Overview
Naxos and Paros lie in the heart of the Cyclades, and that is precisely what makes them reliable destinations for anyone who wants island holidays without haste. Naxos is the larger, with mountain villages such as Apeiranthos, the marble gate Portara above the harbour and long sandy beaches in the west. Paros is smaller and whiter, with the fishing harbour of Naoussa and ferries to the neighbouring island of Antiparos, which keeps a quieter rhythm. From May to June and from September to October the days are warm, the beaches empty and the sea still pleasant.
Couples take time for dinners in harbour tavernas, families find shallow, sandy bays. Greek is the national language, on the islands English is usually enough. On the journey: Swiss citizens need no visa, Greece belongs to the Schengen area. The entry requirements of the FDFA (EDA) are authoritative, and you should check them before booking.
The flight time is about 2.5 to 3 hrs. Smaller tavernas and beach bars often accept only cash. You are best placed to agree the island sequence and ferry times in a video call with Island Escapes, because in summer the boats run more frequently than in spring and autumn.
