We went to Paros two years ago (summer 2003) and we stayed in the lovely village called Naoussa. It is truly beautiful and much quieter than Parikia (capital of the island). The village has been built around a picturesque port where little multicoloured fishing boats are mooring and creating a unique atmosphere. The beaches of the island are astonishing and the water is incredibly clear. Some beaches propose desk chairs and umbrellas and others are free of any structure or facility; in a few words, there are beaches for every taste.
The main town of Paros, Parikia, is also attractive but it is quite crowded and seems less authentic. Most of the famous nightlife of the island take place in its capital but Naoussa also has some nice bars, cafes and night clubs. If you decide to go to Naoussa, it is better to rent a car because the village is at 10 kilometres away from the main town; the patient ones can use the bus.
Have a nice trip and we hope that you will enjoy Paros as much as we did.
