There are much longer hikes available if you want to do a significant amount of walking on Paros. If you walk around all the trails it will take about 2 hours to get back to the beach. The rock formations are really interesting and you can walk up to the lighthouse.

There are a few things going on there and you could enjoy a half or full day in the park quite easily.Īround the area, there is a small network of simple trails. In the peninsula at the very top of Paros you’ll find Paros Environmental Park.

Optional if you go in winter! Bonus: Walking in Paros Park Then slather it all over your body and bake yourself in the sun. If you walk towards the end (to the right as you approach) you can take sand off the rocks. The waves here can be big when the ferries go past so leave your stuff high up on the rocks. Follow that for a few hundred meters to reach Kalogeros Beach. To the right of the church as you look at is a dirt road. You’ll see the boats in the small harbour at the end of the beach. But apparently, there’s a dirt track that runs alongside it that I should have taken instead. I followed the little asphalt road to the beaches. If you want some easy-going walking in Paros then try this one route from Maramara village to Kaolgeros Beach. During the summer you can get a boat taxi back to Paroikia if you prefer. It takes around 45 minutes to walk to the church. You’ll pass various beaches that you can choose to stop at on the way or way back. Walk around the seafront and then along the road to get there. Start at Paroikia/Parikia Beach and look across to the church on the edge of the peninsula. This is a mostly flat walk from Paroikia around the cove to the peninsula opposite.

It should take you around 50 minutes each way plus a few minutes for photos and to admire the view. Once you turn off the main road it’s quieter. Be careful on the first part as the road can get quite busy. Follow the walking route set out by Google Maps. Start from Paroikia walking past Paroikia Beach. It is uphill all the way but most of it is a steady climb. But for a good view of the harbour, this is the walk to do. Unless you’re a history buff I wouldn’t recommend this as a cultural trip, there’s not much of the sanctuary left. It’s slightly uphill this way so leave an hour to get back. Take your time to enjoy your food and do a spot of people-watching before heading back the way you came. As you enter the village there are laminated signs pointing you to the centre.Īmble along the alleys until you happen up the taverna of your choice for lunch or an early dinner.

Just keep following the road until you get to Prodromos. Once you’re on the path you can’t get lost. Go along the path and then look to the left for the brown sign marking the route. Then follow the sign for the Byzantine Path down the steps at the corner of the square. Start with a drink at Agiazi cafe in Lefkes (closed in winter). You’ll walk along a marble road through olive groves, pines and land that’s regenerating after the 2021 wildfires. Take a pleasant 45-minute walk from charming Lefkes to lovely Prodromos. Once you’ve finished your visit head back down the stone path and retrace your steps. Remember that to go into the monastery you’ll need to dress appropriately. There’s a little courtyard where you can rest if you need to. Spend a moment there and take in the views before heading up to the monastery itself. Squeeze along the little track ahead and visit the little white church. The path winds up through the shady trees to bring you out to the remains of a Byzantine church. Just before you get to them you’ll see a brown sign directing you to a marble path on your left. Turn right and head towards the 3 crosses. Once it does you’ll see the sign above with info about the castle that originally stood there. But it’s eight-ish minutes of effort and then it evens out. The first part up the road is quite steep. You can see the monastery on the hill in front of you so head for that. Facing them you’re going to walk diagonally up to the right across the car park.įollow the asphalt road round to the left and out of the village. Start the walk at the Marpissa windmills. It’s an uphill walk to get there but that’s the only way to get the views! And these ones are amazing if you go on a good weather day. If you hadn’t planned to go to the village then I can recommend a special trip. If you’re visiting Marpissa then add an extra hour to walk to this monastery. This was my favourite thing to do when I was on Paros in the winter. Walk to Marcelo Beach and Agios Fokas Church.Delion Sanctuary of Apollo near Paroikia.Walk to St Antonios Monastery, Marpissa.
