I went to Paros in July 2025 with my friends. During the summer it’s full of life and there are a lot of nightclubs to have fun, especially in naousa where we stayed. The beaches were pretty and the water was clear. I would love to go there again
Posted: June 10, 2026Last summer, I travelled among the Greek islands - my advice would be to choose Paros over Santorini and Mykonos, if you intend to visit just one island. Paros offers everything at the same level/quality as the two I mentioned (it's beautiful), but it's much calmer (the others were unpleasantly crowded), less pretentious and much more affordable, simply because it's not as popular. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy my stays on the other two islands, I did, but I definitely won't come back there...
Posted: July 13, 2023Paros is really a cool place! Stay at the Paros Backpackers hostel (near the port), it's a super sociable place with a roof where everyone meets and spends time! Definitely worth taking a day trip to Antiparos and also to Naousa (a really nice part of the island, but it costs more to stay there). Buses are very easy to understand and it's really a cheap way to get around all the islands.
