Paros Barefoot Package
For the beach Lovers, a must-see list of Paros beaches
Livadia beach is the closest authentic beach to Parikia, the capital of Paros, 700 meters from the harbour divided into several different sections from fully organized one with sunbeds, umbrellas and water sports facilities to more wild ones, shadowed by the trees that are boarding it. As Livadia Beach is located close to the campsite of Parikia, it can easily get crowded with young people.
Kolympithres beach is perhaps the most impressive and most must-seen beach in Paros because of its interesting geology. The granite rock formations are millions of years old and have created a unique scenery. The shape of the bay creates a natural division into two main beach areas, both served by its own beach club, with several, smaller patches of sandy beach in between the rocks. Two water sports centres flank the beach, offering a variety of activities including windsurfing, mini sailboats, kayaks, and SUPs.
Piperi beach is Naoussa’s most important beach, and it is just about 50 meters walk from the main road leading to the centre of the town and about 250 meters from Naoussa’s main fishing port. There you can snorkel or just sunbathe among the rocks. It is a tiny yet scenic beach and is perfect for swimming, scuba diving and even fishing with a view of Naoussa and its bay at a distance. It is about 350 meters from the town of Parikia with its eateries and bars. Piperi Beach is sometimes classified into the Megalo and Mikro Piperi (large and small beach). Both beaches are sandy and have crystal water.
Agia Irini beach is a small beach located a few kilometres south of Parikia and is boarded with beautiful palm trees, giving to the place a tropical atmosphere. A lovely church of the same name stands right on the beachfront. This is a dreamy site, but it can get crowded sometimes because it is small. Just behind the beach there is a very relaxing campsite, almost non-organized, full of palm trees and olive trees and has a very good tavern serving a big variety of Greek traditional food. Agia Irini beach is located far away from the asphalted road and must be reached from a footpath.
Logaras beach is in the south part of Paros, 18 km away from the island’s capital, Parikia. Situated a couple of km away from the village of Piso Livadi. It is a long sandy beach and is surrounded by bars and hotels. It is a medium-size beach while the sand is rather stony.
Agioi Anargiroi beach is a small bay in close distance to Naoussa, on the northern side of Paros. Part of this beach is organized with sunbeds and umbrellas, while the rest is secluded. Due to its distance to Naoussa, the second largest village of Paros, this beach gets crowded n summer. Some small hotels and rooms for rental surround this sandy coast.
