ABOUT Paros & Antiparos
Paros and Antiparos, a harmonious duo in the Cyclades, invite you to embrace the art of dolce far niente. Lazy villages and sandy beaches, where surfers ride waves into the sunset, create an idyllic retreat. Paros seduces travelers with its historic Parikia, jasmine-scented lanes, and the timeless Venetian castle. The village of Lefkes tucked away in verdant hills, and Naousa, a fishing village with creative gastronomy, add to Paros' allure. Antiparos, the unorthodox sibling, promises simplicity and easy living.
