Parikia

Paros offers “a picturesque and less crowded alternative,” according to the British newspaper “Express.” The article adds: “This island was recently listed by The Times among the five secret European destinations to explore, praised for its ability to offer an alternative escape from heavily crowded tourist areas, with serene beaches and affordable tavernas.”

A series of activities combining international sports with tourism will take place in various regions of Greece in June, under the aegis of the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO).

Organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, the 2019 Paros Festival spans three days and dozens of venues across the port town of Parikia. An exhibition titled "Collecting Stories, Telling Histories" will be on display throughout the event, showcasing archives, artifacts and photographs that detail Paros' history.

Paros is one of those gorgeous Greek islands that seems to be a bit off the radar. While it is every bit as beautiful as other places in Greece, it is often glossed over by visitors in favor of other places. Those who do end up at Paros, however, are completely enchanted. The island is charming and filled with traditional villages where the people go about their daily lives.
