Parikia is the capital of the island as well as the island's main harbour, from where regular ferries, high-speed catamarans and Flying Dolphins serve most of the other Greek islands.
The lovely town of Parikia is located in one of the two bays of Paros, the second one being Naoussa, a picturesque village with a tiny, lovely harbour. Naoussa is the perfect holiday location.
