Full-Day Tour of Paros and Antiparos: Villages, Castles & Coastal Charm

We start in Paroikia, the main town of Paros. First, we visit the Frankish Castle, built over an ancient temple of Athena. Right next to it is the church of Saints Constantine and Helen, in the heart of the old town. This area offers some of the most scenic views in Paros.

We continue through narrow alleys to reach Panagia Ekatontapyliani. Built around 400 AD, this church is one of the oldest in Greece. Known as the “Church of a Hundred Doors,” it is both an architectural gem and a major pilgrimage site.

From Paroikia, we drive to Pounta port and take a short ferry to Antiparos Island. There, we walk through the lovely town and visit the ruins of a 15th-century Venetian fortress. You’ll also have free time for lunch or a swim.

After returning to Paros, we head to the mountain village of Lefkes. This former capital sits at 250 meters above sea level. Pine forests, olive trees, and vineyards surround it.

Our final stop is Naoussa, once a pirate hideout. Now it’s a charming fishing village with white-washed houses and colorful boats. We walk through the village and along the harbor—an ideal spot for great photos.
