The beautiful Cycladic island of Paros has it all for tourists. Paros is one of the most popular Greek Islands, partly because it is so well positioned for you to visit other islands such as Mykonos, Santorini and Naxos, to name but a few. However, before you go island hopping you can spend happy days exploring picturesque coastal villages like the post-card perfect Naoussa and lovely Lefkes. There are pristine beaches to explore, where you can soak up the sun, swim in the warm clear waters of the Aegean Sea and indulge in a wide variety of water sports including snorkeling and scuba diving. The port city of Parikia is the place to go for vibrant nightlife and a large selection of restaurants and bars.
