Soft Sands & Cycladic Sun – Classic Beaches of Paros
For those seeking iconic island beach days, Paros delivers in spades. Krios and Livadia near Parikia are convenient and well-organised, while Santa Maria and Golden Beach draw active travellers with watersports and clear, shallow waters. The south-facing beaches tend to be more sheltered, making them ideal for families and sunbathers alike.
The Remote Beauty of Paros Beaches & More by Cruise
The best way to explore the coastal beauty of Paros is by boat. Several curated experiences make it easy to uncover the island’s most scenic beaches and neighbouring gems. Think turquoise waters, dramatic rock formations, and that feeling of true escape. Join the South Paros Despotiko and Blue Lagoon Full Day Cruise to explore the crystal-clear sea caves of Antiparos, Panteronissia and Despotiko in one journey.
More exclusive cruise options include Private Motor Yacht Cruise to Koufonissia from Paros, the luxurious Aeolus Motoryacht Cruise in Paros, more suited to larger groups of people who don’t want to share their experience with unknown persons. Having said that, some travellers prefer mixing it up with like-minded folk, in which case we recommend you join one of our party cruises, like Paros Pirate Boat Party which is quite popular with younger crowds, Whichever you decide suits your preferences more, rest assured that each cruise offers its own unique route and vibe—whether you’re chasing serenity, snorkelling spots, or spectacular views.
Off-the-Beaten-Path Beaches Worth the Journey
Away from the crowds, some of the best beaches in Paros such as Faneromeni Beach reward the curious with peace, beauty, and a sense of discovery. These beaches may require a little more effort to reach—be it by dirt road or boat—but the serenity and scenery are well worth it. If you are joining one of our cruises, be sure to discover a few that are entirely off-the-grid. We won’t reveal them here and spoil the surprise, you will have to see them while on board!
Other Notable Beaches in Paros
One of the island’s most distinctive beaches that is also easily accessible by land is Kolympithres, where smooth granite rock formations create natural swimming coves that are both photogenic and fun to explore. It’s a favourite for families and couples alike, with shallow waters and unique scenery. Nearby, Monastiri Beach offers a more tranquil setting with calm waters and access to hiking trails in the Environmental Park. Piso Livadi and Logaras on the eastern coast strike a nice balance between convenience and charm, with tavernas just steps from the sand—perfect for a lazy afternoon by the sea.
