The Best Attractions In Parikia

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.

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 ...
