Itinerary

30 min

Parikia, the capital of Paros in Parikia, the port of Paros, ships come and go all year long but mainly from spring and through summer, carrying people and goods.

60 min

The most historic part of the town! Not far from the port in Paros are the beautiful whitewashed buildings of Parikia.Looking at it from the water, you would never guess there is such a gorgeous network of streets that make up the old town. I know we certainly couldn’t believe it! The Cyclidic architecture rivals that of a Mykonos or Santorini, and it’s easy to get lost in the maze of streets. Sitting atop the Parikia Greece Old Town is a 13th-century Frankish castle. You’ll have fantastic views of the ocean from the walls of the castle ruins.

60 min

The Monastery of Panagia Ekatontapiliani in Paros, Cyclades: The church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani is located a few meters from the port of Parikia, the capital of Paros. This is one of the best-preserved Paleo-Christian monuments in Greece. According to the legend, the original church was constructed by Saint Constantine, first Emperor of Constantinople, after the offering of his mother, Saint Helene.

30 min

Located оn thе west сοаst of Pаrοs, Рounta (Ρоundа) village is famοus for twо things. First, this is the placе from whiсh yоu cаn take taкe а bοat to Antipаrοs.Second, Pounta is popular among surfers for its kite center.

120 min

Located next to Paros Island, Antiparos is one of those Greek islands that have managed to stay off the radar. Despite being so close to Paros Island, Antiparos is not so crowded but has a cosmopolitan character. It is an ideal Greek island for laid-back holidays away from the hustle and the bustle!

Pass by

It is a beautiful fishermen village with a picturesque port, taverns and the beach Piso Aliki with white pebbles and salt cedars that spread down to the sea. Aliki is located at the southern part of Paros and it took its name from the salt-marsh (in greek: aliki) that is located at the edge of the village

Pass by

Drios is a small village that extends along the southeast coast of Paros, nestled among low vegetation and crops. There is a small pier on the shore and a narrow beach, with small pebbles, that widens nearer to the pier.Drios is still one of the greenest villages on Paros, with impressive (compared to the Cycladic norm) clusters of trees and large sea pines on both beaches on either side of the port.

60 min

It is the most mountainous village of Paros and the most verdurous one. Lefkes was the first capital of Paros. The village is located under a pinewood on the hill. A walk around its beautiful narrow streets with the white joints will impress you. You will see the old washhouses that are still used by certain housewives, the House of Literature, the picturesque Ramnos, a street with taverns and other stores and the wonderful view: the sea and Naxos in the background.

60 min

Naoussa: Picturesque alleys and the Venetian castle on the beach, illuminated at nigh, add a magical note to the scenery, in combination with the marina and the small and big boats, fishing boats or yachts. Entertainment in Naoussa lasts till the small hours since there are all kinds of places to go. The city is built amphitheatrically at the second biggest bay of Paros, with the port and the marina and it has played an important role since the times of the Komnenos dynasty.

Informative

Best way to see more of the island when not hiring a car. The guess work of where to go is sorted. The tour went to places of interest.

Highly recommend!

The communication about pick up was clear and arrived at the designated spot on time. Our guide was very knowledgable and helpful. If you want to swim at the beach at Antiparos bring a bathing suit and towel. The shopping in Parikia was quaint with lots of variety of stores and the same in Antiparos. This tour gave a great overview of Paros and I would highly recommend this day trip. We were picked up around 9 AM and dropped off at our spot around 5:20 PM. Each stop includes some history and then a short bit of free time. This tour does involve walking on lots of uneven pathways so make sure you wear good footwear. Everything went smoothly all day! A great experience.

Paros Day tour

Over all the day was amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with! The only issue was the beginning of the day. Our original pick up spot was changed and it ended up being so far out of the way for us. We ended up having to take a 16 minute walk up the road to meet at the coffee shop. After one more pickup we ended up at our original pickup spot. It was so ridiculous!!

Lots of walking. Need to stay close to guide as it was very difficult to hear anything. Needed to pace the walk better and wait for all parties to be at the point of interest before starting.
