Paros is one of the most rewarding islands in the Cyclades -- whitewashed villages, excellent beaches, a proud marble heritage, and a lively but never overwhelming atmosphere. The capital Parikia has everything a first-time visitor needs: ferry connections, hotels for all budgets, the ancient Ekatontapiliani church, and a Venetian kastro above the old town. North of the island, the fishing village of Naoussa is the most picturesque base, with boutique hotels and the best restaurants. Golden Beach on the southeast coast is the windsurfing capital of the Aegean. Choosing the right base shapes your entire Paros experience.
