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.

Πάρος Paros Greek Islands Travel Tour Guide
Η Πάρος είναι το τρίτο σε μέγεθος νησί των Κυκλάδων και βρίσκεται δυτικά της Νάξου, από την οποία τη χωρίζει στενός δίαυλος πλάτους 3 περίπου μιλίων, ενώ από τον Πειραιά απέχει 90 ναυτικά μίλια. Έχει έκταση 196,308 τετραγωνικά χιλιόμετρα και το μήκος των ακτών της είναι 118,5 χιλιόμετρα. Ο πληθυσμός του νησιού, κατά την απογραφή του 2001, είναι 12.853 κάτοικοι και κατά την απογραφή του 2011, 13.710. Η καίρια γεωγραφική θέση της Πάρου στο κεντρικό Αιγαίο, το σταυροδρόμι των θαλάσσιων δρόμων που συνδέουν την ηπειρωτική Ελλάδα με τα νησιά του Αρχιπελάγους, τα μικρασιατικά παράλια και ευρύτερα τη Μεσόγειο, αποτέλεσε τη διαχρονική βάση για την ανάπτυξη του νησιού.
Στην αρχαιότητα σπουδαία προϊόντα της Πάρου ήταν τα σύκα, τα πεπόνια και οι παριανές πίττες. Συγκεκριμένα ο περίφημος Παριανός σατυρικός ποιητής Αρχίλοχος, όταν πήγε στη Θάσο, δεν μπορούσε να ξεχάσει τα μαύρα σύκα τα λεγόμενα αιμώνια, που ήταν παραγωγή της Πάρου. Ο δε Αθήναιος μνημονεύει τα πεπόνια της Πάρου που τα ονόμαζε σικυούς σπερματίες. Ο δε Πλίνιος αναφέρει ότι στην Πάρο υπήρχε ένα δάσος του οποίου τα δένδρα δεν καρποφορούσαν, τα δε αλιεύματα πέριξ της Πάρου ήταν περισσότερο αλμυρά από τα συνήθη. Επίσης ο ίδιος αναφέρει και το αξιοπερίεργο ότι στην Πάρο υπήρχε κάποιος λίθος, (χώμα;), από τον οποίο εξαγόταν ένας χυμός, (πιθανόν με βρασμό), που χρησίμευε ως θεραπευτικό φάρμακο. Άλλα προϊόντα της εποχής εκείνης ήταν τα παριανά ιμάτια που ήταν πορφυροβαφή, τα καλούμενα βεύδεα. Κυρίως όμως ήταν τα λευκά μάρμαρα που μαζί με της Νάξου και της Πεντέλης συντέλεσαν στη δόξα της αρχαίας ελληνικής γλυπτικής. Διάσημοι ήταν οι Παριανοί αγαλματοποιοί Σκόπας και Αγοράκριτος, εφάμιλλοι του Φειδία, καθώς και οι ζωγράφοι Νικάνωρ και Αρκεσίλαος.
Σήμερα οι μόνιμοι κάτοικοι, οι Παριανοί, ασχολούνται κυρίως με την αλιεία, γεωργία, κτηνοτροφία και τον τουρισμό. Τα προϊόντα της Πάρου είναι ποικίλα και άριστης ποιότητας. Παράγει ετησίως μεγάλες ποσότητες οίνου με συνέπεια να έχει μικρές βιομηχανικές μονάδες οινοποιίας και ουζοποιίας,-και συγκεκριμένα την περιβόητη ¨σούμα¨- καθώς και την περίφημη παριανή γραβιέρα, λάδι και σύκα, περισσότερο για τις ανάγκες των κατοίκων. Ευφορότερες περιοχές είναι της Παροικίας και της Μάρπησσας. Επίσης η Πάρος έχει αξιόλογα ορυκτά, μεταξύ των οποίων πρωτεύουσα θέση έχει το ονομαστό χιονόλευκο μάρμαρο της Πάρου. for education, culture, e-learning... 4U2C ...
IOS - Best Secret Sights to Visit - Aerial Filming!!
Ios, is a Greek island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. Ios is a hilly island with cliffs down to the sea on most sides, situated halfway between Naxos and Santorini. It is about 18 kilometres (11 miles) long and 10 kilometres (6 miles) wide, with an area of 109.024 square kilometres.
According to Plutarch it is thought that the name has derived from the Ancient Greek word for violets Ία(Ia) because they were commonly found on the island and it is the most accepted etymology. Others say that the name is derived from Phoenician word iion, meaning “pile of stones” but Pliny the Elder writes that the name comes from the Ionians which lived in the island. In the Ottoman period the island was called Anza or Aina, and its present name was officially established in the 19th century after over 2000 years of usage. During the ancient times the island was also called Φοινίκη (Phiniki), named after and by the Phoenicians and in the 3rd century, when the island joined League of the Islanders was probably temporarily named Arsinoe after the wife of Ptolemy II Today the inhabitants of the Cycladic Islands call the island Nio, a name deriving from the Byzantine Era. The name Little Malta, which is found in texts of travelers during the Ottoman domination, is related to the permanent presence of pirates on the island. In languages with latin script, the island name is Nio or Io.
