The one is just after you come over the “pass” from Aliki area. Tripiti is smaller but good for snorkeling because there is a cliff and the rock goes into the water. There is a very nice taverna/restaurant sitting back from this beach. Glifa is sandy, has a row of trees so just about everyone can have shade. Glifa/Tripiti Beaches: Two for the price of one! Actually separated by a wee bit of rock and land. Two additional points: one, a mystery and two a family villa for rent. ![]() Actually this beach goes deep very quickly–probably not a good place for small children who cannot swim. Be sure to take your snorkel gear as there are lots of big rocks under the water. Some people come here just for the atmosphere and sit and read and pick up pretty rocks–thats me, Karin. There are trees to sit under and also the restaurants at the edge of the beach are also under tall trees making it a very nice cool spot to eat lunch or have a cooling drink. This beach is pebbly (rather pretty little pebbles). At this beach you have it all…three restaurants and a little gift shop. There a sign points down a very interesting windy road that goes between houses and in front of tavernas ending at a pier with room to turn around to go back to the parking lot behind tall walls. To reach the Drios beach you must go a bit further east, almost at the edge of town. However it is not as nice as the one called Drios Beach. One is reached from the center of town next to the supermarket. Lay in the sun and bake! It gets hard and slightly green! Then you jump into the sea and wash it off. Then scrape out lots of the greenish cliff dirt. How to take a mud bath! Be sure you have a plastic bucket with you and a plastic shovel (pretend you are a kid). Keep right…up the beach a very short walk until you get to the cliffs….that is where you find the mud–actually a type of green clay found at various places around the world. Then a short easy walk down to the sandy/pebbly beach. But in this case, you must turn right! The road goes up a slight hill and you park at the top. You must go through Marmara and follow the only road to the end. The old timers don’t want to give directions in fear of spoiling the experience from overuse. One just hears tales about the famous mud baths near Molos. Most people never heard of it, or don’t understand how to get there. Most personal comments are by Karin with just a little editing by Michael. Also the photos below were taken throughout the year, some in winter, some in high season, so you can’t judge the beach by the number of people shown. These beach names have many variations, all correct. ![]() Please keep in mind that spelling Greek words with latin letters is an inexact process. We start at the east edge of Parikia then move around the island to the north past Naoussa then down along the east side and around the southern tip to Aliki then up the west side ending back in Old Town. There are many more not even counting the countless small coves along the miles of coastline. Think what a delightful time you will having finding your favourite.īelow we list some of them. Families with children love Kolimbithres. Pictured in the header is our favourite is Agri Irini which is out of the way (un-crowded) yet has a beach taverna. North of Ambeles and South of Boutakes are small, quiet coves where you can find a small, private beach for just the two of you. Nearby Pounda Beach Club is crowded with young bodies writhing to the endless beat of base music. It is big, wide and sandy and full of windsurfers. Chrysi Akti is better known as Golden Beach. The long running four are Chrysi Akti, Kolibythris, Logaras and Tserdakia. Paros has several Blue Flag rated beaches the ratings vary over the years. For that you will need transport: car, jeep, scooter, quad or ?Ĭlick on photo for wide selection at lowest rates We usually recommend to visitors that they circle the whole island on their first day to have a better idea where they want to return. There is no doubt you will want to see it all. The visitor has too look a few over and decide if he wants a small cove all to himself–and significant other, a wider stretch with a small taverna and a few other people or the big party beach such as Golden Beach with hotels, cafes, windsurfers, waterskiing, etc. There are far too many sandy beaches large and small to enumerate them all. Experienced island hoppers favor Paros because there is so much to do here as well as the relaxing atmosphere it offers great beaches, lively towns and ancient sites. We tend to take our beaches for granted so it is difficult to write about them. ![]()
