Parikia
The lively capital and beating heart of Paros
A labyrinth of life, history, and island colour.
Parikia invites exploration at every turn. Behind its port and ferry terminals lies a maze of white alleyways, secret courtyards, and boutique shops. Cycladic houses with blue shutters bask under bougainvillea blooms, while old windmills and neoclassical mansions hint at the town’s layered past. It’s home to the iconic Ekatontapyliani church and serves as a gateway to the island’s inland villages, beaches, and history. A perfect starting point for discovering Paros.
