If you visit Paros, don't overlook a trip to its smaller sister, the island of Antiparos. An excursion to Antiparos can be made in a day trip, but we recommend you stay overnight to also enjoy the evening atmosphere of the small, eponymous village.
The beaches of Paros please just about everyone. Some have a worldly vocation, Caribbean loungers on the beach, beach club music echoing among the umbrellas. Others are quiet and unexplored, and suitable for families.
It offers trendy bars, upscale restaurants, dreamy hotels and beaches with beach clubs and every comfort. But if you are not a fan of fancy atmospheres you will easily find family-friendly beaches or wild coves, isolated or spartan accommodations, villages that resonate only with the chatter of old people sitting at the bar, and unpretentious taverns.

The small island of Sifnos is a modest version of the Cyclades for a quiet, food-focused trip. Sifnos smells of eucalyptus. Every gust of wind mixes the smell of freshly baked cookies with that of fig leaves. Every nook and cranny is cloaked in caper plants with their round green leaves and white flowers.
A comprehensive guide to all the beaches on the island. Our recommendations, and those of the locals, to please every taste and need.
Fine sandy beaches are few and far between, but the sea is beautiful everywhere, offering sometimes mild beaches with crystal clear water, and other rough waters rippled by the winds of a deep and magnificent blue.
A breathtaking view welcomes you as you arrive from the harbour, which unfolds into a sweeping inlet dominated by a drape of white houses and eight perfectly maintained mills, pitted like red-and-white pearls.
