Paros - The Most Underrated Greek Island


Paros Island is one of the most understated Greek Islands. The island charms you with its relaxed village atmosphere. There are no hordes of tourists. The travellers you meet are reluctant to share too much about the island, in case it gets spoilt.




Naoussa is a traditional fishing village where men untangle their fishing nets on their boats. Octopus hang from the doorways of seafood restaurants, legs dangling in the air.



The main town of Parikia has a maze of shops and restaurants, in between churches.



The village of Lefkes is a settlement up in the hills, with whitewashed houses and draping bougainvillea.

We stayed at Hotel Festos, a budget hotel near the main street. The lovely hotel manager Luzia is happy to help you any way she can. Even when you have to call her during siesta because you got locked out of your room…
