Some Greek islands are so tantalizingly close it would be a major mishap not to visit them during your stay. It’s easy to assume that islands are vast distances from one another and that it’s not worth it because aren’t they all the same?

No!

There are countless Greek islands, some inhabited, some not, and they’re all different in their own rights. So, it’s a good idea to visit as many as possible.

Mykonos and Paros are two Cyclades islands and are very close to one another. At just 44km between them, you can easily hop between the two and enjoy different tastes during your break.

Mykonos is, of course, a very famous Greek island and it’s become known over the last few years as the renowned go-to Greek party island. You’ll undoubtedly spot a footballer or two there during the summer months! But it’s obviously about more than that too. It’s a sun-drenched, beautiful island with some of the most to-die-for cuisines. But, if you want to escape the noise for a more paired-back time, then nearby Paros is a good choice.

Parikia is the island’s capital, which is why the main port is. Paros is full of low-key villages and beautiful beaches. You’ll also be able to check out some fantastic architecture from the Byzantine region, with churches dating back to around 4AD. Paros is a more laid-back view than Mykonos, so you want to check it out for a day or two.

Below is our ferry guide from Mykonos to Paros – and of course, how to get the Paros to Mykonos ferry.
