Paros - Mykonos - Resorts Guide

Click images to enlarge

Overview: Paros is one of the larger islands of the Cyclades and is becoming more popular as a spillover from the busier islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Its main drawcards are good sandy beaches and old world traditional fishing villages, which come with reasonably priced hotels and a vibrant nightlife. The island's main port is Parikia, which has a ruined Venetian castle and an impressive Byzantine church to its credit. The resort town of Naoussa on the north coast is close to the island's best beaches. On a separate island section, known as Antiparos and separated from the larger section by a channel, is an interesting chapel cavern and more lovely beaches.
