Parikia Old Town
Parikia is the capital of Paros and the main ferry port. The old town is full of historic charm and hides a surprising maze of whitewashed alley ways to explore and unearth some real hidden gems.
PWhilst the islands second town Naoussa might receive more acclamation, we believe that Parikia has retained more of its old world charm. The old town comes as somewhat of a surprise once you pass the typical tourist spots on the front row of the port. Don't be deceived there is a large old town behind full of quaint alley ways and high quality boutiques. Hip bars are tucked away, and restaurants occupy hidden courtyards offering welcome shade. The old castle and Venetian build church are historical hidden gems.
