PAROS

Paros truly is the quintessential Greek island. Located in the heart of the Cyclades island, it’s a place brimming with beautiful beaches, medieval villages, wineries and incredible harbour. For a trip here, you’ll likely anchor your yacht at the port town of Parikia, where you can spend the morning exploring its narrow cobbled paths, old churches and boutique stores. From here, stop by the picture-perfect port of Naoussa village, enjoy a walking trail in Paros Park or bask in the sunshine on the shores of Golden Beach. However you spend the day, you can celebrate the adventure with an ouzo at To Takimi in the main square. As a popular option for locals, you’ll get the authentic Greek experience.
