Curator’s statement
Paros will always hold a special place in my heart because it’s where I spent part of my honeymoon. The island’s stunning views, with its classic whitewashed buildings and picturesque landscapes, made every moment feel magical. The hotels we stayed in offered luxurious comfort while being perfectly integrated into the island’s charm. I also fell in love with the authentic Greek food — each meal felt like a celebration of the island’s flavors and hospitality. From fresh seafood to traditional dishes, every bite was unforgettable. I can’t wait to return and experience it all over again.

Day 1: Arrival & relaxing introduction to Paros
Arrive at Parilio Hotel, your luxurious base for the next few days on the island. After checking in, relax by the pool and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend ordering the Greek salad. When you're ready, head to Naoussa, a charming town on the water with narrow, cobbled streets and local boutiques. Don't miss Artisun Paros, offering unique, handmade designs with semi-precious stones reflecting the Aegean's vibrant colors. For a late snack, grab a gyro at Souvlakia KARGAS. This is the best I’ve had in all of Greece! In the evening, enjoy drinks at Come Back while watching the sunset. Then end the night with dinner at Taverna Glafkos or Sigi Ikthios. Both offer fresh seafood and stunning views of the Aegean.
Day 2: Adventure on Paros
Start the day with the hotel breakfast, a perk when booking with a Fora Travel Advisor! Rent an RTV for the day and set off to explore the island’s countryside. First, visit Lefkes, with its charming whitewashed streets and quaint shops, then continue to Marpissa to wander through picturesque alleys and soak in the local atmosphere. For lunch, stop at Charoula’s Tavern for an authentic, down-to-earth bite, or head to Blue Oyster for fresh seafood and modern dishes right on the water. Afterward, unwind at Kolymbithres Beach, famous for its unique granite rock formations, crystal-clear waters and scenic views of Naoussa. Head back to Parilio for a relaxing late afternoon by the pool. As the sun sets, make your way to Si Paros for dinner with breathtaking sunset views, enjoying fresh seafood and Greek dishes.
Day 3: A day trip to Antiparos
Take a short 7-minute ferry ride from Paros to Antiparos with your RTV, where you'll experience the quiet charm of this smaller island. You will need your RTV to get around as there are very limited taxis on the island. Once in Antiparos, explore Antiparos Town, where you can stroll through charming streets and enjoy great shopping. For the afternoon, head to Soros Beach Club, where you can lounge on beach chairs, enjoy a leisurely meal by the sea and soak up the sun. Spend the rest of your time relaxing at the beach club, swimming in the clear waters or simply unwinding. To cap off the day, drive to The Rooster for sunset drinks and dinner. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the sun setting over the Aegean — the perfect way to wrap up your island adventure.
