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.

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.
