“The Church of a Hundred Doors” in Parikia dates to the 4th century and is said to have been founded by St Helen, the mother of Constantine when she stopped on the island during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
It is one of Greece’s outstanding early-Christian monuments, with architecture mostly from the 6th century during the rule of Justinian after the first church was damaged by fire.

Given the island’s distinguished history a visit to the Archaeological Museum should be high on your agenda if you’re interested in Ancient Greece.
The museum is on the small side, but has a lot packed into its two rooms and courtyard.
There’s Archaic and Classical sculpture, as well as pottery and a variety of other finds from the Neolithic to Roman times.
Outside is a lapidarium, with funerary friezes, architectural pieces, urns and a Roman mosaic.
One unmissable exhibit is the statue of Gorgon in a fantastic state of preservation and dating to the 6th century BC. Also fascinating are the relief plates from a memorial for the Parian poet Archilocus, alive during the 7th century BC, and the statues of Nike and Artemis, both from the 5th century BC.

Die Höhle von Antiparos
Castle Of Antiparos
In the mountainous centre of Paros, Lefkes is a gorgeous village settled on the slope at a height of 300 metres.
You can take a tour with your own two feet on little alleys and pine-shaded squares with tavernas and traditional bakeries.
The Agia Triada Church, built from fine Parian marble and flanked by two majestic belfries, is a good place to begin and has some invaluable Byzantine icons.
On the streets you’ll see a couple of washhouses, which are still used by a few inhabitants, while the slopes above the villages are sprinkled with windmills.

For hikers and ancient lovers.
Winemaking has a tradition on Paros that dates back at least 5,000 years to the Cycladic era.
The Venetians also produced wine on the island, and Paros is the island where the Monemvasia grape was kept alive when it died out everywhere else.
Established in 1910, the Moraitis Winery is now in the family’s fourth generation.
On a visit you can go into the ageing cellars underground, see the antique winemaking implements in the museum and taste their full range of reds, whites, rosés and dessert wines with a cheese and meat board.

Wild scenery. This beach on the east coast only ever has a few bathers.
There’s no built-up tourism here, just a mushroom-shaped sandy bay with views of Naxos, bookended by the Kefalos and Antikefalos hills.
To the south of the bay is a small harbour, hemmed by strange granite rock formations.
Kefalos hill is also worth your attention as it’s an extinct volcano.
At the top, standing in the crater, is the 16th-century monastery of Agios Antonios, while the vestiges of a 15th-century Venetian castle sit nearby.

this beach is actually a string of sandy coves, all separated by surreal granite rocks that also litter the water around the bay.
Over many millennia these rocks have been chiselled by the sea and north wind into all sorts of strange shapes that look like they were sculpted by an abstract artist.
Their faces are also marked with ridges, straight vertical lines and holes, and you can sunbathe on top of some and climb others to indulge your curiosity.
Try it in the afternoon when its not so crouded.

Faragas, a small but beautifully formed stretch of sand sets far in from coast and out of the wind.
The beach has a single bar, which provides sun lounger rental and full waiter service, so you won’t even have to get up for a drink or meal.
The bar also plays music depending on the time of day.
The water is as calm and transparent as you’d hope, and for a bit more seclusion you can head along to one of the tiny coves on either side of the beach.Very "in". Organized and crouded during summer high season.

As ever, the sea is shallow and transparent, but it’s the wind that sets Golden Beach aside: The beach is a honeypot for windsurfers and kite-surfers, and if you’ve ever been curious about trying these sports for the first time you may not find a better location in Greece.
For everybody else, the shallow water and a cold drink are enough exhilaration.
