About Paros
Paros is a Cycladic island of white villages, marble quarries and sandy bays, with the harbour town of Parikia and the fishing port of Naoussa.
Parikia, the port and capital, has a Venetian kastro built from blocks of ancient marble and the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, the Church of a Hundred Doors, said to date from the fourth century. Naoussa, on the north coast, is a fishing harbour with a small Venetian fort at the water's edge and tavernas along the quay. Sculptors in antiquity prized the island's marble, known as Parian marble.
