4Octopus Grilled with Olive Oil and Oregano

Because Paros is an island surrounded by rich fishing waters, seafood plays a central role in local cuisine. Grilled octopus is one of the most iconic dishes.

The octopus is usually sun-dried slightly before grilling, which helps soften the texture. After cooking, it is drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano. The result is smoky, tender seafood with strong Mediterranean aromas.

Tourists often try grilled octopus in seaside tavernas while watching the sunset over the Aegean Sea.
