Paros is a\u00a0popular destination<\/strong>\u00a0both in the Cyclades and throughout Greece. The island of Paros is located in the\u00a0center of the Cyclades cluster<\/strong>, between Naxos and Antiparos. It is a destination for both\u00a0young people<\/strong>\u00a0seeking\u00a0entertainment<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0organized beaches<\/strong>, as well as for\u00a0families<\/strong>\u00a0looking for more\u00a0secluded options<\/strong>.
Paros is one of the larger islands of the Cyclades and attracts both\u00a0young people<\/strong>\u00a0seeking fun and\u00a0families and couples<\/strong>. The capital of Paros is Parikia, also known as Chora, which is the island\u2019s main port.<\/p>

A hallmark of the island is the\u00a0Church of Panagia Ekatontapyliani<\/strong>, an impressive complex located in Parikia, which, according to tradition, was built by Emperor\u00a0Constantine the Great<\/strong>.
Above Parikia, the\u00a0Hill of the Castle (Kastro)<\/strong>\u00a0dominates, hosting the remnants of the Venetian fortifications. The castle was built in the 13th century by\u00a0Marco Sanudo<\/strong>\u00a0to ensure the city\u2019s defensive protection.<\/p>

What to Do<\/strong><\/p>

Paros, along with Naxos, is the number one destination for surfers. On many beaches, such as\u00a0Chrissi Akti (Golden Beach), New Golden Beach, Tsoukalia, Santa Maria<\/strong>, and\u00a0Punda<\/strong>, you will find professional and amateur surfers riding the waves and strong winds. If you\u2019d like to try it yourself, you can contact one of the schools found on the beaches.
Paros is also famous for its excellent cheeses and select varieties of vineyards, including the red\u00a0Mandilaria<\/strong>\u00a0and white\u00a0Monemvasia<\/strong>. You must try xinomizithra and ladotyri cheeses, and accompany your meze with \u201csouma,\u201d a type of tsipouro produced in Paros, instead of ouzo. As you leave, we recommend buying wine from a local winery.<\/p>

Where to Go<\/strong><\/p>

Parikia is built on the northwestern side of Paros in a\u00a0picturesque bay<\/strong>. Chora is beautiful and charming, with its narrow cobbled streets and\u00a0white-washed houses<\/strong>. Here, you will find hotels, tourist offices, car rentals, shops, and more. In the greater area of Chora, you\u2019ll find\u00a0the most important archaeological monuments of Paros<\/strong>, including the Archaic cemetery, the sanctuary of Asclepius and Pythian Apollo, remains of Hellenistic period houses, and a pottery workshop from the Hellenistic period.
Just 10 kilometers from Paros lies\u00a0Naoussa<\/strong>, a bustling tourist resort and a unique seaside destination. The town is built around the\u00a0picturesque harbor<\/strong>\u00a0and is a\u00a0true gem<\/strong>\u00a0for Paros and the entire Cyclades. Many choose it as their place of stay.
Paros has\u00a0several beaches<\/strong>\u00a0to suit all tastes and moods. Depending on what you\u2019re looking for in a beach, you can choose either a quiet, unorganized one or an organized beach with beach bars and\u00a0water sports<\/strong>. The most famous beaches in Paros are Livadia, Kolymbithres, Chrissi Akti (Golden Beach), Monastiri, and Punda.<\/p>
