Paros

Mykonos's subtle sister, famed for white marble and whitewashed walls by an azure sea

There is no place like the Greek islands, each exuding its own unique charm. Paros offers the quintessential Greek island experience. Located in the heart of the Cyclades, this fisherman's paradise now attracts landlubbers. Paros combines all the necessary elements for a memorable vacation: captivating landscapes, heavenly beaches with turquoise waters, picturesque villages with whitewashed cube houses and colorful shutters framed with beautiful bougainvillea, traditional island flair, and a distinctive character. Since antiquity, Paros has been known for its fine white marble, which still draws artists seeking its renowned purity and transparency.

Parikia, Paros' primary port, is not only a ferry hub, but is also home to the impressive church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani (the Church of a Hundred Doors), one of Greece's main pilgrimage points. For a stellar summer experience, stroll along the harbor at sunset. Once a quaint fisherman's village, Naoussa is the place to be, offering a more laidback and affordable take on neighboring jet-set Mykonos. Naoussa houses narrow maze-like alleyways, cute shops, and a plethora of fish taverns serving fresh food. At night, the picturesque harbor, with its traditional fishing boats, offers a new side, thanks to its bustling nightlife.

Things to do in Paros

Paros' unspoiled landscape makes this island a paradise for nature lovers and hikers. The coastal beauty of Paros and the surrounding uninhabited islands is perhaps even more inviting. A Greek island experience isn’t complete without a boat trip. Spend the day snorkeling in the crystal clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea and explore coves only reachable by boat. The astonishing blue colors of the Greek sky and sea are impossible not to fall in love with.

Venture off for a day to the sister island of Antiparos, the secret hideaway of Hollywood stars, where Tom Hanks found his Greek paradise. The island’s raw charm and energy is absolutely striking. A visit to a local family-run sustainable farm promises a culinary journey like no other. The taste of raw ingredients paired with unparalleled sea views guarantees a rewarding experience.
