Where to stay in Parikia, Paros
Parikia is the island's main town and its ferry port — the first thing you see when you arrive and the last thing you leave. Step back from the waterfront and it becomes a maze of whitewashed lanes, shops, cafes and old churches. Twelve of our homes are here, more than in any other village, and almost all of them are a few minutes' walk from the middle of it.
Heart of Paros Apartments
Eight studios and one-bedroom apartments right in the centre of Parikia, next to the main car park and on a quiet street. In under five minutes on foot you are in the busiest part of the village, with two beaches the same distance away. They sleep 2 to 4.
The Beach Cave
Fully renovated, three bedrooms, sleeps 5, and about six minutes' walk from the port. This is the one to take if you are arriving or leaving on an awkward ferry — you can walk off the boat and be indoors before your luggage stops rolling.
Memoir di Paros
Three apartments in a quiet residential pocket set back from the noise, for 2 to 4 guests. Renovated throughout, and a short walk from both the beaches and the town.
Who Parikia suits
First trips to Paros, ferry-heavy island-hopping, and anyone who would rather walk everywhere than hire a car. It is also the easiest base for exploring the rest of the island.
