of the most cosmopolitan islands of Cyclades and due to this fact
every summer it is full of life.

island of beautiful beaches,
crystal clear waters unique sunsets and traditional Cycladic
views combined with its good infrastructure. Rich underwater
landscape, beach clubs, beautiful lodgings, the monasteries, the

Paros is, and has been for
many a year, one of our most popular destinations and it is not
difficult to see why. Great sandy beaches, excellent accommodation and
much of interest to see and do is a potent holiday combination. The
travel arrangements are also relatively civilized as there are fast
connections with the mainland and Santorini by sea and air.

Its
picturesque harbours, the traditional villages, the beautiful
beaches and its intense nightlife make Paros one of the best
choices for summer vacations. As a classic island, Paros is full
of white houses, which are surrounded by the red of the flowers,
the green of the vines, the golden of its sandy beaches and the
blue of its clear waters.
Capital and main port of the island is Paroikia. You
should try a small walk at the graphic streets of
the old city with the white camaras, the terraces
and the churches.
Visit the Medieval Castle as well as the church of
Christ that is situated in it. At Paroikia is also
the Holy Temple of Virgin Mary of Ekatontapyliani
(or Katapoliani) that was built by Saints Eleni and
Constantine.
At the north
of the island is the fish village Naousa, the most famous and place of
Paros. Through to its white pavements that are surrounded by traditional
houses and churches, you will go to the small harbour of Naousa. At its
entry are ruins of the Castle that was built in the 15th century by
Samaripas. The multicoloured small boats and the white houses make a
unique landscape.
At the
center of Paros is located the highest village of Paros, Lefkes. Its
white houses, the churches and the pavements are combined harmonically
with the eucalyptuses and the olive trees. There are the ancient
quarries of marble from which was made the famous statues Venus of Milos
and Hermis of Praxitelis. Marpisa and Dryos are two other villages of
Paros, worthy to be visited.

Interesting places

The Holy
Temple of Virgin Mary Ekatontapyliani, at Paroikia, that is said to have
taken its name from the one hundred gates that it had. The church is
built in traditional cycladic style.

where Manto Mavroyenous, a Greek heroin, died, at Paroikia.
The carved
places for the boats of ancient Paros, at the coastal Dryos.
The hundreds
of white churches that are scattered everywhere in the island, shows the
intense religious spirit of its residents.
Getting around
Paros Island
couldn't be easier - Many agencies hire
cars, motorbikes, scooters or bicycles and explore using the tarmac road
which takes you all around the island. If you prefer, sit back and enjoy
the ride by using the excellent air conditioned bus service, taxis or
privately organised coach trips. As you travel you will see tantalising
glimpses of village life, beautiful beaches, and on clear days
phenomenal views of distant islands as well as our beautiful
neighbouring islands of Naxos to the east and Antiparos to the west. A
major benefit of having a peripheral coast road circumnavigating the
island is easy access to every part of Paros. This enables travellers to
discover different places outside the towns and find their own favourite
part of the island. It could be a deserted cove, a special taverna, an
interesting festival, a small village resort or simply a view that takes
your breath away.
There is always something new to see and accommodation is never far
away. This natural dispersal of travellers means that paros rarely gives
the impression of being crowded.
