Paros is the third largest island in the Cyclades. The population of the island is 13,000. The coasts of the island, some of which form beautiful beaches (mainly on the eastern side of it) and of course small harbors and others are steep and rocky, are more divided on the north side. There is the great bay of Naoussa, one of the most picturesque ports in the Aegean. The other two big bays of the island are located to the west (Parikia) and to the east (Marble).
Parikia, the capital of Paros with its passenger and commercial port and mill, is built on the gulf of the island. It has beautiful settlements, but also, if you walk in its narrow streets, it will enchant you. Ekatontapyliani and the pine forest next to it, the Venetian castle on the old market and the church of Agios Konstantinos, the hill of Agia Anna with the two mills, the trademark of Paros, the pine trees on the coastal street (Yannis Parios street) and all kinds of shops attract the visitors. All year, in Parikia, the port of Paros, but mainly from spring onwards, ships go by bringing people and products.
