Day 3 Paros

After breakfast, we will move to the port to take the ferry to our next destination, Paros. We recommend visiting the beach of Kolympethres. The erosion and the capricious nature have sculpted the stone achieving fascinating forms that leave space to small coves of crystalline water.

In the afternoon, once after lunch, we suggest visiting the old town and capital of the island, Parikia. Far from the hustle and bustle of other islands, this capital of the island is more relaxed and quiet. Parikia, a network of narrow white streets dotted with blue-domed churches, makes it a very nice place to visit. We recommend visiting the church of Panagia Ekatondapyliani. It is known as the church of the Virgin of the 100 doors.

Bed and breakfast.

Day 4 Paros

Breakfast at the hotel, and we advise you to go to the neighboring small island, Antiparos. If you go to this island, you will have to go to the port to get there, it is a very little touristic island and it is really worth it! The capital, Chora Antiparos or Kastro, is built around the core of the Venetian castle and is characterized by the traditional architecture of the Cyclades.

In the afternoon, you will return to the island of Paros.

Bed and breakfast.

Day 5 Paros
