Paros National Airport guide

Paros National Airport sits at Kampos in the south-west of the island, on a plateau 38 m above sea level. The current airport replaced the older Paros airfield on 25 July 2016. The earlier airport had operated since 1982.

It has one asphalt runway, 17/35, 1,400 m long. That suits turboprops and small jets, so the main year-round link is to Athens with Olympic Air and Sky Express. Aegean Airlines adds seasonal flights to Heraklion and Thessaloniki, and Avanti Air has run seasonal charters to Klagenfurt and Graz. Summer traffic is far heavier than winter traffic.

Passenger numbers have grown steadily. The airport handled 204,924 passengers and 3,712 aircraft movements in 2018, and 331,852 passengers and 6,781 movements in 2023. The terminal building is about 745 m2. A funded expansion plans a 12,500 m2 terminal, a runway extended to 1,800 m, a new control tower and a 550-space car park.

From the airport, buses run to Parikia, the main town and ferry port, and taxis cover the island.
