"Top Chef George Pagonis’s newish Greek restaurant was a destination for Swift, Jack Antonoff, and a friend, as they sat in a booth by the bar. It was after a visit to visit Travis Kelce in Kansas City, as well as Beyonce in London, apparently. She wore a pretty great tweed coat and matching mini from Stella McCartney." - Melissa McCart

"Nestled in the heart of the Cyclades, Paros offers a perfect blend of picturesque landscapes, idyllic beaches, enchanting whitewashed villages, and rich cultural heritage. It’s also a hit with history buffs, as it has ancient ruins like the Sanctuary of Apollo and the Venetian Castle. Mix in pristine sandy shores, delicious Greek cuisine, and vibrant nightlife, and it’s easy to see why it’s one of the best islands to visit." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Then we went to two islands, [Santorini and Paros] in Greece, which were obviously beautiful."

"If you're looking for an island with nightlife, but one not quite as wild as Mykonos, Paros is the perfect place for you. Paros has its fair share of charming Cycladic villages, such as Parikia, Lefkes, and Marpissa, but it's most known for Naossa, a picturesque fishing village swarming with fresh seafood, energy, nightlife, and crowds (the good kind)."

We chose Paros because we were captivated by its picturesque views and the iconic whitewashed houses characteristic of the Greek Cyclades. The island - approximately 4 hours ferry ride from Athens- boasts stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, inviting exploration of charming villages like Parikia and invigorating hikes through lush landscapes. And of course, no visit to Paros is complete without savoring the delicious local seafood. Truly, Paros offers something for everyone.

For me this island was a surprise, after been in so many others , Mykonos included i found Paros so much better, about price, acomodación and options. Maeby for my taste everything was very crowded but defenetly you can find lots and diferents things to do.

Such a lovely island, clear water on the beach, charming streets and shops, and plenty more to love. We went to both Naoussa & Parikia for the museum. We enjoyed this trip very much, glad we decided to come here not just staying at Santorini.

One of our favourite islands from our trip (Milos, Paros and Koufonisi). Our absolute favourite was Koufonisi because of its beaches and wilderness. However Paros came close second with its beautiful villages and beaches. We had some delicious food there too and the locals were really welcoming. I highly recommend staying near Naousa as this is where it's happening. Parikia gets pretty quiet at night.

Paros is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea best known for its beaches and traditional villages. Parikia, the bayside capital, is a boating and transportation hub for the Cyclades region. It's also home to the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, a landmark Byzantine church from the 4th century A.D.

A comparatively big island with many ports, beautiful beaches and small cities to visit. A lot of places to visit and also many graceful churches. People are very friendly. Nice transportation by ferries and small boats to other islands and inland you should use rentable cars or motorcycles because it's a relatively big island. You can also come by your motor vehicle or naval one. This island is one of a kind: recommended to all!
