Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Paros, South Aegean
There are beaches for everyone on Paros—families, partiers, watersports enthusiasts, honeymooners. Anyone can find their perfect stretch of golden sand. The same breeze that rustles orange and pomegranate trees will power your kitesurfing or windsurfing session. In the capital city of Parikia, make sure to pay your respects at the Byzantine "church of 100 doors" (Panagia Ekatontapillani) and visit the seaside ruins of a medieval castle built from the marble remains of an ancient temple.

Benetos Skiadas, an ordinary fisherman, managed to revive the Greek Tradition by creating his unique, functional and hand made miniatures using materials only from the Cycladic land. And all these without making any draft or using any scientific instruments. He created them only by using the divine gifts with which he was born; observation, perception, passion for creativity.The result is excellent and all the miniatures function in a perfect way. All his memories and personal experiences were strongly impressed on his mind and prompted him - with the help of his skillful hands– to revive the tradition and his dreams.The visitor can admire a all types of Greek ships such as warships, merchant ships and fishing boats which give you the impression that they are ready to sail. Gri-gri, drift-boats, steamships, sailing boats, triremes are all constructed with the traditional shipbuilding and are exact replicas of the genuine models. Open every day, 1 April - 30 Oct/ 10.00-14.00.

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.

Topical Cycladic village. Extremely clean and friendly. I highly recommend a visit in the early morning if you are in Páros. Don’t forget to visit the cafe by the big church and meet Konstantinos the owner.. he serves the best lemonade in town. Truly a gem.

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.

Visited with the family yesterday. I came 2 years ago and wanted them to experience it. Doesn’t disappoint. Great choices. You can pick from a selection of wines and types. Thanos was very knowledgeable and enhanced the trip. Will go again for a different selection. We bought quite a few bottles but there is no pressure to do so.

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.
