| the island of Paros | ||||||||||||||||||||
Paros is situated in central Cyclades. It is built in traditional architectural rhythm and has beautiful beaches which were many times accredited with national and European prizes. Beauty of nature and peacefulness, in combination with its famous night life, promises the ideal vacation. One of the most ancient monuments of the early Christian period - Temple of "Panagia Ekatontapyliani" - is situated just a little further from Parikia's port. Saint Helen, Mother of Emperor Constantinos, found shelter on Paros Island and was kept safe during her quest for the Holy Cross in Jerusalem. The Emperor built the Temple to honour his mother's pledge to the Holy Mother for saving her. You can also visit the Archaeological "Museum of Cycladic Folk Art Collection" in Naoussa, the "Kaparis Museum of Cycladic Folk Art" in Naoussa, the Art Collection of Byzantine Era" in Parikia, and the Museum of Aegean Folk Civilization in Lefkes, all of which contain preserved items of great archaeological and historical significance. |
