Parikia
The capital and commercial centre of Paros, Parikia is a fascinating mixture of the old and new. The windmill in the port is surely one of the most photographed buildings in Greece and the old town retains its charm and the warren of narrow streets offer a mixture of traditional shops and more touristy outlets. Above the town lies the monastery which offers fantastic views over the town and bay. Below is the Church of Ekatontapliani (the Church of one hundred doors – well 99 anyway!) which dates back to the Byzantine period. The marina plays host to countless yachts during the summer as sailors from all over the world pit their wits against some of the most challenging sailing conditions in the Mediterranean.
Parikia has a wide range of bars and restaurants, with something to suit every budget; traditional Greek tavernas vie with more modern restaurants offering a variety of international cuisines. The main bars and clubs lie on the seafront to the south of the port and you can relax and watch the sunset over a cocktail with classical music, talk over the days events to jazz and blues or party all night in one of the many clubs.
Naoussa
Naoussa is breathtakingly beautiful.
The picturesque fishing port is served by numerous tavernas and ouzeries, whilst the village which cradles it spreads up the steep hillside affording views over the bay. Whilst keeping its traditional roots Naoussa offers a sophisticated nightlife scene with many upmarket clubs which are open ’til dawn. A short boat ride takes you to two of the best beaches on the island, Monistiri and Kolimbithres and there is also a bus service to nearby Santa Maria for water sports.
Marathi
The road from Parikia to Lefkes and Marpissa 
will take you up to the marble quarries at Marathi, source of the famous Parian marble. This marble was prized for its translucency and fine texture, and was used by ancient sculptors for their best work, including the Hermes of Praxitelous and the Venus de Milo.
It is possible to explore the mines to this day, if you take a torch and aren’t too claustrophobic!
Lefkes
Still 
largely untouched by tourist development Lefkes nestles in the hills and has fine views of Naxos. The Church of Agria Triada dates to the Byzantine period and is well worth a visit. The architecture and atmosphere of Lefkes combine to give a traditional feel to the village and at over 300m offer a respite from the heat of the summer and is a “must see” for visitors. The more adventurous can walk the Byzantine Way down via Prodromos to the sea, an especially beautiful walk during the spring when the flowers are in full bloom.
