Paros is considered as one of the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades and has everything one expects from a Greek Island: traditional white painted villages of small cubic houses with blue doors
and windows, a lovely hilly countryside with endless vineyards, monasteries, churches and chapels, fishing harbours that turn into touristy areas during summer, plenty of activities, hotels, restaurants and some of the best nightlife and beaches of the Cyclades.
The island’s capital is Parikia, also the island’s main port. It has frequent connections to most of the other islands of the Aegean. Parikia is one of the two natural bays of the island. |

The other bay is the bay of Naoussa, a little picturesque harbour and a famous resort. These two bays offer beautiful sandy beaches protected by the Meltemi, the local Cycladic wind.
A lot of the island’s beaches are still wild, but some are fully organised, offering to the visitors many water sports facilities. Some others are famous as windsurfing beaches. The Golden Beach welcomes every year the Windsurfing World Cup.
So, whether you’d like a peaceful, active or educational holiday or just feel like partying, Paros is a diversified island that can offer everything you are searching for…
