Primarily known as a ferry hub, Paros has remained under the radar among the hype of other popular Greek holiday destinations. Though its relative anonymity is quickly coming to an end; warm and welcoming rural villages surround the alluring capital city, offering visitors the chance to indulge in Greek cuisine in beautiful surroundings. The harbour still attracts the biggest crowds, especially in the spring time when the island is less busy, the weather is pleasant and the water become slightly warmer. The shoreline is constructed of unique rock formations and golden sands; Kolymbithres Beach is perhaps the most aesthetically interesting area across the coast, which provides unmatched views of the endless azure blue seas engulfing the smaller neighbouring islands. Away from the waters, myriad of historical and cultural sites are dotted about the island, providing a fascinating insight into the history of Paros. Panayia Ekatondapiliani Cathedral is typically at the top of the itinerary for most tourists, and for an extended look at the archaic architecture, head to Parikia Town which is host to many cultural landmarks.
Car and motorbike rental companies are fairly cheap throughout the year, though the prices increase in the summer months. In terms of public transport, a bus service operates frequently throughout the towns, and are generally quite affordable.
Sikinos is quintessentially Greek; whitewashed house shine underneath the powerful rays of the Mediterranean sun and luxurious beaches decorate the coastline in a wave of golden sands and tropical foliage. Bouncing clubs and exuberant bars are replaced by quaint cafes and picturesque walking trails; Sikinos may not be the ideal destination for partygoers, but if you’re looking for a relaxing time amid peaceful surroundings – it’s the place to be. Comprised of just two small villages – Chora and Kastro – the permanent population houses just over 300 people, showcasing the heavily tourist focussed atmosphere. Head there in the summer months and it will embody a hive of families, friends and couples, enjoying the tranquillity. The whole island affords an assembly of looking spots, offering breathtaking views of the stunning landscape, but there are seldom places more beautiful than the charming harbour. Small, colourful yachts line the docks, resting near cool, welcoming tavernas and cafes typically serving delicious seafood fresh from the waters. The pristine paradise of Sikinos has enough natural beauty to satisfy any type of visitor, however, for an insight into the cultural history of the island, The Temple of Episkopi and The Monastery of Zoodohos are impressive pieces of architecture.
A bus service covers the entirety of the island, running fairly regularly throughout the day. There are also motorcycles for hire, and the obvious choice of walking is popular.
