BEST RESTAURANTS IN PAROS HOW TO
Read on for my full travel guide to Paros, including how to travel more sustainably, the differences between the villages on the island, and the best hotels and my favorite restaurants. And visiting in the shoulder season (I went in October) gives you enough space to feel like almost the only tourist on the island. It has the vibe of Mykonos, if I may say, but it’s less pretentious and more laid-back.”īut Paros is still a bit under the radar – especially when you compare it with Greece’s mega-destinations like Santorini and Mykonos. The manager of one of the island’s most sustainable (and certainly swankiest) five-star hotels even told me: Granted, Paros has certainly become more touristy in the last few years. So if you’re interested in sustainable travel, whether in Greece or anywhere, definitely check out that post! But it’s not just the sustainability factor that makes Paros a great island to visit. It’s an impressive project in many ways, and I was so happy to get to pull back the curtain and see it behind the scenes. That’s thanks to the local environmental group that’s working to transform Paros into the Mediterranean’s first island with no single-use plastics!
I lingered on Paros because of their leadership in the region as an up-and-coming sustainable travel destination. Still, none of those attractions is the reason I chose to spend 10 days on Paros (far longer than you really need to see the island), and only 3 days on neighboring (and much larger) Naxos. Arriving at the “port” of Antiparos on the ferry (an easy day-trip from Paros!) Add in the blustery Mediterranean, with sunshine that warms the soul well into autumn, and it all makes for a beyond-charming destination. And centuries to even millennia of history in various states of preservation.

(The restaurants on Paros particularly impressed me.)īut you’ll also find striking scenery – from the arid hills of Paros, to the lush mountains of Naxos.
