Tips for the Naxos–Paros Ferry
- If your ferry is cancelled, the operator is required to offer a refund or alternative sailing; head to the operator’s quayside office immediately.
- Do not leave valuables unattended in luggage – ferry saloons are busy places and opportunistic theft, while rare, does occur.
- October brings the first autumn swells to the northern Aegean; high-speed catamaran services may cancel more frequently from this point.
- Return tickets on the same operator are sometimes cheaper than two separate one-way fares – compare both options before confirming.
- 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.
