Paros was mostly nice for its villages. The organized beaches were many and water was very clean, but I believe you can find better beaches in other Greek islands (Crete, for example).
But the villages of Paros were great: nice colour, cosmopolitan atmosphere, busy life. I think the best Cycladic villages are on Paros. Naoussa especially, which is a great place to relax. Wonderful, clean and picturesque. Parikia on the other side is busier. It has a nice centre but unfortunately, it is too loud and dirty along the harbour. It was also somehow difficult to get a table in a tavern in Parikia because they were always crowded.
Greek food, though, was simple and good. Service was on a high level and friendly. Table menus are available in English and it's easy for tourists to choose their dishes.
