Paros

Paros is an island in the Cyclades group in the central Aegean. It is the third largest island of the Cyclades and its position on important sea routes between mainland Greece and the coast of Asia Minor made it an important centre from the early Bronze Age through to Roman times. The island was also famous for the high quality of its marble which became a popular material for sculptors and architects throughout antiquity.

Bronze Age Paros

First inhabited from c. 3200 BCE (or perhaps even earlier), important settlements from the Early Cycladic Period include those at Drios, Avyssos, Galana, Gremna, Kampos, and Plastiras. The relatively high level of culture in the early Bronze Age is attested by the wealth of decorated pottery finds and in Cycladic sculpture which produced elegant marble figures rendered in a minimalistic style.

At the island's capital Parikia (Paroikia) on the west coast the first indications of settlement date to the early 2nd millennium BCE and the area was continuously occupied through Minoan and Mycenaean times and settled by colonists from Attica c. 1000 BCE being occupied until around 700 BCE. On the north coast at Naoussa there was a major Mycenaean settlement which prospered in the 13th century BCE but was destroyed in c. 1200 BCE. Nevertheless, the site was reoccupied from the 10th century BCE and once again enjoyed a period of prosperity from the 9th to the mid-7th century BCE. Koukounaries on the east coast was also an important Mycenaean centre in the 13th and 12th centuries BCE and continued into the mid-7th century BCE. It was here at Koukounaries that the oldest temple on the island was built, the temple to Athena dating to c. 700 BCE and which survived into Classical times.

Let me convince you that the Greek island of Paros is THE place to be.

Here are my top 5 reasons to pack your bags and head there for your next holiday.

1. Get lost in the charming village of Naoussa, the picturesque fishing village in the north of Paros. Strolling through its narrow, cobbled streets and admiring the white-washed houses with blue doors and windows will make you feel like you're living in a postcard. The village is also home to a beautiful Venetian castle and a bustling marina.

2. Embrace the vibrant nightlife in Parikia. If you're in the mood for a night to remember, look at the island's capital, Parikia. This lively town is brimming with bars, clubs, and tavernas, offering a fantastic mix of traditional and modern. So, put on your dancing shoes and get ready to party the night away with the locals.

3. Explore the ancient history at the Panagia Ekatontapiliani Church. Built in the 4th century, the Panagia Ekatontapiliani (also known as the Church of 100 Doors) is a must-visit for history buffs.

4. Soak up the sun at the golden beaches of Paros. What's a Greek island holiday without some beach time, right? Paros boasts an array of stunning beaches, each with its own unique charm. Whether you're looking for a secluded spot to unwind or a lively beach with water sports, you'll find it here. My favourites are Kolymbithres Beach, with its otherworldly rock formations, and the windsurfer's paradise of Golden Beach.

5. Sail away on a boat trip to nearby islands. No trip to Paros would be complete without exploring the surrounding islands. Hop on a boat tour and discover the breathtaking beauty of nearby Antiparos, Naxos, and the uninhabited islets of the Small Cyclades. The crystal-clear waters, stunning landscapes, and secluded beaches will leave you speechless.

¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! 🌍 ¡Feliz miércoles! Hoy os regalo una imagen de Paros, una pintoresca isla situada en el mar Egeo, perteneciente al archipiélago de las Cícladas en Grecia.

Conocida por sus playas de arena dorada, aguas cristalinas y encantadores pueblos de casas blancas con detalles azules, Paros es un destino turístico popular. La capital de la isla, Parikia, es famosa por su puerto animado, sus callejuelas laberínticas y la iglesia bizantina Panagia Ekatontapiliani, una de las más antiguas y mejor conservadas de Grecia.

Otro atractivo notable es el pueblo de Naoussa, que combina el encanto de un tradicional pueblo pesquero con una vibrante vida nocturna. Paros también es conocida por su mármol, utilizado desde la antigüedad para esculturas y edificios, incluyendo la famosa Venus de Milo.

Vida consciente 🌟

Hay personas cuya salida de nuestras vidas nos causa un dolor profundo, pero con el tiempo y la distancia, al volver a encontrarlas y conocer su trayectoria, entendemos que no nos hemos perdido absolutamente nada. A menudo, estas personas no han crecido o no han cambiado de manera positiva, y su ausencia, en lugar de ser una pérdida, resulta ser una liberación. Esta comprensión nos ayuda a apreciar el valor de nuestra propia evolución y a reconocer que algunas separaciones son, en realidad, beneficiosas para nuestro bienestar y crecimiento personal. A veces cuando crees que pierdes, ganas en realidad.

Paros is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea best known for its beaches and traditional villages. Parikia, the bayside capital, is a boating and transportation hub for the Cyclades region. It's also home to the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, a landmark Byzantine church from the 4th century A.D. The north coast's Kolimbithres is a beach where naturally sculpted rocks form swimming coves

Paros is a Greek island in the central Aegean Sea.

One of the Cyclades island group, it lies to the west of Naxos, from which it is separated by a channel about 8 kilometres (5 miles) wide. It lies approximately 150 km (93 miles) south-east of Piraeus. The Municipality of Paros includes numerous uninhabited offshore islets totaling 196.308 square kilometres (75.795 sq mi) of land. Its nearest neighbor is the municipality of Antiparos, which lies to its southwest. In ancient Greece, the city-state of Paros was located on the island.

Historically, Paros was known for its fine white marble, which gave rise to the term "Parian" to describe marble or china of similar qualities. Today, abandoned marble quarries and mines can be found on the island, but Paros is primarily known as a popular tourist spot.
