How to get to New Paros Airport by Train

The island of Paros, part of the Cyclades island group, is served by the New Paros Airport. This island is always worth visiting because it blends traditional Cycladic architecture, vibrant nightlife, magical beaches, charming rural villages, and historical monuments.

Passengers flying into New Paros Airport can be sure of a comfortable and quick arrival thanks to the terminal services offered by the airport. Once you've completed the required security checks and left the aircraft, grab your luggage. It would help if you had a passport, a visa, and an ID card to enter Paros.

If your child travels with you, be ready to show a valid passport or ID card. To avoid any delays or inconveniences, kindly plan your visit in advance. As you book your flights online with your airline, ask for assistance entering the terminal.

The arrivals hall is where you'll find rental counters. If you choose to utilize a rental car to get from PAS to your final destination, it is advised to reserve one well in advance for greater peace of mind.

Renting a car at the airport is an excellent idea because the rates are great, making traveling to well-known tourist attractions easier.

Near the exit from the arrivals area, the taxi stand is in front of the airport terminal building. The only cabs that go to and from New Paros Airport are grey or black cars with a yellow rooftop taxi sign. Taxis have always been the most affordable and practical way to get from PAS to Parikia or any other place in Paros.

Bus services for the general public, like PAROS K.T.E.L. S.A., transport between the airport and the nation's capital. They are only reachable from the airport four times per day. A one-way bus ticket to Parikia costs €3 and takes 20 minutes to travel. You can get to Parikia, Pounda, and many other important locations on the island.

It is unfortunate that New Paros Airport currently lacks a rail system. On mainland of Greece, trains are a standard mode of transportation. On Greek islands, including the one where Paros is situated, they are uncommon, though.

Greece Railway Network

The Greek train organization OSE provides service to the Greek railway network. Greece's primary rail lines are Athens-Thessaloniki, Athens-Patra (served by Proastiakos trains until Kiato), Athens-Thessaloniki-Alexandroupoli (Dikaia), Athens-Thessaloniki-Florina, and Athens-Thessaloniki-Kalambaka (Meteora). Much work has been done recently to upgrade the rail network and speed up Greece's trains. Be aware that an Intercity Train runs the Athens-Thessaloniki route in 4 hours instead of the regular train's 6 hours.
