Marble artistry island where authentic Cycladic culture meets world-class craftsmanship
You'll experience an island where marble artistry meets Mediterranean authenticity, from hands-on workshops using famous Lychnites marble to exploring mountain villages where traditional life continues unchanged. Paros seamlessly weaves together world-class beaches, ancient quarries that shaped Western art, and cultural experiences that connect you directly with local artisans and time-honored traditions.
You'll discover Greece's most authentic marble artistry island, where ancient quarries reveal 2,700 years of sculptural mastery alongside hidden mountain villages like Lefkes that capture true Cycladic life.
