Paros, as one of the most beautiful Cycladic islands, attracts thousands of tourists every year. It offers a combination of inviting sandy beaches, picturesque villages and interesting nightlife, resulting in an assortment of visitors. Parikia, also called Paros town or Hora, is the capital of Paros island and has about 3,000 inhabitants. Parikia was built on the same site where the ancient city and capital used to stand. This little town is the commercial and cultural centre of Paros as well as the main harbour of the island, serving many other islands. It is built amphitheatrically around the port and has a typical Cycladic architecture, with whitewashed cubic and flat roofed houses with spare architectural lines and coloured wooden doors, windows and balconies. On the entrance of the port, a superb whitewashed windwill welcomes the visitors and constitutes the trademark of Paros. Numerous restaurants, taverns, cafes, bars and night clubs are lining the one side of the coast road (which is closed for the cars during the evening) while the town’s beach is boarding the second part of the road. Paros is located at 2 ½ hours by high speed ferry from the Port of Piraeus.
