Paros Family Hotels – My Advice

• Where to Stay (Parikia vs. Naoussa):
  Naoussa is the “chic” choice. A stunning Venetian fishing harbor packed with upscale seafood restaurants and bars. It is largely pedestrian-only (great for kids) but pricey and crowded in high season. Parikia is the main port and capital. Stay here for convenience (ferries arrive right here) and sunsets. The Old Town is a maze of shops and wonderful to explore, though the seafront road has traffic. Pisso Livadi is the best “quiet” alternative. A cute fishing village on the east coast with a calm beach, great tavernas, and zero pretension. Ideal for families with toddlers.
• Best Beaches for Families:
  Santa Maria, located near Naoussa, is the #1 family beach. Soft white sand, shallow turquoise water, and beach bars for snacks. Golden Beach (Chrissi Akti) is a massive stretch of golden sand on the southeast coast. Famous for windsurfing, but there is plenty of space for swimming. Kolymbithres Beach is famous for its moon-like granite rocks. Kids love climbing them. Tip: The sandy coves are tiny and full by 11:00 am. Arrive by 9:00 am to claim a spot.
• Day Trip to Antiparos:
  An absolute must. From Parikia, small “kaiki” boats take passengers only (30 mins)—great for a walking trip to Antiparos town for lunch. From Pounta, the car ferry runs every 30 minutes (7 min ride). Take your rental car so you can drive to the amazing Antiparos Cave (a deep vertical cave with a staircase that older kids find thrilling).
• The Meltemi Wind:
  Paros is windier than Naxos or Santorini. If it is a windy day, head to south-facing beaches like Faragas or Aliki which are protected and usually calm.
