What to Do in Paros

Paros is one of the lesser known Greek Islands, but it is probably one of my favorites!

The new port and main town in Paros is Parikia. This is where the ferries come into, and where the main shopping and restaurants can be found.

Wander the little streets and do some shopping or try one of the great restaurants along the waterfront! You can also catch buses from here to the rest of the island.

One of the most idyllic Greek Villages I’ve ever seen is the Old Port of Naoussa! This little harbor reminds me of Mamma Mia! It is so picturesque and perfectly Greek that it looks like a movie set! Enjoy restaurants & cafes along the water, walk along the winding streets and browse the shops in this old port town.

Take a boat cruise around the lesser known Cyclades Islands of Antiparos & Despotiko! Explore sea caves and small islands and enjoy an amazing Greek lunch & drinks on board. This is a highly rated excursion and fills up fast! Reserve your spot here.

Lefkes is another old traditional village in Paros. Located on a hill, this town has a maze of narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional white-washed houses, and is fun to explore.

Take a Greek Cooking class, and learn how to make an authentic Greek meal! This is a once in a lifetime experience. Reserve your spot here.

Visit the Museum of Cycladic Folklore! This amazing museum was put together by an ordinary fisherman, who creates the most amazing handmade Greek miniature buildings & ships! For more information & opening hours, check out their website here.

Spend the day at one of Paros’s beaches! Here are some of the beaches that I recommend checking out – Kolympethres Beach, Lageri Beach, Golden Beach, Marcelo Beach, and Santa Maria Beach.

Take a full day sailboat ride over to the island of Naxos! This experience comes with lunch & is the best way to see another amazing Greek Island! Reserve your spot here before it fills up!
