so, arrive at least 30 minutes before your ferry to Paros is due to depart.
- Book your ferry to Paros online in advance, especially in July and August, since sailings on this small network fill quickly; Chora's travel agency also sells tickets locally, but do not rely on it as your only option.
- From June to September, meltemi winds can bring rough seas and cause Small Cyclades ferries to cancel sailings at short notice; check your ferry company's status before setting out for the port.
- In autumn, the combination of warm sea and cooling air can produce dramatic storms – watch the forecast carefully for trips in October and November.
- In Paros, the charming fishing village of Naoussa on the north coast is the best place to eat fresh seafood at family-run waterfront tavernas. The main town of Parikia has an impressive Byzantine cathedral built from the marble of ancient temples, and the island's beaches – particularly Kolymbithres with its sculpted granite rocks – are among the most striking in the Cyclades.
