Most Often Questions
What is the best area to stay in Paros?
For most travelers, Parikia and Naoussa are the best choices. Parikia is more practical and easier for first-time visitors, while Naoussa is better for atmosphere, dining, and boutique stays.
Is Parikia or Naoussa better?
It depends on your trip style. Parikia is better for convenience, ferry access, and easier transport, while Naoussa is better for couples, restaurants, and a more polished holiday feel.
Do I need a car in Paros?
Not always. If you stay in Parikia or Naoussa, you can manage without one, especially on a short trip. But for quieter beaches and less central areas, a car is very useful.
How many nights should I stay in Paros?
I would suggest at least 3 to 4 nights to enjoy the island properly, though 5 to 7 nights is even better if you want beach time and a slower pace. This is an editorial recommendation based on the range of areas and stay styles covered in Paros travel guides.
Is Naoussa worth the higher prices?
Yes, if you care about atmosphere, dining, and a more stylish stay. If your priority is value and convenience, Parikia often makes more sense.
Where should I stay in Paros without a car?
Parikia is usually the easiest choice without a car, and Naoussa also works well. Both are more walkable and practical than the quieter beach areas.

Best luxury hotels in ParosÂ
1. Cove Paros – Naoussa
2. Lilly Residence-All Sea View Suites – Naoussa
 
If you are planning a couples’ trip, Lilly Residence has a lot going for it.
The sea-view suites, the elegant pool area, and the adults-only atmosphere make it feel romantic without trying too hard.
For me, it is the sort of hotel that works best when you want easy access to Naoussa but still want your hotel to feel serene and a little indulgent. More Information Here!
3. Parilio Hotel – Kolimpithres
If design matters to you, Parilio is very hard to resist! This was one of the best new hotels for 2020 as it was voted in Travel and Leisure magazine for 2020. It is located in Kolimpithres, on the northern coast of the island.
Everything about it feels polished and beautifully considered, but never cold. I’d suggest this one to travelers who want a stay that feels quietly luxurious, close to Naoussa but with enough distance to keep the mood calm, sophisticated, and very… Paros.
The hotel restaurant. MR E, has a menu of fresh fish and seasonal Greek and Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the island’s nature!
The breakfast and pool snacks are delicious, offering local produce with a more modern twist.
4. Summer Senses Luxury Resort – Logaras
Another recent addition is the luxurious hotel scene in Paros. Summer Senses is one of those hotels that instantly puts you in holiday mode.
The rooms are refined, the pools are gorgeous, and the whole place feels calm and carefully done.
I would check this one if you want a more complete resort experience in Paros, with a spa, a strong breakfast, and the kind of setting where it is very easy to slow down and stay a little longer than planned.
5. Cosme, a Luxury Collection Resort – Naoussa
If you want something stylish and classy, but still close enough to enjoy Naoussa’s restaurants and evening energy without giving up that calm, luxurious feel then Cosme, a Luxury Collection Resort I think would be definitely a string candidate.Â
Right on the seafront near Naoussa (right on the beach of Agii Anargyri,) it blends a Cycladic look with the kind of details that make a holiday feel easy — elegant suites, a beautiful pool, a private beach club, and a very refined overall atmosphere.
6. PAROCKS Luxury Hotel & Spa – Ambelas
Parocks Luxury Hotel & Spa is one of those hotels that feels instantly calming.
It is elegant without trying too hard, with beautiful suites, a serene pool-and-spa setting, and a more secluded atmosphere that makes it easy to switch off.
For me, it makes the most sense for a romantic stay or for anyone who wants the quieter, more polished side of Paros. More Information Here!
7. Poseidon of Paros Hotel & Spa – Golden Beach
Poseidon of Paros Hotel & Spa feels like a classic summer escape on the quieter side of the island. Right by Golden Beach, it has that easy resort atmosphere that works especially well if your idea of Paros is long beach days, open sea views, and plenty of space to properly unwind. I
’d look at this one for the beachfront setting, the relaxed luxury feel, and the fact that it gives you a more peaceful base away from the busier rhythm of Naoussa and Parikia. More Information Here!
Best Value for Money Hotels
8. Hotel Senia– Naoussa
Senia Hotel is one of those places that gets the balance right: close enough to Naoussa to enjoy the town properly, but still calm enough to feel like a real break once you are back by the pool.
The sea-view suites are the reason I’d look at it first, especially if you want that open, blue-and-white Cycladic feeling without going fully resort-style, and the two pools — including the infinity one facing the bay — give it a much more special feel than a simple town stay.
It is a very good fit if you want Naoussa at your fingertips but still want your hotel to feel scenic and relaxing, not just convenient. More Information here!
9.Apollon Boutique Hotel – Parikia
Apollon Boutique Hotel is a great little choice if you want to stay in Parikia and keep everything close by.
It is near the beach, easy for the center, and has a simple boutique style that feels pleasant and unfussy. I would look at this one if you want a comfortable base that makes exploring feel effortless. More Information Here!
10. Glyfa Village – Drios
Glyfa Village is the kind of stay I’d choose for a quieter, more low-key side of Paros. Set right by the sea near Drios, it feels more personal and relaxed than a typical hotel, with whitewashed houses, garden space, and that easy rhythm that suits long beach days and slow mornings.
I’d look at it especially for the seafront setting and the extra space, which makes it a very appealing option for families, couples who want more privacy, or anyone who prefers the calmer southeast side of the island over the buzz of Naoussa. More Information Here!
11. Tarsa Studios – Drios
I like this hotel! It is so close to the beach that you can listen to the sea waves from your balcony!
It is also close to Golden Beach (a 5′ – 10′ minute walk). But the strong point of this hotel is the host, Petros, who will help you with anything! More Information Here!
12. Despina’s Mare – Naoussa
This new and excellent accommodation becomes even better because of the lovely host, Despina.
Despina will help you with everything you might need, and she also provides an excellent breakfast, which is always a plus!
Furthermore, it is spotless and close to the picturesque Naoussa! More Information Here!
13. Paros Butterfly Villas – Pounta
These nicely done villas in Pounta offer some dreamed views of Antiparos Island! You will definitely enjoy the sunset view from the pool!
And you can also book the rooms with a private Jacuzzi if you want an extra touch of luxury in your holidays!!
Note that it requires a car, as it is a little bit isolated. More Information Here!
14. Argonauta Hotel– Parikia
The location is very close to the port, the waterfront, the bus station and all the services a traveller would want.
The location is so good that you walk straight off the ferry, and the hotel is about 300m away!
It would be best if you tried the incredible menu, which is delicious and with many options. More Information Here!
15. Paros Bay– Parasporos
If you want a quiet, relaxing stay in a beautiful environment, I think this would be ideal for you.
It is relatively far from the town ( you can always use the bus service). The big plus is that it’s located right on the bay and near the beach!
The rooms are fantastic, and the pool is just wonderful! More Information here!
16. Villa Kelly Rooms & Suites– Naoussa
Very clean, well decorated and with a relaxing swimming pool! It is located a 5-minute walk from Naoussa. More Information Here!
17. Dafni’s Philoxenia – Naoussa
This beautifully designed hotel is situated in picturesque Naoussa, a 3′ walk from the centre!
The cleanliness, the comfort and the space of the establishment are really amazing!
But, even if it is an excellent aparthotel, the star here is Dafni, who elevates the whole experience! Note that in case you have a car, there is also free parking! More Information Here!
18. Saint Andrea Resort Hotel – Naoussa
An excellent hotel with a beautiful pool and a delicious breakfast.
The centre of Naoussa is a 15-20-minute walk, so I think it would be better if you had transport.
The view of the sea from the rooms is marvellous! More Information Here!
19. Parosland Hotel – Aliki
It is located a few minutes from the beach and Aliki, a charming village that remains family-friendly.
It has a rich and varied breakfast and a great pool area, ideal if you have children!
The hotel is clean, and a beautiful garden with olive trees surrounds it! More Information Here!
20. Piperaki rooms – Naoussa
Piperaki rooms are a great place to stay, cosy and comfortable with an excellent breakfast.
The location is spot on, as there are two small beaches within 5 minutes walk, and the old port is a 10 minutes walk!
But the big plus of the property is Kostas, the host who will help you with whatever you need! More Information Here!
21. Akrotiri Hotel– Parikia
The view from the room over the port is amazing. The breakfast is delicious, with various foods, like spinach pies, Greek yoghurt, and many more local products.
It is located on the other side of the port, and it is tranquil and peaceful. It is away from the main shopping area, about a 20-minute walk into the main town. More Information Here!

23. To Kyma – Drios
It is more of a family hotel and an excellent value-for-money choice! It is located in the small and quiet village of Drios and is connected by bus.
You can easily walk to Golden Beach if you like exercising before swimming!
Also, I should mention that it is an excellent restaurant with good Greek and family cuisine! More Information Here!

I think that Irini rooms will fit your needs if you are looking for a hotel close to Naoussa centre, clean and affordable!
The hotel is in a very nice location, halfway between the old town/port and the beach—only 5 minutes to both! The rooms are very close, and they offer beautiful sea views! More Information Here!

This hotel is only a few steps from the closest beach and has many beautiful restaurants and bars within walking distance. It is located on the main harbour in Parikia.
You will enjoy some beautiful sunsets if you select the rooms with the sea view! You should also try the food at the restaurant, which has a small but delicious menu!
The hotel is an excellent value-for-money choice!! More Information Here!
26. Akteon Hotel– Logaras
This is probably the best budget hotel I recommend. It is located right on the Logaras beach and offers excellent sea views. The cleaning service is good. There is also a bus station a few minutes walk away, which is always a plus if you don’t have any transport. More Information Here!
