The island of Paros, by many, is considered the gateway to the Cyclades.
Really beautiful, with wonderful beaches, fantastic sea and lots of places.
PARIKIA
White and blue are the dominant shades of Parikia, the capital of the island. Without a doubt, one of the places in Paros where you will spend most of your afternoons and evenings.
A really beautiful and charming village. We advise you to get lost among the wages alleys, among beautiful lime-colored houses, with flowered balconies and bougainvilleas all around. Shops, taverns, and beautiful views. Here, you only walk on foot. And it’s really a pleasure.
To see the port, lively and particularly lively and, above all, the beautiful village with narrow streets and paved. Right here, the marvelous Panagia Ekatontapiliani, represents the top among the places of Paros. Also known as the Church of the 100 doors, it stands at the end of the square from which the port is accessed.
Beautiful, imposing, and majestic, dates back to the fourth century, and is one of the most beautiful churches of all the Cyclades. They are visible frescoes, iconostasis and numerous icons, and a cruciform bath for diving. For a visit to the small adjoining museum, and to the oldest structure of the whole temple (Agios Nikolaos), you pay the ticket from 2.00€.
The church is open from morning until evening. Beautiful and evocative after sunset, all lit up.
The Archaeological Museum is one of the must-see places during a vacation in Paros, as well as one of the most important museums in Greece due to its exhibitions. Contains numerous artifacts including a Nike 470 ac, the marble statue of the Gorgon, or, an ancient monster that petrified people. And, again, mosaics, sarcophagi, Cycladic figures, amphorae and much more.
The museum, founded in 1960, is divided into three large areas and contains many finds from the excavations of Paros and Antiparos. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 08:00 to 15:00. Closed on Monday.
The entrance fee costs 2.00€ per person.
Walking through the narrow streets of the village, you reach the ancient Venetian Kastro, of which only ruins remain. Not to be missed for the nearby, picturesque, Agios Konstandinos and the beautiful view.
The same you can enjoy arriving at Agia Anna, at the end of a long walk after leaving the port.
NAOUSSA

Naousa is an old fishing village, which became, in a few decades, the tourist center of the island. Hotels, and buildings, have distorted the character and its uniqueness.
Despite this, Naoussa is one of the places of Paros to see. In front of the lively port, we recommend a visit to the 15th century Venetian Kastro. From here, remarkable sight. Naoussa, moreover, is renowned for its excellent cuisine, with fresh fish, which you can savor in one of the many taverns present.
If you were to be in Paros, after mid-August, do not miss the festivities of the Pirate party.
PAROS PARK
North of Naoussa, at the very tip of the island, Paros Park is one of Paros’s most picturesque places. A unique landscape. A truly wonderful view. And three fantastic hiking trails to pristine beaches, unique places and breathtaking landscapes.
The first itinerary is Monastery Aï Yannis – Alonaki – Lighthouse. The travel time is about 45 minutes. The second path, Catholicos Beach – Lighthouse Korakas, runs in about 25 minutes. Magnificent views from the lighthouse across the Aegean. The third path goes from Catholico Beach to Tourkou Ammos and Almyros; travel time is 50 minutes.
It is recommended to meet in the early morning or late afternoon: the sun beats rather loudly. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
From June to October, moreover, in the amphitheater a rich program of events awaits you. The Paros Park Festival awaits you with performances, shows, concerts. The genres are quite varied: classical music and even rock. And, moreover, cinema and feature films. There really is everything. Don’t miss in your vacation in Paros
