Kolymbithres Beach

Beaches

Kolymbithres is hands down one of the most striking beaches we’ve ever visited, and it’s a must-see when you’re in Paros. Nestled within the rugged landscape of the Paros Park, this beach is famous for its unique rock formations that create natural swimming pools. The soft golden sand contrasts beautifully with the clear, shallow waters, making it an ideal spot for families or anyone wanting to lounge by the sea in peace. The rocks, which are shaped by wind and sea over centuries, also make this place feel like a secret haven. We love how you can jump from rock to rock, or simply relax in one of the smaller coves formed between the stones.

Chapel Of Agios Fokas

Sites

Perched on a scenic hill just outside Parikia, the Chapel of Agios Fokas offers a serene and spiritual escape with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Dedicated to Saint Fokas, a revered Christian martyr, this small but beautiful chapel is a hidden gem on Paros Island, attracting both religious pilgrims and travelers seeking a peaceful retreat. Its tranquil setting makes it one of the most charming places to visit in Paros.

Piso Aliki Beach

Beaches

Aliki Beach is a charming little spot on Paros, located on the southern tip of the island. It’s a favorite among locals, and we can see why—its relaxed atmosphere, clear water, and stunning views make it a perfect place to spend a peaceful day by the sea. The beach is sandy with a shallow, calm shoreline that’s ideal for swimming or lounging in the sun. Aliki’s small size makes it feel cozy, and it never feels overcrowded, even in the peak of summer.

Kalogeros Beach

Beaches

Kalogeros Beach is one of Paros’s most unique and tranquil spots, located on the northeastern coast of the island. We love visiting this beach because of its unusual charm. It’s famous for the natural clay found along the shore, and many visitors come here to indulge in a therapeutic mud bath. The clay-rich sand gives us the opportunity to coat ourselves in the natural mud, leaving our skin feeling soft and rejuvenated—a truly memorable experience. The beach itself is relatively small, with soft sand and shallow, clear water, making it ideal for a swim or just relaxing by the water.
