In which town house in Paros?

Where to sleep in Paros to visit the third largest island in the Cyclades? Discover what city to stay in Paros!

World renowned for its traditional beaches and villages, the island of Paros is the main maritime hub and the third largest island in the Cyclades. With a total area of 196,755 km2, Paros is home to a population of only 12,853 permanent inhabitants, but grows when the summer season is full. We go there for the beauty of its beaches, its lively ports, its typical landscape, its picturesque villages lined with blue and white, the water activities it allows, its historical and cultural heritage and the beauty of its architecture. In addition, prices to stay in Paros are lower than those of its neighbors Mykonos or Santorini.

As often on the islands, it is recommended to rent a car to radiate freely between Parikia, Naoussa, Lefkès, Aliki, Piso Livadi, Pounta or Ampelas. We can stay in Paros in many small villages, each offering different atmospheres. Here's no more time to stay in Paros.

Parikia

The capital is the main port of arrival of the ferry and tourists in Paros. The hotels where to sleep in Paros are numerous as the hordes of tourists who arrive to put the alleys in photo. We will arrive at the lively port of Parikia, which we will flee from the hustle, to explore a very charming and picturesque old town. The Kastro, a Venetian castle of the 13th century, the church of the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, beaches and hotels where to stay in Parikia city center and along the coast, before arriving at the coves of Agios Fokas.

Naoussa

Naoussa is a small fishing village located north of Paros Island. You will be charmed by the bright white facades of the alleys. Beware that the village is very crowded, prices to stay in Naoussa can climb up in the summer. Gentrification forced by mass tourism requires, the docks of the fishing port are gradually replaced by lounge bars and restaurants, hotels and pensions. Not far, enjoy the rocks of Kolimbithres to refresh you in a very clear water.

Piso Livadi

We take the road to the south to stop at the village of Piso Livadi, southeast of the island. It is actually the third resort of Paros, surrounded by beautiful beaches of fine sand and hot water almost as in a bathtub. Although the village is frequented, the atmosphere of the city is quieter than in the north of the island and remains a family home. A few kilometers south, make a jump at Golden Beach, described as one of the largest and one of the most beautiful beaches of Paros, with crystalline water, clear as rock water. Choose to stay in Piso Livadi if you aspire to be in contact with the local population or if you run the tourist tumult of Parikia.

Lefkès

Between Parikia and Piso Livadi, is located in the center of the island, the village of Lefkès: perched at 200 meters of altitude on the heights of the interior of the land, Lefkès houses only 765 inhabitants. During its history, the village once occupied a defensive position. We will not fail to take a look or visit the church of the Holy Trinity, a marble building of Paros, bright and flamboyant. Be careful, think to book in advance since it is a small village, there may not be a room available to stay in Lefkès if you come “improvist”.

Aliki

Last village where to stay in Paros: Aliki, south of the island. Many hotels – in proportion – are located there (not miss the Musée du folklore des Cyclades) in the middle of a large number of bars, restaurants, beaches and sumptuous coves. Here, find one of the more beautiful beaches of Paros .
