right in the center of the cyclades, the island of Paros is a valuable holiday destination for its phenomenal beaches and cute cycladic villages with snow white houses.

About

Parikia, the main port, is a knot of streets twisted under a castle made of marble reused from an ancient temple, while the small fishing port in Naousa is one of the cutest scenes in Cyclades.

Paros is synonymous for high quality marble that has been extracted here in ancient times, used for roof tiles and emblematic sculptures like Nike from Samotracia and Venus Medici.

The beaches of the Paros are almost too good for words, bathed by shallow waters of shades ranging from turquoise to royal blue.

In the capital there is an early Christian miracle, the church Panagia Ekatontapilians founded by Saint Elena 1,700 years ago.
