2. Kolymbithres Beach
This beach is beautifully embedded in small bays surrounded by beautiful rocks as seen in pictures from Seychelles. Very gentle waves, also ideal for children. And because boats are constantly bringing visitors, it quickly gets crowded.
3. Old Port of Naoussa
The port of Naoussa is one of those places that really look like postcards. The atmosphere here is relaxing and you can quickly get lost in the charming streets with elegant and traditional shops. An absolute highlight on this island and on the entire Cyclades. Great photo opportunities on every corner.
4. Parikia Town
A super nice town with lots of small alleys to stroll through. The old town of Parikia seemed very authentic and picturesque. Everything is clean and in addition to the very well-kept sights, there are many beautiful alleys and hidden things to discover. This is how you imagine Greece.
5. Santa Maria Beach
Santa Maria is a beautiful beach north of the island of Paros with clear water. A stop on this beach is a must, there are various possibilities for entertainment including snorkeling, windsurfing, water games, etc.

A nice wine tasting accompanied by good food. The winery is definitely worth a visit. And if you had previously enjoyed local wine on Paros, it is often from this winery. The explanations are in different languages including English.
7. Panagia Ekatondapiliani
Incredibly impressive cathedral built around a small, very well preserved 4th century Byzantine church. Probably one of the oldest churches in Greece. This is particularly beautifully built with the gray and white Parian marble. The cathedral itself also has an impressive interior with other icons. A candle is lit and a small donation is left. Observe proper clothing when you go here.
8. Martselo beach
Martselo Beach is very close to the capital of the island and the port, with easy access either by road or by boat. It is a large sandy beach with some tamarisk trees, sunbeds with umbrellas in some places, and clear blue waters. Nice beach for the windy days of the island.
9. Folklore Art Museum Of Cycladic Civilization Benetos & Popi Skiadas
The lovingly designed miniature museum, which represents the life’s work of Benetos Skiadas and is continued by his daughter. Each of the exhibits was made with great attention to detail. The structures, ships, and sights of the Greek island have been meticulously built with amazing details from natural materials by the owner of the museum.
10. Lageri beach

If you like it quiet and natural, this is the place for you. However, the way to the beach is not for the disabled as it is not so easily accessible. Since the beach is very long, it is great for a walk on the shore. No infrastructure, therefore fewer visitors.
