The British newspaper Express has highlighted the Aegean island of Paros as a charming and less crowded alternative for travelers, showcasing it as an outstanding destination.
Recently, Paros was featured in the Times’ list of five secret European destinations to explore, noted for its ability to offer a peaceful retreat from crowded tourist hotspots.
With its tranquil beaches and budget-friendly taverns, Paros stands out as a prime location for those seeking the beauty and allure of the Cyclades without the overwhelming tourist traffic.
The article describes Parikia, the island’s capital and main port, as a hub of authentic Cycladic architecture, home to small boutiques, historic churches, the ruins of a Frankish castle, various museums, and the Monastery of Panagia Ekatontapiliani.
Meanwhile, Naoussa, the island’s second-largest town, is recognized for its vibrant nightlife, high-end restaurants, and luxury hotels.
Paros is also celebrated for its array of beautiful beaches, including Chrissi Akti, (Golden Beach), Santa Maria, Naoussa Bay and Agia Irini.
Visitors have the option to rent boats or embark on boat tours, which reveal hidden spots around the island, featuring crystal-clear waters, charming seaside villages, and even a sunken airplane.
Additionally, Paros has been featured on SustainableGreece.co.uk, thanks to the efforts of the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) Office in the UK and Ireland.
This inclusion aims to highlight sustainability initiatives for Greek destinations and promote eco-friendly tourism to both the British audience and the global tourism market.
The information provided through the GNTO platform has facilitated the development of new, enriched travel packages, offering authentic, “smart,” and environmentally conscious holiday experiences.
