Parikia
Where every Parian story begins — ferries, marble lanes and a windmill keeping watch over the harbour.
Parikia is the capital and main port of Paros — the first whitewash, the first bougainvillea, the windmill that greets every ferry. Beyond the waterfront lies one of Greece's most important Byzantine monuments, the Panagia Ekatontapyliani — the Church of a Hundred Doors — alongside the old market street and the marble remnants of the Frankish castle woven into its lanes. It is where most journeys start, and where ours often do too: your chauffeur waiting at the quay, name sign in hand, cool cabin ready before the crowds have even found their luggage.
