There are not many famous historic monuments and the island isn't exceptional in its nature. Anyway, the beaches were lovely. There were both crowded ones, but around the corner there were also lonely beaches. The villages were beautiful with all the alleys and old, typical greek buildings. Naoussa was fantastic with buildings practically on the water. Also the nightlife there was over the top, with bars and nightclubs going strong during the whole night. The Greek food on this island is well preserved. I didn't go to a single restaurant where they served fries and burgers. The fish restaurants in Naoussa are fantastic and a must for greekfood lovers are the zucchini balls that was served on all restaurants. We also found a great, hidden little star restaurant about 5 km outside of Parikia, next to the Paroskite center. That restaurant was obviously well known for its great variation of wines and marvelous food. (Tom Cruise and other celebrities have flown in to Paros just to visit this restaurant). So, if you love greekfood that has not been over exposed, Paros is the place to experience it.
