Getting Around Paros by Bus
When residing on Paros, one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to travel between the key towns and beaches, in addition to the Antiparos ferry at Pounta, is by using the island’s excellent public transportation system. The coach-style vehicles are comfortable, air conditioned, and typically on schedule. Buses on Paros make a route surrounding the perimeter of the island, with some routes heading inland to the smaller villages.
