Where do I depart from when chartering in Paros?

Most charters depart from Parikia port in Paros Town, which is approximately 25 minutes from Paros National Airport and offers protected moorings with sturdy pontoons. The marina is tidy, with restrooms, basic washing facilities, and on-site harbormasters to assist with lines and berthing.

Some itineraries also utilize Naoussa, a picturesque village on the northern coast known for its scenic bays and vibrant waterfront, providing an alternative departure point for exploring the wider Cyclades.

What islands can I reach on a day trip from Paros?

On a day trip from Paros, you can easily reach Antiparos, the closest destination known for its calm anchorages and sheltered bays around Agios Georgios. Naxos is another popular stop, offering long beaches, traditional villages, and scenic bays suited for watersports.

For longer itineraries, you can explore the central Cyclades including Sifnos, Serifos, and Amorgos, or venture to the southern Cyclades like Santorini, where yachts anchor below the caldera for cliffside visits and sunset dining.

When is the best sailing season in Paros?

The best time to charter a yacht in Paros is from late April through October, when the island settles into its long Aegean summer and conditions are ideal for exploring the wider Cyclades. During the summer months, winds are strong, so we recommend chartering only to experienced sailors or with an experienced skipper.

Spring and autumn offer milder weather and fewer crowds, making them excellent alternatives for those seeking a more relaxed sailing experience while still enjoying the vibrant waters of the Cyclades.

What licence or skipper rules apply in Greece?

Greece requires a valid boat licence for bareboat charters, and many companies offer skippered charters for those without one or for those who prefer an experienced skipper on board. Small group and private day sailing trips are also available, perfect for visitors who want to explore without committing to a week-long charter.

For bareboat charters, you must present your licence and proof of experience, while skippered charters provide a professional captain who handles navigation and safety, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey.

How do I get to Paros for my charter?

You can reach Paros via Paros National Airport, which is approximately 10 km from Parikia Marina, with a transfer time of about 25 minutes. International direct flights are regularly scheduled throughout the summer, and for those arriving in Athens, the connecting flight to Paros is just a 30-minute hop.

Alternatively, you can travel by ferry from Athens, with multiple daily departures connecting Piraeus to Paros, offering a scenic and convenient option for reaching the island.
