Paros Guided Island Tour

Here's a chance to get a very good look at beautiful Paros!

Paros Naoussa Town

Tour 1: The island tour starts off in Naoussa, where the participants from Naoussa are collected, then we proceed to Parikia to pick the participants from the Parikia Windmill. We start our excursion taking a walk through the Old Town and visiting the famous Church of Ekatontapyliani (the church of 100 doors). We also pay a visit to the Venetian castle and the ancient cemetery. From there, we go to the marble quary of Marathi, and then on to the mountainous Lefkes Village, first capital of the island and the most characteristic for its Cycladic architecture. Afterward, we are off to Pisso Livadi, a traditional village at the sea front, for a 3-hour swim or optional lunch; depending on the weather conditions, we can alternatively stop at the nearby Golden Beach. Then we move back to Naoussa. Here we tour the town, visit the castle and the small, picturesque port. There is free time for window shopping or shopping. We bid farewell to our Naoussa participants and return by bus to Parikia.

Tour 2: There is an optional second tour for tourist groups with a limited stay on the island, especially during the season for visiing the "Valley with the Butterflies". This includes a tour through the villages of Dryos and Aliki where we visit the magnificent "Butterfly Valley," a private garden full of fig, olive and fruit trees. Strolling among the trees, you are engulfed in an array of orange and red magnificence, as the butterflies flutter all around you. Something not to be missed!
