Paros The travel insider
The island of Paros is an endless source of wonders to feed your inner wanderlust, a vibrant destination surrounded by the shifting shades of blue of the Aegean Archipelago.
Uncountable hidden beaches and coves give the feel of swimming in private beach, perhaps most enjoyable in late spring and early autumn. The island is every bit of typical Cycladic character, casting a bright light in every little corner and although Paros shares tremendous popularity and intense thrills, the sophisticated manner of elegant simplicity is dominant, providing high-class services and exclusive accommodation integrated with local spirit.
The sophisticated manner of elegant simplicity is dominant.
The extraction and trade of marble supported the economy of Paros during all historical periods, as it was sought after for its clarity and transparency, "giving flesh" to the greatest masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture.
Paros is also a place of great interest for the lovers of Byzantine architecture; 450 omnipresent blue-domed churches inside and outside settlements is something very unique.
