Paros, is consistently among the top three destinations for Greece (for Greek tourists as well) because it is an island that offers everything you need: sun and sea, with its beautiful beaches, leisure and summer sports (windsurfing, kite surfing, jet skiing, scuba etc..), restaurants and traditional Greek tavernas, shops and cafes, the flea markets and many nightclubs.
So it is for you to see what type of holiday you prefer and combine it according to your needs in order to make it your dream vacation…
The island of Paros is situated in the middle of the Cyclades island complex and between the islands of Naxos and Antiparos. It is among the major islands of the Aegean Sea (its surface is about 200 square km) in length with a coastline of 120 km of beaches!
The capital of Paros is Parikia village which lies west from the island. It is also the village which is the main port of the island where all the ferries arrive from Athens. The second largest village, but after all, much more beautiful, colorful and vivid than Parikia, is Naoussa which is located in the northern part of the island.
NAOUSSA VILLAGE
The village of Naoussa is also a small port and it is considered as one of the most beautiful villages of the Cyclades
The village of Naoussa is also a small port and it is considered as one of the most beautiful villages of the Cyclades.

The port of Naoussa makes you dream. Near the port there are also remains of a Venetian castle … Although Naoussa is much calmer than Parikia, bars and nightclubs abound. Naoussa is also famous for its beautiful beaches; you can take the small boat from the harbor towards the many golden sand beaches of the bay of Kolimbithyres, Agios Ioannis, Santa Maria…
The area which is undoubtedly the most beautiful, is the little port as there are many restaurants, cafes, bars and shops in the adjacent lanes. The port comes to life during the evening and offers a wide selection of bars where someone can enjoy a glass of wine at the seaside or dance to the beat of nightclubs that are located nearby…
