Paros is situated in central Cyclades. It is built in traditional architectural rhythm and its beautiful beaches 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.
On our way to "Marathi" village, one can find Paros' Ancient Quarries. This marble was used for several famous sculptures of antiquity like Hermes of Praxitelis, Aphrodite of Milos, Temple of Apollo in Delphi and Delos Island, Temple of Zeus in Olympia, etc.
"Lefkes" village is situated on the highest point of the island. An ancient road of the Byzantine era connects "Lefkes with "Prodromos" village is well preserved and offers a pleasant walk for all trekking fans.

You can also visit the Archaeological Museum of Cycladic Folk Art Collection in "Naoussa" village, the Museum of Cycladic Folk Art, the Art Collection of Byzantine Era, and the Museum of Aegean Folk Civilization, all of which contain preserved items of great archaeological and historical significance.
