eclared by the poet George Seferis as the loveliest of all the Cyclades, Paros is a combination of gilded beaches and shadowy valleys, hills deep with ancient treasures and terraces of luscious fruits, towns of minimalist masterpieces and grandiose neoclassical edifices, all wrapped into a neat heart-shaped parcel in the very centre of the Aegean.
A paradise for surfers, an inspiration for artists, a place of religious pilgrimage, a hiker’s treat, a favourite with families yet also a hotspot for bar-hoppers, there’s something for everyone here, and all within easy reach.
