The 10 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Paros, South Aegean

July 23, 2021 Viva Honore

There are beaches for everyone on Paros—families, partiers, watersports enthusiasts, honeymooners. Anyone can find their perfect stretch of golden sand. The same breeze that rustles orange and pomegranate trees will power your kitesurfing or windsurfing session. In the capital city of Parikia, make sure to pay your respects at the Byzantine "church of 100 doors" (Panagia Ekatontapillani) and visit the seaside ruins of a medieval castle built from the marble remains of an ancient temple.

We had the most amazing time on our sunrise tour at Kokou riding. The centre has a great vibe and the owners and workers/volunteers are all very friendly and passionate about all the horses. We were matched perfectly with a horse suitable for our riding ability and confidence. The sunrise tour was magical, very worth the early start. We started with a walk towards the beach, with a few opportunities to trot and canter if you wished. The swimming was incredible! the horses are really brave and it was so so fun! we did races in the water and they made it really enjoyable and a memorable experience. You then travel through countryside and along the coastline, enjoying beautiful scenery. We finished with a gallop across the field back to the centre which was a perfect end to the trip. We then stayed a while to pet and feed the horses which was great. They also offered free photographs with the trip which is nice touch as you can leave all your valuables at the centre. we would highly recommend Kokou to anyone visiting Paros, worth the price and an activity you won’t forget. Thanks in particular to our french tour leader who made it extra fun!

Folklore Art Museum Of Cycladic Civilization Benetos & Popi Skiadas.

Benetos Skiadas, an ordinary fisherman, managed to revive the Greek Tradition by creating his unique, functional and hand made miniatures using materials only from the Cycladic land. And all these without making any draft or using any scientific instruments. He created them only by using the divine gifts with which he was born; observation, perception, passion for creativity.The result is excellent and all the miniatures function in a perfect way. All his memories and personal experiences were strongly impressed on his mind and prompted him - with the help of his skillful hands– to revive the tradition and his dreams.The visitor can admire a all types of Greek ships such as warships, merchant ships and fishing boats which give you the impression that they are ready to sail. Gri-gri, drift-boats, steamships, sailing boats, triremes are all constructed with the traditional shipbuilding and are exact replicas of the genuine models. Open every day, 1 April - 30 Oct/ 10.00-14.00.

I enjoyed riding with Thanasis farm so much I made a repeat visit. Great horses, great attention to all riders including catering to all levels even in mixed groups (they took me off separately from a less experienced group for a great gallop, to make sure I had a great ride). The horses are well trained and kept, they are responsive, with personality. Swimming with the horses was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Thanasis Farm if you are looking for excellent riding on Paros.
