Five villages on Paros you should visit 💙

If you're visiting Paros for the first time, choosing where to go can be surprisingly difficult.

Here is an overview that can help you decide:

✨ Naoussa - lively harbour, beautiful little streets, restaurants and nightlife.

🏛️ Parikia - history, the old town, shops, cafés and the island's main port.

🌿 Lefkes - peaceful mountain village, traditional streets and beautiful views.

🏡 Marpissa - quieter, traditional and a little closer to everyday island life.

🌊 Aliki - relaxed seaside atmosphere, fishing boats, calm water and waterfront tavernas.

Which one sounds most like your kind of place? 💙

There’s another Paros beyond the beaches. 💙

Leave the coast behind, take one of the little roads inland, and suddenly the island feels completely different.

Rolling hills, dry stone walls, tiny villages in the distance, endless blue sky… and sometimes you can drive for quite a while without seeing another car.

This is the side of Paros I find especially beautiful. No beach clubs, no crowds, no plans, just the landscape, the wind and the feeling that you’ve got the whole island to yourself.

And this is exactly where having a car can open up a different side of Paros. 🚗

Would you explore the inland of Paros, or would you happily spend your whole holiday by the sea? 🌊

🚗 Do you actually need a rental car in Paros?

The short answer: not necessarily.

If your holiday is mostly about beaches, villages, restaurants and the main tourist spots, the local buses can get you surprisingly far.

But if you want to explore the quieter side of Paros - little inland roads, remote beaches, viewpoints and places where you might not see another person for ages - having a car gives you a completely different kind of freedom. 😌

So I’d say:

🚌 Bus: great for a relaxed holiday around the main places.

🚗 Car: better if exploring is part of the adventure.

And there’s always the third option: a bit of both. 💙

What would you choose for a week on Paros? Bus, car, or a mixture of both?

One Perfect Day in Lefkes 💙🇬🇷

If you have the time, you should definitely visit the hilltop village of Lefkes. Once the capital of Paros and a refuge from pirate raids, it is now one of the island's most peaceful villages, with breathtaking views, charming cats and beautiful Cycladic alleys.

Today, I'd love to share with you my favourite way to discover Lefkes at a relaxed pace...

☀️ Start your visit by wandering through the village's beautiful alleys. There are so many little corners to discover: colourful flower pots, pink bougainvillea and charming little squares – perfect for taking photos. 📸😊

⛪ Continue along the main alley until you reach Agia Triada, one of the most beautiful marble-built churches on Paros.

☕ Enjoy a Greek coffee or a refreshing drink in the little square in front of the church and simply watch village life unfold.

🏛️ Take a few minutes to visit the charming Folklore Museum. It's only one room, but it's filled with stories of traditional island life.

🐾 Say hello to the friendly cats that seem to have claimed every sunny corner of Lefkes.

🍹 End the day on a cosy terrace with a cold drink... and don't be surprised if a local feline decides to join you.

No rush.
No itinerary to follow.
Just slow down and enjoy one of the most beautiful villages on Paros. 💙

Step back in time in the heart of Lefkes. 💙

Have you ever visited the Folklore Museum of Lefkes?

It was the first folklore museum established on Paros and is filled with objects generously donated by local families. From traditional household items and handmade textiles to farming tools and everyday utensils, each exhibit tells a story of island life in generations past.

It's a small museum—just one room—but it is definitely worth a visit. Every corner is filled with history, and it's a wonderful way to experience the traditions and everyday life of Paros before tourism transformed the island.

If you're exploring Lefkes, it's well worth taking a few minutes to step inside. You can find it on left hand side on the main alley that leads down to the main church Agia Triada ⛪️

Let me me know how you experienced it 😀💙🇬🇷

Not everything on Paros is blue and white... 💛🌵

Look a little closer and you'll discover giant prickly pear cacti covered in vibrant yellow fruit.

These colourful fruits are called prickly pears. They're found across the Greek islands and have been enjoyed for generations, whether eaten fresh (after carefully removing the tiny spines) or turned into jams and other local treats.

It's little surprises like these that make exploring Paros so much fun.

Have you ever tasted a prickly pear?

Whenever I need a break from the beaches, Butterfly Valley is one of my favourite places to visit. 💙🌿

Hidden beneath tall trees and surrounded by lush greenery, it's home to the beautiful Jersey Tiger Moth. You can spot them on trees, branches, and bushes.

The peaceful atmosphere makes it a wonderful place for a leisurely walk and a chance to experience a different side of Paros.

If you visit, remember to keep your voice low and avoid disturbing the moths. They rely on their stored energy during this stage of their life cycle, so every unnecessary flight costs them precious energy. 💙🦋

Have you ever visited Butterfly Valley? 😊

High on Kefalos Hill above the traditional village of Marpissa sits the Monastery of Agios Antonios. And it is one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. 💙⛪️

Founded in 1597, it's one of the oldest monasteries on Paros. Long before the monastery was built, this hill was home to a Venetian castle, making it a place rich in history as well as breathtaking views.

Take your time to wander through the peaceful courtyard, enjoy the silence and admire one of the most spectacular panoramic views on the island. From here, you can look out over Marpissa, Piso Livadi, the eastern coastline and the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. ✨

Getting there is a bit of an adventure. The road is quite narrow and steep in places, so take your time and drive carefully. I promise, the view at the top is worth every bend. 💙

Have you already visited Agios Antonios?

🌅💛 Sunset in Aliki 💛🌅

Something you should not miss, when on Paros.

Take one last stroll along the beach, listen to the gentle sound of the waves and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this charming fishing village.

Then it's time for one of the best parts of the evening... 😊

Choose a traditional seaside taverna and enjoy fresh Greek food while watching the last colours of the sunset. Or simply grab a gyros to go, an ice cream or a cocktail and soak up the relaxed island vibe a little longer.

Sometimes, the most beautiful evenings are also the simplest ones. 💙🇬🇷

Have you ever spent an evening in Aliki?
