Car Rental in Parikia - Paros Port

Parikia is the capital and main harbour of Paros, the place where almost every visitor first sets foot on the island. With ferries arriving daily from Piraeus, Rafina, Mykonos, Naxos, and Santorini, the port is the busiest arrival point on Paros, and our main office is within easy walking distance of the ferry dock.

When you book a Parikia pickup, you collect your car at our main Parodise office by the port. The whole handover takes around 10 minutes: paperwork, a quick walk around the car, and you're on the road. No transfer fee, no waiting for a shuttle, no walking through the back streets with luggage in the summer heat.

Parikia itself rewards a few hours of unhurried exploration before you head elsewhere. The Panagia Ekatontapiliani, the Church of 100 Doors, is a five-minute walk from our office and one of the oldest continuously used churches in Greece. The Venetian Castle sits above the old town, built from the stones of even older temples. The waterfront cafes are pointed perfectly at the sunset.

Once you have your car, the rest of Paros opens up. Naousa is a 20-minute drive north for sunset cocktails and seafood dinners. Lefkes, the old capital, sits in the heart of the island, 25 minutes inland through olive groves and whitewashed villages. Pounta Beach and Golden Beach are 20 minutes south. Aliki and the airport are 30 minutes south-east on the perimeter road.

Our Parikia fleet is the largest of any location and includes compact city cars, sedans, automatic SUVs, convertibles for the brave, and 7-seater vans for groups. We almost always have stock in the shoulder season; for July and August we recommend booking a week or two ahead.

All rentals include full insurance, unlimited mileage, English- and Greek-speaking staff, and 24-hour roadside assistance. We're open every day from 08:00 to 23:59, so if your ferry pulls in at midnight we'll still be there to hand you the keys.

If you'd like to combine a port pickup with a drop-off at a different location, at the airport for your return flight, or at a hotel in Naousa, that's no problem. A small one-way surcharge is shown during booking.
