Welcome to Paros, the fourth-largest island of the Cyclades and one of the most charming! You’ve just picked up your rental car, queued up your favorite playlist, and now you’re ready to explore the island at your own pace — with comfort, freedom, and a sense of adventure. Below are some of the most beautiful road trips you can take around Paros by car. Let’s go!

1. Lefkes – The Mountain Gem of Paros

Hop in the car and head to the mountain village of Lefkes, once the island’s capital. With its stone-paved alleys, elegant old mansions, shady trees, and the majestic church of Agia Triada, Lefkes feels like a step back in time. It's the perfect spot for anyone who loves tradition, photography, and peaceful walks. This is where you'll truly understand what "authentic Paros" means.

2. Kolymbithres – A Surreal Beach Experience

Just a few minutes by car from Naoussa, Kolymbithres is a beach like no other! Granite rock formations carved by nature, small secluded coves, and crystal-clear waters invite you in for a swim. Whether you want to relax in style or try some water sports, this is your spot. Beach bars and cafés complete the experience, making it perfect for a full-day outing.

3. Aliki – Seaside Bliss with a Taste of Local Life

Drive south to Aliki, a charming fishing village known for its peaceful beaches and some of the best seafood taverns on the island. Time slows down here — enjoy lunch by the sea, sip on a refreshing ouzo, and take a stroll by the tiny harbor as the sun begins to set. Ideal for families or couples looking for a romantic escape.

4. Prodromos – A Village with True Cycladic Charm

This small, traditional village is a perfect stop on your way to Lefkes or Marpissa. Walk through the arched gateway into the village and discover flower-filled courtyards, friendly locals, and cozy old-fashioned cafés. If you're into photography or love architectural details, Prodromos will capture your heart instantly.

5. Marpissa – Art, Culture & Breathtaking Views

Perched on a hillside, Marpissa is alive with artistic energy — home to galleries, cultural festivals, and stone-built houses. Wander its narrow lanes, pop into local cafés, and sample traditional sweets. From here, you can also hike up to the Monastery of Agios Antonios on Kefalos Hill for stunning panoramic views, especially magical at sunset.

With a car, you can experience Paros the way it was meant to be seen — without limits, beyond the tourist trails, and entirely at your own pace. From hidden beaches to charming mountain villages, Paros is ready to be explored like only the locals know how.
