Paros, Greek Islands

From mountains to fishing villages and seaside resorts in deserted coves, Paros offers great diversity. This diversity can also be found in the island's hotel facilities. With the choice between a large seaside hotel, a charming little hotel, a facility which offers studios, apartments and bungalow rooms and a small family-run hotel in the village, there is something for all tastes. Bear in mind, though, that hotels are generally open from April to October. A bus sevice runs from morning until the evening on the island, but it is preferable to rent a car or a bike so that you don't lose too much time. The port for boarding the ferries (a 5-hour trip to Piraeus) is located in Parikia and the airport is about 6 miles south of the main city.

Visit Paros

  • To see

    Famous for its marble quarries, Paros is the third largest island in the Cyclades (75 sq mi). It has been well preserved and despite the inescapable growth of tourism it still retains its authentic charm and remains an endearing natural setting. You will be able to observe the family taverns on the lively port of Parikia; the hilly inland landscape dotted with vineyards and olive trees; the many sandy beaches (Logaras, Kolimbitres, Agia Irini, etc.), the small mountain villages (Lefkes, Kostos) and the traditional fishing ports: the range of activities offered on this central island in the Cyclades is infinite.

    To do

    Naoussa is, without doubt, one of the most charming villages on the island. It is a small fishing port, with a unique setting and it is worth visiting even if you only spend a night there.

    To think about

    Be aware that if you eat fish in a restaurant, the price of fish is often specified for 100 grams. Therefore, you don't always realise the excessive amount that you are likely to pay at the end of the meal.
  • To avoid

    Greece is a country which is far more pleasant off season. Everything is easier and more enjoyable and the local population is more relaxed when it is not invaded by tourists.

    To try

    Good quality fish is the island's main asset, but there is also Greek salad, tsatsiki, etc. Parikia is overflowing with small restaurants where these dishes can be found at reasonable prices.

    To bring back

    Small tourist shops are full of typically Greek, silver jewellery.
