Paros is an island at the center of the Cyclades island group. Combining modern with traditional elements in the most unique way, it is a mix of traditional Cycladic architecture, vivid nightlife, magical beaches, enchanting rural villages and historical monuments.
Whether you’re after a relaxing holiday or you are more of a thrill-seeker, Paros island will give you exactly what you want!
Boasting a beautiful natural landscape and 120 km of coastline, Paros is one of the most beautiful Greek islands. It has endless golden-sand beaches, verdant mountains and cliff-top villages.
Being a short ferry ride away from Athens, it is easily accessible from Piraeus, Rafina and Lavrion ports. What’s more, its proximity to popular Cyclades islands, such as Mykonos, Santorini and Naxos makes it the perfect island-hopping base!
The two main villages of Paros and the places where the heart of the island’s nightlife beats are Parikia and Naoussa.
Full of traditional taverns, luxurious restaurants and sophisticated bars, Parikia and Naoussa overflow with young crowds every night during summer.
If busy places and loud music aren’t your cups of tea, though, you can wander in the tranquil traditional villages of Lefkes and Marpissa.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the different faces of Paros!
In truth, this island is famous for one thing in particular: its beaches! Beautiful, sandy, with crystal clear waters and many facilities, the beaches of Paros are stunning! Santa Maria, Golden Beach and Kolymbithres are some of the most famous ones. However, there are also many secluded beaches, for those who seek privacy!
Are you a water sports enthusiast? Then Paros is going to be your dream destination! Its ideal wind conditions, thanks to the “Meltemia” winds, rank it as a top destination for water sports, such as windsurfing and kitesurfing.
