Paros
Paros is a destination for everyone! Contrary to Mykonos, that is dry in most parts, Paros is more colorful. Bougainvillaeasin bloom, eucalyptus trees laying over whitewashed yards, small alleyways and white buildings, built with the famous Parian marble that was used to sculpt masterpieces like the Venus of Milos, are among the things that will make you fall in love with this island.
Also, the beaches in Paros will not disappoint. You can find both organized and more isolated beaches to enjoy your swim. When you feel hungry you can visit Paroikia or the renowned fishing village of Naoussa or even some of its charming and scenic villages, to try some local food recipes with fish, such as gouna, and local meat. We suggest that you accompany your meal souma, Paros’ traditional alcoholic beverage.
