Learn more about hotels in Paros

Paros, one of the central islands of the picturesque Cyclades group, is situated about 150 km southeast of Piraeus in the heart of the Aegean Sea. Its close proximity to Naxos, its larger neighbour, is signalled by the narrow strait running between them. The island covers an expansive 196.308 square kilometres, including an intriguing cluster of offshore, uninhabited islets belonging to the Municipality of Paros.

The island boasts a deep-rooted history, stretching back to when it was a flourishing Greek city-state, through its time as an Athenian colony and member of the Delian league. In later years, Paros fell under both Venetian and Ottoman rule before finally becoming part of the modern Kingdom of Greece. One remnant of its illustrious past is the island's famed white marble, once a symbol of its wealth, which can still be admired in abandoned quarries dotted around the island.

Paros is more than just a history lover's paradise though-- its coast is fringed by sublime beaches like Golden Beach on the east coast, drawing sun-seekers and water sport enthusiasts in equal measure. With strong winds rippling across the strait between Paros and Naxos, the island is the ideal destination for windsurfing. Add to that the traditional Cycladic architecture seen in Parikia, the bustling capital of Paros, and you have all the ingredients for an unforgettable holiday.

When to visit Paros

Paros is particularly enchanting during the summer months, with warm temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C and minimal precipitation to mar the sunny skies. The island hums with energy during the high season of July and August, when crowds descend upon the island to bask in its lively ambience and partake in an array of activities.

For those seeking more tranquil climes, the shoulder season – spring, early summer, and autumn – is a wonderful alternative. Soak in the pleasant weather and immerse yourself in local events, experiencing the lesser-known and more authentic side of Paros. Whether it’s a sailing trip around the island's picturesque inlets, watersports on its glistening beaches, or guided tours through its captivating historical sites, Paros promises a diverse range of activities to keep you enthralled year-round.
