Choose a luxury hotel in Paros with Small Luxury Hotels of the World and retreat to a Cycladic island paradise where Hellenic white-painted fishing villages give way to undulating olive groves and pine forests.
Paros beaches
Rocky cliffs shelter the untouched northern beaches of Kolimbithres and Monastiri around the quaint fishing town of Naoussa, where the shallow waters are backed by family-run tavernas. Your luxury private charter yacht will lay anchor so that you can snorkel in the clear waters around the most secluded coves on sister island Antiparos. Windsurf or kite surf along the sweeping east coast’s white sandy stretches of Messada Beach and Golden Beach in the breezy strait between Paros and rugged Naxos island.
Luxury things to do in Paros
You can get your bearings across the narrow, whitewashed lanes to the stone Panagia Ekatontapiliani Byzantine church in Parikia from the 13th century, hilltop Kastro Venetian castle. Famous visitors like Lord Byron have marvelled at the stalagmite caves on Agios loannis hill, where over 400 carved steps lead into the 100m-deep limestone chamber. Lace up your walking shoes for a personally guided tour through the inland pine forests to the medieval village of Lefkes with its signature marble churches and rustic windmills.
Gourmet Paros
Dine under bougainvillea-draped terraces at friendly tavernas in Parikia Old Town. Oregano-infused mezes of souvlaki skewers and spit roasts are teamed with carafes of local crisp Monemvasia white wine. For Aegean-fresh calamari and luxurious white-fish caviar accompanied by potent ouzo and vivid sunsets, head to the Aliki port restaurants.
