5Paros – A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Modernity
Paros is an excellent destination for those seeking a more relaxed yet equally beautiful Cycladic experience. The island’s capital, Parikia, is home to stunning examples of traditional Cycladic architecture, including the famous Church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani, one of the most important Byzantine monuments in Greece.
The village of Naoussa is another architectural gem, boasting whitewashed buildings, picturesque fishing harbors, and narrow alleys adorned with bougainvillea. Unlike the more tourist-heavy islands, Paros has managed to preserve its authentic charm while embracing modernity, making it an ideal spot for those who want to experience Cycladic architecture without overwhelming crowds.
