Marpissa: A Hidden Gem of Traditional Paros
Perched on a gentle hillside with stunning views of the Aegean Sea, Marpissa is one of Paros’s most charming and authentic villages. With its whitewashed houses, winding alleys, and flower-filled courtyards, this traditional settlement offers a serene escape from the island’s busier coastal towns. Unlike some villages that have modernized over time, Marpissa has stayed true to its Cycladic roots, making it a delight to explore on foot. Fun fact: Marpissa is home to more churches than cafés—so no matter where you turn, you’ll find a centuries-old chapel tucked away in a quiet corner!
