Parikia

🌅 Parikia is the main town and port of Paros — the island’s year-round heartbeat and home to most of its locals. Its winding alleys, whitewashed homes, and seaside promenade capture the essence of everyday Cycladic life. 🏛️ At its center stands the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, one of the oldest churches in Greece, dating back to the 4th century. Around it, you’ll find cozy cafés, family-run shops, and traces of Paros’s rich history woven into every stone. 🌇 As evening falls, the harbor glows under golden sunsets, sailboats drift by, and the waterfront fills with the gentle buzz of dinner and laughter — a perfect blend of simplicity, tradition, and timeless island charm.
