Carefree days on Paros are never long enough

One of the largest in the Cyclades, Paros is a hearty island with its own distinct charm. Beyond the glorious blue-domed churches, Venetian ruins, whitewashed villages, and golden sandy beaches, there is a feeling of restfulness that sets it apart from its neighbours, Mykonos or Santorini. Paros is for carefree exploring, with sandy toes and no particular agenda. Wander the labyrinth of secret passages in the capital Pariki Island, eat fresh fish in the colourful harbour village of Naoussa, or snorkel at Kolymbithres Beach. The possibilities are endless, and the days are never long enough.
