Getting Around Paros by Bus
When staying on Paros, the easiest and cheapest way to get between the main towns and beaches, and to the Antiparos ferry at Pounta, is by using the island’s excellent public bus system. The coach-style buses are comfortable, air-conditioned, and generally on time. Buses on Paros make a loop around the perimeter of the island, with some routes heading inland to the smaller villages.

- The Parikia bus terminal serves the most routes, with buses regularly departing for Naoussa, Pounta ferry port, Aliki, Pounta Beach, and Golden Beach. The Parikia bus terminal is located about 200 yards south of the ferry port, an easy 1-minute walk from the port’s iconic windmill.
