Paros Tours | Greece Island Hopping

This gem of an island, at the heart of the Cyclades, is so precious that its ancient marble core was used to create the sublime Venus de Milo and parts of The Parthenon. One of the lesser known islands in this beloved Greek archipelago, Paros charms travellers with a bustling port town and quiet villages scattered amid its mountainous terrain. Make sure to explore its historic sites and scenic beaches before you hop over to your next island adventure.

PAROS TRAVEL GUIDE

DESTINATION FACTS

LANGUAGE

Greek

WHAT TO EAT

Locally grown olives and cheeses from local farmers like mizithra, gouna (sun-dried and grilled mackerel), octopus, baked chickpeas, karavalas (Greek snails), kakavia (fish soup) and sweets like Petimezinia (pumpkin pie!).

WHAT TO BRING BACK

A bottle of Paros wine or a bottle of souma (traditional drink made from figs), local produce like capers, olive oil or honey, handmade ceramics or a piece of carved marble from Paros and breezy Greek island fashion.

FUN FACT

Paros has been inhabited for millenia (since 4,000 BC!), occupied by countless civilizations like the Cretans, the Ionans, the Macedonians, the Turks and even… pirates! All these people left their mark on the island, perhaps none more so than the Romans who graced the island with one of its main attractions: the church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani, or Church of Hundred Doors, which was founded by the mother of Constantine the Great, the first emperor to convert to Christianity.
