Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Paros?
Yes, and rental desks cluster right by the port in Parikia, most just a couple of minutes' walk from where the ferry docks. A car earns its keep here: nowhere on Paros is more than about 30 minutes' drive away, opening up marble-quarry villages and quieter southern beaches that the KTEL bus network doesn't reach directly. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars if you'd rather not rely on the bus timetable.

Tips for the Paros to Heraklia ferry
- The whitewashed windmill facing the harbour is Parikia's landmark, useful for finding your way back to the terminal. Arrive at least an hour before departure in peak season, allowing extra time if you still need to buy your ticket at the port.
- The KTEL bus station for onward island travel is immediately to the right as you exit the port, making it easy to find without asking directions. Buses to Naoussa, the airport, and beaches all depart from here.
- Baggage storage is free at the KTEL bus station once you have bought your ticket, so there is no need to carry bags around Parikia while you wait for your ferry to board.
- Paros is one of the busiest Cyclades hubs, so if you are changing ferries the same day build in a buffer – delays tend to build up through the day and afternoon sailings are more likely to run late.
- If one leg of your journey is critical – for example a return to Athens before a flight – book that leg first and plan the rest of the trip around it.
