Welcome to Paros, Greece???????? Is it the Best Greek Island? Things to do in Paros & Antiparos
We spend a day exploring the town of Parikia in Paros, as well as the island of Antiparos, Greece to find out the best things to do! The islands can be found in southern Greece and are part of the Cyclades islands.
We started our day exploring the town of Parikia, walking around it’s beautiful white washed streets to see the class cyclades buildings. We walked around the Frankish Castle and also visited the old church called Panagia Ekatontapiliani.
Paros is known for being relatively chic so we walked around to window shop at the boutiques.
We then make our way to the waterfront area to check out the local beaches and walk along the promenade.
Here we pick up a bus that takes us to another town to take a ferry to the small neighbouring island of Antiparos (FYI- Tom Hanks has a house here- watch the video to see if we meet him!).
In Antiparos we take the drone up to get great views over the town, hit up the lagoon like beach next to the main town, and explore the beautiful streets. Antiparos is known for being even more chic than Paros and you can notice it in it’s beautiful boutiques and restaurants.

Parikia is also famous for its vivid nightlife, which makes it along with Naoussa village, the two busiest tourist resorts of Paros.
Frankish Castle:
Perched atop the highest point of Pairikia is the Frankish castle, built in the 13th century. It was constructed in 1260 by Marcus Sanudus, who had conquered, along with Crusaders of Venetian origin, the Cyclades as well as other parts of Greece, and established the Duchy of the Aegean Sea, based in Naxos. Nowadays, only one of the castle walls remains. The material used for its construction was taken from ancient sites that existed nearby, such as the temple of goddess Athena, the protector of the ancient town of Paros.
Panagia Ekatontapiliani:
Panagia Katapoliani is a historic Byzantine church complex in Parikia town, on the island of Paros in Greece. The church complex contains a main chapel surrounded by two more chapels and a baptistery with a cruciform font.

The capital Antiparos is on the north eastern coast, while the other villages Kambos and Agios Georgios are in the mid-west and on the south western coast, respectively.

Sailing from Sikinos
Cool dude and his girlfriend playing in the wake of the rather old but charming Ag. Georgios, I was heading back to Pireaus and NYC and they were still clearly having fun in the Aegean, I was so jealous!

Sailing Through Greece: Cyclades E19 Amorgos
Next episode: Cyclades, E20 Kythnos
This episode: Cyclades, E19 from Santorini we sail to Schinoussa and to Amorgos with the meltemi. Schinoussa lies south of the island of Naxos, The population was 256 inhabitants at the 2011 census, since the 11th century the island has been the property of the Hozoviotissa Monastery on the nearby island of Amorgos. It owes its name to the mastic tree shrub that grows all over the island.The landscape has low green hills and small valleys between them, with many sandy beaches with turquoise water sparkling under the hot sun. Livadi Beach is located on the southwestern coast of the island and is just 850m from the town of Chora.
Throughout history, Amorgos was also known as Yperia, Patagy, or Platagy, Pagali, Psichia and Karkisia. It features a lot of remnants of ancient civilizations. . Amorgos is distinguished by the size and quality of the walls surrounding the city of Arkesini, by the ancient towers whose remains are scattered all over the island, by the ancient tombs, the stone tools, the inscriptions, the vases and by other antiquities. The island was featured in Luc Besson's film The Big Blue. Agia Anna and the monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa can be seen in the film. Katapola, one of Amorgos' two harbours, is a small, vibrant community, drenched in the cycladic sun. Its waterfront is lined with cafes, tavernas and moorings for fishing boats and visiting sailing boats. On the hill above Katapola, the excavations of the ancient city of Minoa are of great interest to the visitor as they provide the thread to a continuous 3000 year existence. Next to Katapola, you find the small hamlet of Rahidi, dominated by the large church of Agios Georgios. The most picturesque part of the bay is the hamlet of Ksilokeratidi, opposite Katapola, with its pretty narrow streets and its traditional tavernas.
The Meltemi are the strong, dry north winds of the Aegean Sea, which blow from about mid-May to mid-September.They are at their strongest in the afternoon and often die down at night, but sometimes meltemi winds last for days without a break. . These winds are dangerous to sailors because they can come up in clear weather without warning and can blow at 7-8 Beaufort. Some yachts and most inter island ferries cannot sail under such conditions. The Cyclades comprise about 220 islands, the major ones being Amorgos, Anafi, Andros, Antiparos, Delos, Eschati, Ios, Kea, Kimolos,Kythnos, Milos, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Folegandros, Serifos, Sifnos, Sikinos, Syros, Tinos, and Thira or Santoríni. The name Cyclades refers to the islands forming a circle (circular islands) around the sacred island of Delos. Most of the smaller islands are uninhabited.
Meltemi and Prassa beach, Kimolos
Prassas beach, in the north end Kimolos, is also known as Agios Georgios and it is a very attractive place - small white pebbles and vivid blue water. You can also hear the Meltemi wind gusts. The beach is partially secluded but the trees are waiving from from the strong winds.
