Parikia is situated on a small hill overlooking the port of Paros, we absolutely loved strolling the labyrinth like narrow painted alleyways. Paroikia is charming old town with its historic ruins, churches and picturesque corners. 🐈 🌺 Frankish Castle was built in the 1200s by the Venetian Sanoudo family on the site of the ancient acropolis in Paroikia, capital of Paros island. It’s not a real castle in Parikia of Paros, it’s named “kastro” (meaning castle) where there are some ancient walls and remains of a tower that used to be part of the castle. Just walk through the cobblestone alleys and you can still see the remains of an ancient temple, maybe the temple of Demeter, which once stood here. #wecreate #paros #seltravels #mytripvlog #tripblazers #Frankishcastle #summerdays #mytripvlog #awesomepic #paroikia #paros

Where to eat in Paros?🤤 When you arrive in a different place, you try to find out restaurants with nice food and good reviews. Read my restaurant recommendations below😍: 1. The mouragio tavern, which is located in Alyki. You will have the best time there as their food it’s so delicious! Some of my favourite dishes are smoked mussels, shrimp saganaki (with feta cheese and a tomato sauce 🤤😍). The location is perfect, as the restaurant has a sea view. Also, the staff is very kind with you and happy to help you❤️ P.S in my opinion you need to book a table, as it is quite crowded 😄 2. The second restaurant is Arando in Lefkes village. As I have told you before, lefkes is one of the most beautiful villages in Paros. And… guess what… if you visit Arando restaurant, you will have a village view from above! Regarding their dishes, we loved the kataifi cheese pie🤤, tigania (pork with wine I think🙄 haha) and mooore!! Last but not least, the prices are friendly. It is not an expensive restaurant. 3. The last one is Bountaraki restaurant and located in Paroikia (Paros centre). You have to try braised meat in the pot. I can not describe you how delicious it was, until you try it!!! 🤤🤤🤤 It is one of the traditional restaurants in Paros and it has not lost the Cycladic beauty💙 Do not forget to combine your meal with white wine😄 Hope my post is helpful. Stay tuned for more restaurant recommendations ❤️ #paros #parosisland #island #islandlife #greece #islandlife

Let me introduce you Lefkes village, which is located in Paros. It’s the most beautiful village in Paros with the most picturesque alleys😍 In my opinion, if you ever go to Paros, the first village you should visit is Lefkes😍 It’s like a (summer) fairytale!! This village is full of bougainvilleas🌺 You will not be bored of walking!! Also, there are a various shops with ice cream, restaurants, cafés and souvenirs! Some of the restaurants you have to try are Flora tavern, Klarinos and Ramnos cafe for traditional desserts 😍 Hope my article was helpful ❤️ #travelinspiration #travelphotography #islands #greece #paros Save the post for later❤️

First of all, there are many restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy your meal/cafe with a great view of sea. You will have the chance to relax and enjoy your moment like this. Secondly, if you are a night lover, there are plenty of bars and clubs in the centre of Naousa.

Wine tasting in Paros! Moraitis Winery is located just a 10 minute walk from Naoussa village. They are open from 12:00-20:00, Mondays to Saturdays and offer wine tasting with lunch or a cosy dinner. I visited alone and was clueless as to how the wine tasting would work. So here’s a little insider: 🍷Basically you can choose from a list of options as soon as you get there. You can choose either: red, white and rosé 2 whites and a rosé 3 whites etc, they have great options. Because I am not a fan of red I chose two whites and a rosé and this cost me just €10! I got to try three half glasses of wine, with a small platter of cheese and tomato for one. When they bring the wine over they tell you some information about the wine and also give you a leaflet with the information that you can can keep. I highly recommend this as an activity if you’re visiting Paros, it’s great for solo travellers, groups and family’s. I only had the wine tasting platter of food that comes with the wine however you can order lunch on top to come with it or dinner. #paros #greek #greece #greekfood #greekisland #winery #winetaste #foodie #summervacation

Looking for an island full of bougainvilleas? Looking for an island with beautiful beaches and valleys? Looking for an island with nice food and cocktails? Let me recommend you the Paros island in Cyclades, Greece💙🤍 Last years, Paros is one of the most famous islands for summer holidays and she’s famous for her beauty and the people hospitality. More specifically, Paroikia is the centre of Paros where the port is there too. You can have a walk and take beautiful pictures (with the pink bougainvilleas and Cycladic houses). Moreover, I will recommend you restaurants and bars where you can go when it comes to visit Paroikia. 1. It’s a must to buy an ice-cream from the Vanilla Ice-Cream🍦🍨❤️ The most delicious ice cream in the island!! My favourite flavours are bueno, kinder surprise, Nutella (you have to try them🤤) 2. For a well known brunch and coffee, you have to go at Distrato café. You will find everything you want. From breakfast to brunch and go on😍 3. Wanna try tasty food in Paros? Bountaraki is the best!😍 You have to try turokafteri, their fries, kokkinisto chicken (in Greek) which means chicken with tomato sauce!! I loved it! 😍 4. Last but not least, you should drink a cocktail at Kastro with the best view for sure!!! I would recommend you to go in the sunrise. You’ll forget me why I told that😊 Hope you have great summer holidays in Greece💙 #greece #greek #islands #greekisland #paros #Paroikia

We collected our Seat automatic in the afternoon and (almost) ventured to a nearby village called Prodromos. Unfortunately, Mobbes mistakenly drove onto a dirt road and ended up on a tight corner. It took the better half of an hour (ok maybe not but it felt like it) to get out. A Parosian farmer magically appeared out of thin air and helped guide us out, using a mixture of (loud) Greek noises and (even louder) hand gestures. When I got back in the car, Mobbes declared “NO MORE TINY VILLAGES” so we went to Lefkes, a slightly less tiny village with clearer roads leading to it. It was beautiful, with bougainvillea bushes at every turn and an old Byzantine church in the centre square. #passionpassport #traveldiary #paros #lefkes #greece #greekisland #travelnottourist #awesomepic #village #adventure #mustvisit #mustdo

#eurotrip I am back with yet another post on Acropolis because I can’t get over with it! The Acropolis of Athens is the most striking and complete ancient Greek monumental complex still existing in our times. It is situated on a hill of average height (156m) that rises in the basin of Athens. Its overall dimensions are approximately 170 by 350m. The hill is rocky and steep on all sides except for the western side, and has an extensive, nearly flat top. Strong fortification walls have surrounded the summit of the Acropolis for more than 3,300 years. The first fortification wall was built during the 13th century BC, and surrounded the residence of the local Mycenaean ruler. If you are visiting sunny Greece on your Euro trip, don’t miss this great architecture wonder! #passionpassport

I love the Greek island and in particular Paros. Paros is a medium sized Greek island with amazing beaches and more upscale vibes than other Greek Islands. If you plan to do some island hopping, make sure that you come to this gem as well. 😎 The hotel I stayed at is a well designed boutique hotel with less than 50 rooms. Just a stone throw away from the beach and the crystal blue water! 💙 #summervacation #urbanexplorer

Let's face it, all Greek islands are stunning. It's like they won the island lottery. This year, we explored Naxos and Paros in the Cyclades island group. The best part about them? The absolutely gorgeous beaches. The water is so clear and they stretch for miles. Of course, the mountain villages, the quaint towns, the ancient ruins - are all part of the deal too. So, how do you get there? Option 1: Fly from Athens (30 min) Option 2: Take a ferry from Athens of other nearby islands like the famous Santorini or Mykonos Therr are no international flights. Where do you stay? On Naxos, we stayed in Agios Prokopios and it was perfection. Close enough to the main town but right on a beautiful beach. We also did an island highlights tour which was well worth it. On Paros, we stayed in Parikia for convenience. But I'd caution against it, though our time was still nice. Enjoy your Greek Island hopping adventure! #greekislandhopping #naxos #paros

#mediterraneanfood Our trip to Greece was a sun-soaked feast, and the food? Unforgettable. Hands down the best culinary travel experience! For quick and delicious meals, we turned to gyros—fresh pita, tender meat, crispy fries, and creamy tzatziki, all for just a few euros. You really can’t beat that combo! We also indulged in heartier Greek classics like: Moussaka – layers of eggplant, spiced meat, and béchamel, baked to perfection. Lamb Kleftiko – slow-cooked lamb wrapped in paper with lemon, herbs, and vegetables. Spanakopita – Flaky spinach and feta pie. With the summer heat, ice cream became a daily ritual (no regrets), and iced coffees—especially frappés—kept us going between beach days and sightseeing. We sipped local wine, ate baklava for dessert (layers of honey-soaked pastry and nuts), and basically lived our best Mediterranean life.

#greekislandhopping From the moment I arrived, this hotel exceeded every expectation. The location is absolutely perfect — just steps from the beach, with everything you need within easy walking distance. I couldn’t have asked for a better spot to relax and explore the area. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, always ready with a smile and happy to assist with anything I needed, from restaurant recommendations to arranging transport. One of the true highlights was the stunning balcony attached to my room — spacious, beautifully designed, and with views that made every morning coffee and sunset feel like a dream. Whether you’re here for a short getaway or a longer escape, this place strikes the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and charm. Can’t recommend it enough — I’ll definitely be coming back!

#summervacay Naoussa might be the prettiest fishing village in the Cyclades. Whitewashed buildings and tiny alleys open up to vibrant little bars and bougainvillea-covered patios. There’s a trendy-meets-traditional vibe—boutiques, stylish restaurants, but also friendly locals and quiet corners. I loved watching the sunset at the old Venetian port while sipping wine. During the day, you can easily explore beaches like Kolymbithres nearby. Paros is both lively and laid-back—ideal for a summer base.

#greekislandhopping Paros has a peaceful rhythm that draws you in. I strolled through the flower-lined streets of Naoussa, stopping to sip cold freddo espresso. Beaches like Kolymbithres and Santa Maria were ideal for lazy afternoons. There’s a charm in its simplicity, and the locals make you feel at home. Paros is now one of my top Greek islands! I would rate this experience 10/10

#greekislandhopping Island hopping from Mykonos to Paros was the perfect mix of glamour and calm. Mykonos dazzled with its nightlife and iconic windmills, but Paros felt like a peaceful secret. The ferry ride was short and scenic — just over an hour — with blue waters sparkling the whole way. Paros greeted me with quiet beaches, charming white villages, and authentic seafood tavernas. I loved wandering through Naoussa and watching fishermen at work. If you want a contrast from the crowds of Mykonos, Paros is an underrated gem that feels real and romantic.

#greekislandhopping Exploring the Greek islands is pure magic. I started in Santorini, where every sunset feels like a movie scene, especially from Oia. The whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches against the orange sky? Unreal. From there, I took a ferry to Paros—smaller, more relaxed, and just as charming. Wandering through narrow streets lined with flowers and sipping iced coffee by the port made me feel like time slowed down. Island hopping here is easy and surprisingly affordable. Ferries are frequent, and each island has its own unique personality—some are quiet and romantic, others full of energy and nightlife. Why I recommend Greek island hopping: ・Unforgettable sunsets in Santorini 🌅 ・Easy access between islands by ferry ⛴ ・A mix of relaxation, culture, and postcard-perfect views 📍Santorini → Paros, Greece #greekislandhopping #santorini #paros #greecevacation #islandescape #sunsetviews #bluedomes #summerholiday #tripcomcommunity #tropicaltales

#mediterraneanvibes #vianasjourney Paros is another alternatif if you are looking for cheaper version of other famous island in Greece such as Santorini but (personally to me) have similar vibes. They have few traditional village that you can also visit and it’s close to each other so you can explore in a day. There weren’t nothing much to do in the village apart from admiring the unique exterior of the bildings (with bougainvilla flowers crawling on the wall makes it extra pretty), visit some small stall and even small ‘museum’ in each village. The have several of famous beach spot that you can visit but one that I like the most is Kolympethres Beach. It’s a bit of drive out of the town center but the hill view on the background just makes everything looks so much better. There are plenty of vehichles for rent that you can use to explore places. It’s definitely a better alternative for cheaper, less crowd but similar vibes as other islands around.

#greekislandhopping Paros, set in the heart of the Cyclades, combines postcard-perfect villages, golden beaches, and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
