Description of Paros
Located in the centre of Cyclades, Aegean Sea, Paros is a lovely island with traditional character. One of the most popular Greek islands, Paros is famous for its gorgeous beaches, the vivid nightlife and the picturesque architecture.
The busiest village on Paros is the capital,
Parikia, with also serves as the main port of the island. With developed tourist facilities and surrounded by amazing beaches, Parikia becomes very popular in summer. The nice shopping streets, the quaint neighbourhood of Kastro, the seaside cafeterias and the picturesque windmills add to its charm. The organized beaches of Krios and Parasporos are located in close distance to Parikia and attract many visitors.
The second most popular spot of Paros is
Naoussa, on the northern side of the island. A picturesque village with notable architecture and a nice port for fishing boats and yachts, Naoussa has vivid nightlife and many relaxing beaches in the region, such as Kolimbithres and Ampelas.
Other popular beaches are located on the eastern side of Paros. Pounta, Golden Beach, Logaras and Piso Livadi get busy for the crystal water, the soft sand and the beach bars that stay open all day and night. Many water sports centers also have their base in these beaches. In fact, Golden Beach is the best windsurfing spot on the island and the world cups of windsurfing and kite boarding take place there every year.
As busy and organized the coastline of Paros may be, the inland is however pretty secluded and stays away from tourism. Tiny villages with traditional architecture, such as
Lefkes,
Marpissa and
Prodromos, spring up here and there in the countryside of Paros. Vineyards and fruit trees create a colorful landscape and small chapels with white walls and blue domes are seen on the rocks above the sea.
