Paros

Beautiful Paros lies in the heart of the Cyclades Islands. A serene landscape of fertile valleys and rolling hills is dotted with charming churches and monasteries, endless sandy beaches, traditional mountain villages, and picturesque fishing ports. The vibrant island offers rich culture as well as gourmet restaurants. 

Parikia, the capital, features a large natural harbour fringed with lovely beaches. The quayside is filled with delightful cafes and tavernas, colourful side streets with handicraft shops, and fascinating archaeological sites. Historic destinations on the island include the famous church of Ekatontapiliani as well as the impressive Venetian castle. 

To the north of the island lies the charming fishing port of Naoussa, with its quaint stone-paved winding lanes and whitewashed houses. The harbour is bustling with fishermen's ‘caiques’, bars, and excellent fish taverns.

The east district coast of Paros is an incredible sight with its exquisite white-sand beaches and crystal-clear water. Among these, Golden Beach is famous to fans of windsurfing as the host of the sport's world championships each summer.

With its central location, many Athenians as well as internationals have chosen Paros to create their ideal holiday home. The island oasis is linked not only to the ports of Piraeus and Rafina, but also to most of the other islands, and offers daily flights to Athens.
