My Favorite Hotels in Paros
- 5-Star: Cosme
- 4-Star: Opal
- Boutique: Stelia Mare
- Budget: Villa Isabella
- Beach Resort: Cove Paros
- For Couples: Mythic
- For Families: Poseidon of Paros
- Parikia: Argonauta
- Naoussa: Cosme

Mythic, high above Agia Irini Beach, is our favorite Paros hotel for couples. Staying at one of the hotels in Paros with a private pool is one of our top recommendations for travelers who want a touch of luxury and privacy.

It has a large deck with great views.

The private pool overlooks the main pool and restaurant (great food).
Paros is a beautiful island only 2 hours by ferry from both Santorini and Mykonos. Offering great beaches, a lively nightlife, and wonderful whitewashed towns, Paros is one of my favorite islands in Greece.
My favorite places to stay on Paros are Parikia (where the ferry port is located) and Naoussa. Both are charming towns with loads of restaurants, lots of nightlife, and several wonderful nearby beaches. Both are great for walking, shopping, eating, and evening strolls. Parikia has direct ferry access and more shopping. Naoussa has better restaurants, closer beaches, and a trendier, upscale vibe (with hotel prices to match).
My favorite beaches on Paros are Kolymbithres, Chrissi Akti (Golden Beach), and Santa Maria. Most beaches are easy to get to by bus but renting a car does allow you to see more of the island in a short amount of time.
Antiparos is a great side trip (or day trip) from Paros, with wonderful beaches, food, and small family-owned hotels. Boats leave frequently throughout the day and evening from both the small port at Pounta (car and passenger ferries) and the main port at Parikia (passenger only). To Stathero is my favorite restaurant on Antiparos and worth the trip over by itself – great traditional Greek food and located steps from where the boats from Paros arrive.
