Paros Island Travel Tips

A few travel tips that will help you explore Paros island and plan a vacation itinerary for your time there:
  • Ferry services leave from the island's port in Tinos Town in Tinos. Passengers should aim to be at island departure ports at least a half an hour in advance of departure if they already have a ticket.

  • Ferries arrive at the main port, Parikia in Paros. This is also the main town on the island, and is a good place to stay if you only expect to be in Paros for a day or two.

  • Other areas to consider staying include Aliki, Piso Livadi, Chrissi Akti, and Naousa. If you plan to visit Paros in July or August, you'll need to book a hotel a few months in advance. Check here for accommodation options: Where to stay in Paros

  • Spend time on some of the top rated beaches in Paros: Kolymbithres, Santa Maria, Pounda, Agia Irini, Chrissi Akti, Monastiri, and Logaras. Take a look at my guide here: Best beaches in Paros

How to prevent seasickness on the journey

The Meltemi winds often blow through the Cyclades during the summer. Conventional ferries are less affected, but most ferries on the route Tinos to Syros are high speed ferries.

There are a few things that you can do to prevent seasickness while sailing from Tinos to Paros. Some people find that sitting by a window and looking out at the horizon can help, while others prefer to stay in the middle of the boat. It is also recommended to avoid eating greasy or spicy foods before boarding.

There is some anecdotal evidence to suggest that ginger may help prevent seasickness. Some people find that sucking on ginger candy or drinking ginger tea may help, while others prefer to take ginger capsules.
