And since you are 10 people, you may have to go to Parikia, the port, to pick up your rental car(s). These costs include accommodation (assuming double occupancy, so the traveler is sharing the room), food, transportation, and entertainment. Most of the travelers visiting Paros leave from Athens.Ferries to Paros depart from Piraeus, which is the main and biggest port of the Greek Capital, situated only 12km away from the city center.The port of Rafina is the eastern port of Athens, located near the Airport. Once at Paros airport there is nothing interesting to do or see. The average daily cost (per person) in Paros is 122, while the average daily cost in Athens is 127. The same plane trip will take you almost as long because you will have to leave the hotel at least 2h30 hours before the flight time for Paros, (the metro trip to the airport will cost you €9 per person)Īt the airport you will have to check in your luggage, go through security checks, wait to board, then you will all be locked in a plane seat for 45 minutes. Those who don't like card games but are still lucky may see dolphins. Find a large table and sit there together (and play card games if you have cards) Taking the 7:25 Blue Star you will be in Parikia (or elsewhere in Paros) for lunch.Īll car rental companies are at least at the port of ParikiaĪs it has already been specified, on the ferry you can walk on the decks, sit inside or outside. The metro ticket costs €1.20.Īt the port of Piraeus the Blue Star for Paros leaves from Gate E7 which is close to the metro exit (max 5 minutes walk). You will be at the port in about 20 minutes.

Two metro lines will take you to the port of Piraeus, I believe the M1 (green) line is the fastest. You can go to the port of Piraeus from the "Monastiraki" metro station, which is located 150 meters from your hotel. Taking the ferry is part of the experience of traveling to the Greek islands.
