Write a review on Paros
Overview Paros is one of the larger islands of the Cyclades and is
becoming a popular holiday spot as a spillover from the busier
islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Its main drawcards are good sandy
beaches and old world traditional fishing villages, which come with
reasonably priced hotels and a vibrant nightlife. Paros claims to
be the windsurfing capital of Greece, and kitesurfing and scuba
diving are also popular watersports.
Paros island's main port is Parikia, which has a ruined Venetian
castle and an impressive Byzantine church among its white-washed
buildings, and a couple of lively jazz clubs. The resort town of
Naoussa on the north coast is close to the island's best beaches
and the majority of its nightlife centred around the waterfront.
Lefkes, in the centre of the island, has a number of tavernas along
its pretty winding streets. On a separate island section, known as
Antiparos and separated from the larger section by a channel, is an
interesting chapel cavern and more lovely beaches.
