The Best Things to Do in Paros | Greece

A wonderful Cycladic island called Paros is two ferry rides away from Santorini and three from Athens. The best things about Paros are its superb beaches, wonderful nightlife, and renowned white-washed towns. The magnificent beaches, glorious hinterland villages, and Mykonos, with its trendy clubs and restaurants, are great parts of Paros you should add to your vacation tour packages. The single way to reach Antiparos, a tiny and more isolated island directly west of Paros, is via ferry from Paros.

Paros Park, an 800-acre park at the island's northwest tip, has something special for everyone. It includes an outdoor movie theatre with free entry that starts at 9:00 p.m., bustling, beautiful, and quiet beaches, a former monastery that is now a museum of cartography, hiking trails, an all-day cafe, a stunning rocky landscape, an old amphitheatre that hosts events and festivals, and a picturesque lighthouse.

During the summertime, sun loungers and beach umbrellas are available for hire in Monastiri, and there is a lifeguard on duty in July and August. The park is open every day of the year, 24 hours a day, and admission is free. You may get to Paros Park by water taxi from Naoussa Port, by bus, or by car. You shouldn’t miss this spot in your affordable holiday packages.

Kolymbithres Beach, with its lunar-like granite rock formations sculpted over millennia by the water and wind, is the most popular natural attraction in Paros. Kolymbithres, which is situated in a southeast-facing bay, is separated into two major beaches, each of which offers a laid-back beach club that rents out umbrellas and sun loungers.

Try to reach here before the masses, so you can simply claim your very own tiny private beach because the rocks again divide these beaches into even tiny portions. In addition to renting and training for windsurfing and small sailboats, there is a sailing centre at the southern end of the beach that also offers kayak and SUP rentals. From the Old Port of Naoussa, you can go to Kolymbithres Beach by bus, car, or with a superb water taxi journey. Your vacation tour packages must include this spot to enjoy with your loved ones.

The Church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani, also known as the Church of 100 Doors, is a wonder and one of Greece's most beautiful churches. It dates back to the fourth century A.D. The first chapel is thought to have been established by St. Helene, and after her passing, her son, Emperor Constantine, enlarged it into a monastery and grander church. In the sixth century, Emperor Justinian built a dome. The complex, which has stood the test of time, shows amazing works of architecture and art from Paleochristian, Byzantine, and post-Byzantine times. Several materials employed in its construction came from the marble remains of even ancient temples.

In the opinion of a legend, the cathedral has 99 magnificent doors and a 100th door that shows after the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul returns to Orthodoxy. Do you know? The church doesn't have close to 99 doors. The complex's tiny Byzantine Museum of Paros houses priceless religious artifacts, relics, and rare icons, most of which date to the 17th–18th centuries. In Parikia, Panagia Ekatontapiliani is a 5-minute stroll from the Parikia bus stop and a 3-minute stroll southeast of the ferry port. Don’t miss adding this spot to your affordable holiday packages.

The small, walkable village of Naoussa, which is surrounded by magnificent beaches in a natural harbor, mixes Cycladic tradition with modern refinement. In its sparkling Old Port, fishing boats bob in the water adjacent to a partially submerged Venetian fortress, which you must explore with your loved ones.

Stunning dome-shaped churches, superb restaurants, amazing boutiques, the best cocktail bars, a winery, and all-night dance clubs can be discovered inside the village's maze of cobblestone roads. Piperaki, Piperi, and Agii Anargyrii are three swimmable, sunny beaches you must add to your next Greece tour package.

Naoussa, a renowned getaway for Athenians, has kept its Greek identity despite its global reputation. On the northern side of the island, Naoussa is about 9 kilometers from Parikia's ferry port and 20 kilometers from the airport.

It’s the main, large village and the capital of Paros. The ferry port situated here is where visitors to the island come and go. The major popular landmarks of the majority of Paros include the Archaeological Museum, the Frankish Castle Ruins, and Panagia Ekatontapiliani, situated in Parikia, which served as the island's primary harbor and commercial center for centuries. The town also has a lot of lively bars, boutiques, craft studios, and amazing restaurants, many of which present vistas of the setting sun over the sea.

Similar to Naoussa, the port of Parikia is covered by beaches on both sides, with Marcello and Livadia wrapping around to the north, a tiny, unnamed beach to the west, and Parasporos and Delfini Beaches at the westernmost edge.

A mix of neat, ancient neoclassical mansions and whitewashed Cycladic villas, a design preferred by the Venetian ancestors who once controlled the island, make up its architecture. About 10 kilometers from the airport and 9 kilometers from Naoussa, Parikia is situated in an astounding harbor on the northwest coast of the island. We offer the most affordable holiday packages that will thrill your heart.

On Paros' east coast, Kalogeros, also known as the Mud Beach, is a tranquil beach hidden in a tiny cove beneath massive boulders. The cliffs on Kalogeros' eastern side distinguish it from other nearby beaches, despite sharing the same sand and pebble shoreline and clear blue ocean.

A clay can be found here that is very useful to create the gray cliffs and has the qualities of exfoliating and soothing. Don’t forget to bring your favorite snacks and items because Kalogeros lacks eateries and spots to rent sun loungers. For a sandier, more typical beach experience, head north to Molos Beach, which is only a 5-minute walk away. Don’t miss this spot on your vacation tour packages to Paros.

Other main attractions in Paros are Naxos, Naoussa old port, Lefkes, Moraitis winery, windsurfing and kitesurfing, Antiparos, Santa Maria beach, fishing villages, the archaeological museum of Paros, nightlife, dining, Frankish Castle, and Butterflies Valley.
