Tips for the Milos–Paros Ferry
- If you are travelling with large or heavy bags, load them onto the vessel first and then find your seat, rather than struggling through corridors with luggage in tow.
- Prices on Greek ferry routes are generally fixed by the operator – unlike airlines, there is no dynamic pricing that rewards booking at odd hours.
- Onboard announcements are made in Greek first and English second; if you miss the English version, ask a fellow passenger what was said.
- Most island ports are within walking distance of the main village or town – a 5–10 minute walk with luggage is usually manageable.
- 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.
