Naoussa's fishing harbour, a golden kitesurfing beach, and marble heritage in the Cyclades.
Paros is a gem of the Cyclades that has it all — whitewashed architecture, the kitesurfing paradise of Golden Beach, the lively fishing harbour of Naoussa, the historic capital Parikia, and the Butterfly Valley. Without the mass-market struggle of Santorini or Mykonos, Paros offers a more authentic taste of Greek island life.
