Paros is one of the most attractive islands of the Cyclades, offering historical sights, picturesque Greek towns and numerous sandy beaches. Rolling hills, famous for their marble, and the clear, turquoise-blue sea are characteristic for the landscape. Parikia is the capital of the island and has been built on the same spot as the ancient town. Coming in from the sea and arriving at the harbour of Parikia is a sight to behold: towered by the ruins of the Venetian fortress, snow-white houses hide between a sea of flowers.
Getting there: flight to Athens, connecting flight to Paros or speed boat or ferry to Parikia
