Panagia Ekatondapiliani

Reviewed By L2660GCtinag

I highly recommend waking up early to see this church (and the surrounding lanes of Paroikia old town) in the morning light when it is still, quiet and glorious. At 7am the entrance gate opens and it'll just be you and a handful of devout locals attending morning mass. Beat the heat of the day and avoid the crowds of tourists, and get the best photos. Amazing stone Byzantine architecture with ancient marble remnants from an earlier temple around the central courtyard, it is a truly beautiful church and well worth visiting. I found it to be a lovely, calming, sacred space in amongst the hustle and bustle of tourists and cafes, and the perfect way to start my day.

Parikia Town

Reviewed By duhoz - Beroun, Czech Republic

A friendly city which was more convenient for me to stay than picturesque and laid-back Nauousa The ancient city has everything, historical buildings, narrow charming streets, lovely taverns with great traditional Greek fare or fresh sea catches and sandy beaches around. The port just in the city center as well as main bus station to take you around the island, the airport not far away. The time does fly so quickly, its relax here, especially after the sunset. And I felt very safe at night while strolling the Frankish Castle area.

Martselo beach

Reviewed By Peahead - Surbiton, United Kingdom

Out of all the beaches we visited in Paros and Antiparos, this came out on top. Crystal clear water, golden sand, great swimming, stunning views and a 10-min hop on the water taxi to Parikia.

Archaeological Museum Parou

Reviewed By Deborahjune - Toronto, Canada

Not to be missed on your visit to Parikias. It doesn't take long to take a walk around this museum and it is well worth the 2 Euro entrance fee (only 1 if you're a senior!) The artifacts are nicely arranged and well marked with information. Almost everything is from this island and area. There are so many artifacts here that there isn't even room in the museum to house them all! Astounding.
