Paros sits at the heart of the Cyclades, connected by frequent ferries to Mykonos, Naxos, Santorini and Athens. Smaller and quieter than its famous neighbours, the island balances classic island charm with enough variety to fill days of exploring — from marble-paved old towns to windswept coastal paths. Wander the bougainvillea-draped alleys of Naoussa's fishing harbour, swim at the long golden stretch of Santa Maria beach, or follow the Byzantine Road that once linked the island's hilltop monasteries. Paros is also one of the Aegean's top spots for windsurfing and kitesurfing, with reliable meltemi winds channelling through the strait between Paros and Naxos.
