Paros

"Top Chef season 12 contestant George Pagonis opened Greek fine-dining restaurant Paros with his brother Nicholas Pagonis in 2023 in Tribeca. The Grecian menu spans grilled whole fishes, fancy filet mignon kebabs, and, of course, all sorts of dips with pita. And yes, the Taylor Swift has dined there." - Nadia Chaudhury

"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)."
