Tips for the Folegandros–Paros Ferry
- Rain gear is rarely needed on summer ferry crossings, but a waterproof layer is worth having in spring and autumn when showers are possible.
- Catamarans offer a faster crossing but have a lower wind-speed tolerance; in July and August, a booking on a conventional ferry is more likely to run on schedule.
- 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.
