Welcome to Our Wedding Journey on the Enchanting Island of Antiparos!
Thank you for embarking on this adventure with us. We promise an event filled with unique experiences and unforgettable memories. Before we dive into three days of joyous celebrations, here's a guide to help you navigate your way to Antiparos.
Your Gateway to Antiparos: Athens International Airport (ATH)
Start your journey by flying into ATH, with direct flights available from New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. To manage your travel budget, we recommend tracking flight costs with Google Flights, especially during the bustling summer season in Greece.
Journey from Athens to the Cyclades Archipelago
Antiparos, a gem in the Cyclades island group, is your final destination. This archipelago also includes renowned islands like Mykonos, Santorini, and Milos.
Option 1: Swift Journey for the Eager Traveler
Flight to Paros: From ATH, board a 40-minute flight to Paros National Airport (PAS). Post-immigration, re-check your baggage for this domestic leg.
Car Rental in Paros: Upon landing in Paros, a selection of rental car options awaits. Last year, we had a great experience with Hertz. Remember, automatic cars are in limited supply, so early reservation is advisable.
Option 2: Athens Sightseeing En Route
Discover Athens: If you wish to explore the historic city of Athens, a taxi or Uber can whisk you from the airport to the city center.
Stay in Athens: Immerse yourself in Greek culture and history for a few days.
Ferry to Paros: The most common way to island-hop is by ferry. Choose either Piraeus (in the city) or Rafina (closer to ATH). Keep in mind, most ferries depart in the morning or evening.
Car Rental at Paros Port: Car rentals are conveniently located near the port, ready for your pick-up.
Additional Ferry Information
From Mykonos: A 45-minute ferry ride connects Mykonos and Paros. This is an excellent option if you're arriving from another European city.
Flight Alternative: Athens to Paros
Convenient Flights: Multiple daily flights from Athens to Paros align well with US arrivals. Remember to allow a 3-hour buffer between flights for immigration and check-in processes.
Essential Car Rental Tips
Explore Antiparos by Car: We strongly recommend renting a car for the best island experience.
International Driver's Permit: Obtainable for $25 at AAA locations (including Columbus Circle and Brooklyn). Bring a passport photo, or have one taken on-site.
First Adventure: Reaching Antiparos
Car Ferry from Paros: A brief, scenic 5-minute car ferry from Paros will bring you to Antiparos, operating every 15-30 minutes.
