Paros Holidays with Olympic Holidays


The lively capital of Paros, Parikia, is filled with narrow, winding streets which were originally intended to confuse any invaders, giving the locals time to escape! The town now boasts an atmospheric and intriguing mix of the old and new, with its white-washed buildings and an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and shops.

The nightlife in Parikia is quite lively, so if you're looking for entertainment you won't have to venture far. Our accommodations are all located near to or within Parikia, so you will be in an ideal location for exploring the town.

As well as Parikia, the coastline of Paros offers some truly beautiful beaches, so why not explore the island by car. The sleepy village of Naoussa is well worth a visit - it is around a 15 minute car or bus journey from Parikia and it offers a small fishing harbour and a selcetion of fresh fish tavernas, making it a must-see for those seeking a taste of traditional Cycladic village life.
