Paros National Airport (PAS)

Paros National Airport (PAS), also known as Panteleou Paros Airport, is a modern domestic facility located in the southwestern part of the island, approximately 6 miles (10 km) from the main port of Parikia. The airport operates from a compact, single-terminal building that was inaugurated in 2016 to better accommodate the increasing volume of travelers. It serves as a vital gateway for the Cyclades, primarily connecting Paros to Athens and other regional Greek hubs. The terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities for travelers, including a small snack bar and café for light meals and refreshments. Passengers have access to a retail shop selling local Cycladic products and liquor, alongside free Wi-Fi and on-site ATM services. While the facility is easy to navigate due to its small scale, it can become crowded during the peak summer season, and travelers are advised to handle significant currency needs in the main island towns. Ground transportation is well-supported by regular KTEL bus services that connect the terminal to Parikia and the Pounda Port for ferries to Antiparos. Taxi ranks are located directly outside the arrivals exit, and several car rental agencies like Hertz and Sixt maintain desks within the building. A major expansion project is currently underway, expected to significantly increase terminal capacity and extend the runway to support direct international flights by the 2026 season.
