Tips for the Koufonisi–Paros Ferry
- In an emergency, follow crew instructions immediately; the muster stations are marked on deck plans posted in corridors and at cabin doors.
- Toilets at smaller island ports can be limited and poorly maintained; use facilities at your hotel or a cafe before heading to the port.
- The period immediately after the 15th August peak sees a rapid fall in demand; last-minute seats become available again from around the 20th.
- Parking at major ports is available but fills quickly in summer – if leaving your car, book a parking spot in advance or arrive very early.
- 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.
