How to get to Marchello Beach in Paros?
You can go to Marchello Beach on foot (30-40 minutes walk) or by boat, departing from the port of Paroikia every half hour. However, keep in mind that public transportation in Paros may be crowded during the high season (July and August).
If your stay is at Naoussa or another village of Paros, we recommend you renting a car or ATV to get conveniently to the beach.

The beach is famous for the young people that visit it, so the beach bars on the coastline are vivid and you can spend your whole day there having fun.
