Things to do
From rich historical tours to water sports and an exquisite food culture, Paros is teeming with activities and attractions perfect for families. Let's take you on a brief tour of what awaits you on this sunny Greek idyll.
As quintessentially postcard-perfect as it gets, Paros is host to a vibrant array of must-visit attractions. The captivating historical aura of Paros will transport your family back in time – make your way to the ancient city-state markers, or reserve a day to explore the mesmerising architecture of Parikia, the island’s capital.
For the more sport-enthused families, the island's famous Golden Beach provides a prime windsurfing spot, a lovely place to ride the Aegean waves, while land-lovers might enjoy a family-friendly road trip courtesy of Aegean Car Rental Paros, with their flexible booking and cancellation policy.
A visit to Paros Park will immerse your family in nature's best, featuring colourful flora, distinctive rock formations, and turquoise waters. And when all the exploring works up an appetite, book a table at Muzzein for a splendid dinner with a special Cliffside Experience, where you'll enjoy innovative flavours of Nikkei cuisine made from local Greek ingredients.
When to visit
Paros is a charmer all year round but, like Goldilocks, it’s about finding the time that’s just right for you and your family. With a balance of fabulous weather and hubbub of holiday-makers, mid-June through September is typically the preferred spot on the calendar for sunseekers.
For those preferring less crowded beaches and more budget accommodation options, pre-June or post-September are ideal periods to visit. Worth a mention – the island is particularly dry and sunny in August, making it perfect for beach days. As always, remember to plan your visit around school holidays to avoid disruptions.
