Welcome to Paros, Greece
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.

Paros in Greece is among the most popular islands of Cyclades. Located in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Paros island is ideal for young people, romantic couples and families, too. The Parian traditional villages, particularly Naoussa, Parikia and Lefkes, are perfect samples of Cycladic architecture, with whitewashed sugar houses, paved streets and blue-domed churches. The beaches are famous for the exotic water and the golden sand. The beaches on the south eastern side, such as Golden Beach and New Golden Beach, are particularly popular for windsurfing.
Parikia: This is the beautiful capital of Paros, Parikia is a beautiful village with whitewashed cubic houses, impressive neoclassical mansions narrow cobbled paths, the old churches, the small shops and the houses in blue and white. Parikia is today one of the most popular and busiest spot of the island, as its cafeterias and restaurants along the waterfront attract many visitors. 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.
Antiparos:
Antiparos is a small Greek island in the Cyclades group, seperated from Paros by a narrow and shallow strait. It has an area of 45 square kilometers with a 57 kilometer coastline. 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. The islands houses just over 1,000 inhabitants. Antiparos is well recognised for its relaxed, authentic atmosphere. It has many beaches on all sides and offer a nice alternative to the more crowded and hectic islands around it.

A Tour of Lovely Little Antiparos Island, Greece
Αντίπαρος Antiparos Greek Islands Travel Tour Guide
Η Αντίπαρος (αρχ. Ωλίαρος) είναι μικρό βραχώδες κατοικημένο νησί του Νοτίου Αιγαίου στην καρδιά των Κυκλάδων, το οποίο απέχει λιγότερο από ένα ναυτικό μίλι από την Πάρο, με το λιμένα της οποίας συνδέεται με μικρό τοπικό πορθμείο. Στην νησίδα Σαλιαγκός βρίσκεται ο αρχαιότερος οικισμός των Κυκλάδων, ενώ το Δεσποτικό, ακατοίκητη νήσος στα νοτιοδυτικά της Αντιπάρου, αποτελεί τόπο μεγάλης αρχαιολογικής σημασίας.
Η Κοινότητα Αντιπάρου ιδρύθηκε το 1914 και προήχθη σε Δήμο το 2010 με την εφαρμογή του σχεδίου νόμου «Καλλικράτης», βάσει της αρχής του «κάθε νησί και δήμος». Καταλαμβάνει δε έκταση 35,1 τ.χλμ. συμπεριλαμβάνοντας τη νήσο της Αντιπάρου, το Δεσποτικό και το Στρογγυλό. Αριθμεί, σύμφωνα με την απογραφή του 2001 1.037 μόνιμους κατοίκους και έχει πυκνότητα 29,5 κατοίκους ανά τ.χλμ. Στην Αντίπαρο λειτουργεί Νηπιαγωγείο, Δημοτικό Σχολείο, Γυμνάσιο και Λύκειο. Η οικονομία του νησιού βασίζεται στον τουρισμό, την αλιεία, την κτηνοτροφία και λιγότερο στη γεωργία στον κάμπο και στις βορειοανατολικές πεδινές εκτάσεις της. Είναι γνωστή για τη χαρακτηριστική κυκλαδίτικη ομορφιά με τις λευκές κατοικίες, τα λιθόστρωτα σοκάκια και τις όμορφες μπουκαμβίλιες που ανθούν στις αυλές των σπιτιών. Αποτελεί δημοφιλές τουριστικό θέρετρο τα καλοκαίρια για Έλληνες και Ευρωπαίους επισκέπτες, αλλά και τόπο επένδυσης Αμερικανών παραθεριστών.
Ο κεντρικός οικισμός εντοπίζεται στο βορειοανατολικό άκρο του νησιού, απέναντι από την Πούντα της Πάρου με την οποία συνδέεται με φέρρυ. Το ιστορικό κέντρο εντοπίζεται στο ενετικό Κάστρο της Αντιπάρου, το οποίο συνδέεται μέσα από το εμπορικό δρομάκι με το γραφικό πορθμείο στην παραλιακή. Άλλοι γνωστοί οικισμοί είναι ο παραθεριστικός οικισμός του Αϊ-Γιώργη στο νοτιοδυτικό άκρο, ο οποίος και έχει ενταχθεί στο σχέδιο πόλης, ο Σωρός και ο Κάμπος, ενώ γνωστές παραλίες της ευρύτερης περιοχής του κέντρου είναι οι Ψαραλυκιές, ο Σιφνέϊκος γιαλός και η παραλία του camping. for education, culture, e-learning... 4U2C ...

PAROS (source Wikipedia):
Paros (Πάρος) is a Greek island in the central Aegean Sea. One of the Cyclades island group, it lies to the west of Naxos, from which it is separated by a channel about 8 kilometres (5 miles) wide. It lies approximately 150 km (93 miles) south-east of Piraeus. The Municipality of Paros includes numerous uninhabited offshore islets totaling 196.308 square kilometres (75.795 sq mi) of land. Its nearest neighbor is the municipality of Antiparos, which lies to its southwest.
Historically, Paros was known for its fine white marble, which gave rise to the term Parian to describe marble or china of similar qualities. Today, abandoned marble quarries and mines can be found on the island, but Paros is primarily known as a popular tourist spot.
MYKONOS (source Wikipedia):
Mykonos is a Greek island, part of the Cyclades, lying between Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos. The island spans an area of 85.5 square kilometres (33.0 sq mi) and rises to an elevation of 341 metres (1,119 feet) at its highest point. There are 10,134 inhabitants (2011 census), most of whom live in the largest town, Mykonos, which lies on the west coast. The town is also known as Chora (i.e. the Town in Greek, following the common practice in Greece when the name of the island itself is the same as the name of the principal town).
Mykonos's nickname is The island of the winds. Tourism is a major industry and Mykonos is well known for its vibrant nightlife and for being a gay-friendly destination with many establishments catering for the LGBT community.
GREECE: Island of PAROS, EXPLORING the beautiful OLD TOWN, what to see
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Paros (ΠΑΡΟΣ) which is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea best known for its beaches and traditional villages. Parikia, the bayside capital, is a boating and transportation hub for the Cyclades region. It's also home to the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, a landmark Byzantine church from the 4th century A.D. The north coast's Kolimbithres is a beach where naturally sculpted rocks form swimming coves.
Parikia is the capital and the main port of Paros island. It is one of the most typical Cycladic settlements as it is distinguished by its narrow cobbled paths, the old churches, the small shops and the houses in blue and white. Parikia is today one of the most popular and busiest spot of the island, as its cafeterias and restaurants along the waterfront attract many visitors. Parikia is also famous for its vivid nightlife, which makes it along with Naoussa village (on the northern side of the island) the two busiest tourist resorts of Paros.

Antiparos: at the Heart of the Cyclades
A short video shot during our summer holidays in one of the hidden treasures of the Aegean sea, the island of Antiparos.
Shot with Nikon D5200 and a handheld stabilizer. Unfortunately the strong winds of the Aegean where not so kind, but we found the results rewarding!
The video features shots from:
The castle of Antiparos, a mid-15th century Venetian castle with continuous houses built as the defensive perimeter.
The cave of Antiparos, one of the most beautiful and mysterious caves in the world. At the entrance there’s a stalagmite considered the oldest in Europe. Inside there are inscriptions from various visitors through the centuries.
Livadi and Monastiria, two beaches on the West side of the island. Especially Monastiria is quite hidden and difficult to access.
Kato & Epano Fyra islets, two small islands north of Antiparos where you go by swimming (or walking in the water) from the Camping beach.
Profitis Ilias, the highest peak in Antiparos with a stunning view of the Aegean and the Cyclades.
Despotiko, a small island southwest of Antiparos, almost exactly in the center of the Cyclades and of great archeological importance. There lie the remains of an ancient sanctuary dedicated to god Apollo.
