8Naoussa vs. Parikia – Where to Stay?
Paros has two main towns: Naoussa and Parikia. Naoussa is an elegant fishing village with boutique hotels, stylish bars, and an upscale yet laid-back atmosphere.
Parikia, the island’s capital and port town, has a more budget-friendly and bohemian feel, offering plenty of tavernas, bars, and historical sites. Choosing where to stay depends on your preference—luxury and nightlife in Naoussa or a more relaxed and cultural vibe in Parikia.
