Kolybithres and Santa Maria, featuring an upbeat beach bar, are two renowned swimming locations. Paros’s early development as one of Greece’s first tourist islands, in the 1960s and 70s, was not coincidental. The island’s marvelous coastline is filled with a succession of wide, sandy beaches. The villages of Lefkes and Marpissa are quaint, while the south, where locales are graced by fishermen, fishing boats and children roaming about freely while at play, is unpretentious and picturesque.

Many of its beaches are vibrant and adventurous, while others are quiet and detached. The island’s tourism product is highly developed in Parikia, the island’s capital and main port, and slightly more cosmopolitan in Naousa.

Perennially hospitable, Paros, one of the more seasoned Cycladic islands with an extensive tourism past, is also multifaceted in a fascinating way.
