What to do and see in Paros, South Aegean: The Best Things to do
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.

Topical Cycladic village. Extremely clean and friendly. I highly recommend a visit in the early morning if you are in Páros. Don’t forget to visit the cafe by the big church and meet Konstantinos the owner.. he serves the best lemonade in town. Truly a gem.

A friendly city which was more convenient for me to stay than picturesque and laid-back Nauousa The ancient city has everything, historical buildings, narrow charming streets, lovely taverns with great traditional Greek fare or fresh sea catches and sandy beaches around. The port just in the city center as well as main bus station to take you around the island, the airport not far away. The time does fly so quickly, its relax here, especially after the sunset. And I felt very safe at night while strolling the Frankish Castle area.

Visited with the family yesterday. I came 2 years ago and wanted them to experience it. Doesn’t disappoint. Great choices. You can pick from a selection of wines and types. Thanos was very knowledgeable and enhanced the trip. Will go again for a different selection. We bought quite a few bottles but there is no pressure to do so.

A protected seaside area of 80 hectares with a network of walking trails, impressive rock formations, caves, hidden coves, beaches & traces of history. Paros Park has an outdoor amphitheater and runs the summer Festival at the Park, with concerts & plays. There's also a free open-air cinema by the sea with summer film showings. At the central beach, there is a cafe & water sport facilities. The renovated monk cells of Ai Yiannis Detis monastery, hosts a permanent historic exhibition entitled "The Island of Paros through Russian cartography between 1770 and 1774". The chapel of the monastery and the catering facilities of the beach-bar make weddings at the Park a privileged choice.

Great day activity is to choose one of the paths that meanders around the park and soak in the nature and the best sights of paros looking back. After your walk cool off by dipping into the crystal clear waters at one of the wilder beaches at the end. Perfect!

Premise: if you want an easy accessible beach equipped with parking, umbrellas, bars, toilets, music and / or you are against obvious nudism and homosexuality, then don't go to Lageri. Otherwise, this is undoubtedly the most beautiful beach I have visited in Paros. The water is super clean and calm even in windy days, the sand is soft and white, although some little stones and rocks are spread here and there. Natural shadow is provided by some bushes and trees that go occupied very soon, so better if you bring with you an umbrella or a tent is you care of sun burns. Being the beach totally unattended, bringing own food, water and other personal stuff is mandatory. Behind the beach there are several sandy dunes too, quite rare environment in Paros to my concerns. The local government seems to keep the environment clean but unfortunately visitor stupidity may lead to see some left papers or plastic but overall I found it to be a clean place. To reach Lageri by car, I suggest to set your navigator to drive you to a tiny and pitoresque white church nearby: you won't get there as you will have to park the car (but quads and bikes too as the first 50m of the path is 50cm wide) few dozens of meters before the church, not a real parking, just leave your car where others left their on the dirty road, for your convenience I used to park at coordinates 37.132888,25.270039 on Google Maps. It is then necessary to walk for about ten minutes on a dirt and rocky path till you get to the sandy line, walking is anyway pretty safe even with flip flops, but sneakers can be a better option. Highly recommended to visit Lageri in the morning, you will have more shades from trees, better sea view colors and obviously less crowd and a more convenient parking place.

This beach was for me the best in Paros. It's very beautiful with the rocks all the way around, but still sandy. The water is super nice, not deep, clear and clean. Easily accessible by bus and water taxi from the Naousa port. Hi Bigla is a perfect tavern for a lunch dorung your beach day. There is a guy to whom you can order cocktails, sandwitches, etc on the beach.

Stayed in Paros for a week, end of May and were lucky enough to choose this beach out of all the beaches on the Island to go to first day, it was so perfect, clear water and soft white sand, we had beds in front of the beach bar which we didn't have to pay for, we had a gorgeous lunch there both days. The first day the water was calm but the second day was even more fun as there were great waves and we had even more fun in the sea. Loved this beach and will certainly be back for a longer stay next time.
