Paros is one of the most popular islands in The Cyclades. The island is not very big, 194 km2 with a population of approx. 8000 people. A steady flow of tourists, several thousand a day during high season, come and go. Paros has excellent communication by ferries to other islands. During high season, you have a choice of 30 other islands during one week. You will love this idylic island and especially the small town of Naoussa.

Paros is a fabulous island. It contains in a way everything you expect to experience. Small, idyllic towns crammed with white houses with their traditional blue window-shutters and doors, white churches with blue domes, great beaches, good restaurants and culture.Parikia the capital,is a place you have to have a close look at. It is amazing walking through the streets from the harbour into the city. The streets are gradually narrowing and in the end they are too narrow for cars.

One should have in mind that Paros is the island that gives the opportunity for peaceful vacation but also for wild nights and days.

The center of town is the windmill which used to serve as the tourist information center, but now serves only as a windmill. What the windmill does exactly, I am not sure, but the tourist police have moved across the street and if you want information on ferry boats there are at least half a dozen ticket agencies within fifty meters. Each agency posts the weekly schedules on boards in front and by looking at your options you realize that you can get just about anywhere from Paros

AMBELAS Ambelas is a small fisherman/s village by the sea a few kms outside Naoussa. The inhabitants are hospitable and they are fishermen. There are beautiful traditional taverns where you can taste fresh fishes and the island/s traditional plates.
