Museums in Paros

Paros has a history of human occupation that goes back beyond the dawn of history. It's not known who the first residents of the island were, but in the age of classical Greece, it became a colony of Athens. That gives it thousands of years of recorded history, and plenty of museums to go with it.

• Paros Archaeological Museum: This is probably the best place to come if you want to get to grips with the rich and fascinating history of Paros. The artifacts here date back to the very early stages of the occupation of the island before it became part of the greater Greek world. The long history of Paros means you'll see artifacts of Greek civilization, Roman exploration, and the legacies of the many empires that have held sway over this part of the Mediterranean up until the present day. It's the perfect place to spend a few hours learning more about the forces that made the island what it is today.
• Frankish Castle Paroikia: Located in Parikia, the capital of Paros, this castle has a misleading name. It wasn't actually built by the Franks but by the Venetians, who later took control of Paros. Either way, this small fortress is a fascinating structure, dating back to 1260. Visiting the small on-site museum lets you learn more about the centuries of Venetian rule of Paros that ended with the Ottoman occupation.
• Ancient Marble Quarries: Paros marble was known throughout the ancient world for its extremely high quality, and so the island was home to many marble quarries. This brand-new archaeological park was founded in 2022 with the aim of one day becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's fascinating to wander in this open-air museum and learn more about how marble was quarried here and the effect it had on the economy of this island. This is where the marble was quarried to build Napoleon's tomb, so Paros has had an influence that extends far beyond the ancient world.

Shopping in Paros

Paros is all about relaxation, and so you won't find many designer goods here. What you will find instead is local handicrafts and products that make perfect souvenirs, and shopping in the family-owned stores of the island while your bags are safely left behind in luggage storage in Paros is a great way to spend some time here.

• Blu Dot: The past has a powerful influence in Paros, as it does in all of Greece, but that doesn't mean everything here is about history. Blu Dot offers contemporary Greek designs incorporated into clothing and jewelry you'll want to wear right out of the store. Locally owned and operated, the shop is a great place to support local businesses.
• Melissa: Souvenirs don't have to be tacky. Melissa is a concept store that aims to provide fun and quirky Paros and Greek-branded items you won't be embarrassed to be seen with. T-shirts, handbags, wallets, hats, and other items proudly proclaim their origins and let you celebrate your time on the island while still being stylish.

Restaurants in Paros

• Stou Fred: If you want to change from traditional Greek food, the French chef at this restaurant provides cuisine from another powerhouse of European flavor. The set menu demonstrates culinary techniques over five courses and changes every week, but whatever you find when you visit, you can rest assured it will be delicious.

• Statheros: Of course, sometimes what you want is Greek food, and what you want in Paros is Parosian food, and that's what you'll find on the menu here. This seaside meze restaurant is a family business that has been serving up incredible local cuisine for decades, and the ocean view doesn't hurt either.
