Self-Guided Tour of Paros — Explore Like a Local, Your Way

The interactive tour app that turns island exploration into an adventure. No tour groups. No schedules. Just you, your phone, and the hidden corners of Paros.

Why Self-Guided Tours Beat Tour Groups

Traditional tours are designed for 30 people at once. Routey is designed for you.

No Schedule

Start when you want. Stop when you are hungry. A tour group leaves with or without you — Routey waits. You are in control of every minute.

No Crowds

A bus of 40 tourists crowding around a landmark is not exploration — it is spectatorship. Routey takes you to the same places but at your own pace, with space to actually experience them.

Real Exploration

Tour guides tell you what they know. Routey challenges you to figure things out — riddles, puzzles, and clues at every stop make every landmark feel like a puzzle you are solving.

Your Privacy

No guide following you with a flag. No group chat with your personal details. A self-guided tour is genuinely private — just you and your companions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need internet on the trail?expand_more

While you can use Routey offline after starting the tour, it is recommended you use it online, as Routey itself doesn't offer navigation and we rely on Google/Apple Maps for that.

Can I pause and resume a tour?expand_more

Yes! Routey saves your progress automatically. If you like a place you're at and would like to stop for some food or a drink, you can do so and pick up exactly where you left off. You have 24 hours to complete a tour from the moment you start it. Just make sure you do NOT uninstall the app.

Is the app suitable for children?expand_more

Yes. The riddles and puzzles are designed to be solvable by anyone who can read — children as young as 8 typically manage independently, while younger kids enjoy the experience as a family activity. The walking tours in particular are great for families with children who can walk 3–5km.

How does the 24-hour access work?expand_more

After purchasing a tour, you will receive a code that you can use to unlock the tour. The code of the tour does not expire. You have 24 hours to complete the tour from the moment you start it.
