Car Rental in Paros
General Information about Paros
Paros, the third-largest of the Cyclades after Naxos and Andros, has developed into an important centre of tourism in recent years.
The coastline is indented, with numerous small inlets and two large bays, those of Naoussa in the north and Parikia in the west.
Parikia (or Paros Town), the island's capital and port, stands on the site of an ancient city. There is a picturesque and ruinous Venetian castle, and the courtyards of the houses of the town - all of them painted white - are full of pots of basil and hung with jasmine and honeysuckle. A broad paved avenue leads to the church of Ekatondapiliani or Katapoliani, one of the most important Byzantine monuments in the whole of Greece and a place that figures largely in legend. It is dedicated to the Dormition of Our Lady, and on her feast day (15 August) there is a great celebration on the sea-front with fireworks and songs of the sea.
