While in Paros, you will definitely want to get to know the island, and the best way to do that is to explore it on foot. Begin your tour in the island’s capital, Parikia, with a nonchalant stroll through the charming alleyways and a visit to the Ekantotapyliani Church, which is celebrated for its architecture and amazing size. You can also visit the Delion Site, the ruins of the Asklipio, and the many picturesque churches.
At close proximity to Parikia is the area of Psychopiana, a lovely natural site where butterflies are in abundance during the summer months. In Naoussa, we recommend exploring the narrow streets and visiting the Venetian Castle ruins in the town’s small port. Lefkes is home to one of the most stunning churches in the Cyclades, named Agia Triada, as well as very scenic squares with pine trees and almond trees. In Marpissa, you will have the opportunity to visit some wonderful churches and monasteries. The villages of Paros are ideal for relaxing, having a home-made meal, admiring Cycladic architecture and getting a ‘taste’ of the genuine lifestyle of the Parians.
The beaches in Paros Greece are superb. Many of them are popular destinations for windsurfers and aficionados of water sports, such as Chrissi Akti, Nea Chrissi Akti (Tserdakia), Punda, and Santa Maria.
The beach of Kolimbithres is celebrated for its unusual rock formations, while Piso Livadi is a favorite due to its length, soft sand and trees. Logaras, Faragga, Makria Myti, Aliki, and Platia Ammos are ideal for those who want to spend endless hours relaxing in the sun. Krios, Livadia, Parasporos and Agios Fokas are marvellous beaches located close to the capital town Parikia, while Piperi, Agioi Anargyri, Santa Maria, Monastiri and Kolimbithres are popular with visitors staying in the north of Paros. |
