Can you ever get tired of the Greek islands? I guess not! Especially since each and every one of them is super unique while always offering the perfect mix of delicious food, stunning beaches, and interesting history!
The best place where to stay in Paros is Naoussa, a fabulous town with awesome beaches and attractions! However the island is pretty big, so I’ve added 4 more places to stay in Paros to this post including Parikia which is perfect for history lovers, Piso Livadi for families, Aliki for the best beaches, and Golden Beach if you’re into water sports.
In each town, I have found you the best hotels and listed them from most to least expensive! But whichever one you choose, book it in advance! Boutique hotels, budget hotels, it doesn’t matter, all the accommodations in Paros, Greece will sell out so fast, just like all hotels on the Greek islands as this country receives so many visitors!
NOTE: The hotel prices in Paros, vary between seasons with prices up to €100 extra during high seasons (July and August). So make sure you count that in before you book your tickets for the summer!

1. Naoussa – where to stay in Paros for the first time
What I wouldn’t give to be on a Greek island right now! Luckily you’re headed that way now and to one of the best places to stay in Greece, Paros!
Naoussa is a beautiful village in the north part of the island that sits in a natural bay. This coastal village is a great place for first-timers as it has a little bit of everything! Great hotels, amazing beaches with soft sand, fun nightlife, and many attractions like the half-sunken Venetian castle.
Although Naoussa is a popular holiday destination, the picturesque fishing village has maintained its traditional charm and it’s still filled with whitewashed cottages with blue window frames, doors, and many colorful flowers.
The small fishing port is super charming but there are also lots of exciting things to discover inland as well. You’ll probably spend hours exploring the narrow cobbled streets, looking for souvenir boutique shops (there are many) and tavernas to eat delicious food!
You can also take short trips to other nearby beaches like Santa Maria and Kolymbithres beach! Or you can ditch everything else and check out the lively bars in Naoussa!
One thing that everyone needs to know about Naoussa is that all the hotels sell out super fast as this is the most popular place to stay, book yours in advance to avoid missing out on your favorite spot!
This beachfront resort has charming Greek decor! Featuring rooms with private porches that overlook the sea or the beautiful garden, this accommodation is a mesmerizing oasis where guests can relax at the spa all day, swim in the lagoon-style pool, and eat yummy food at the restaurant on-site.

2. Parikia – where to stay in Paros for history lovers
The Greek islands are a paradise for any history enthusiast!
If you’re eager to learn more about this unique island then I recommend finding a place to stay in Parikia, the island’s capital, and where most people usually arrive.
Parikia is home to some of the biggest historical attractions on the island like the Church of the Virgin Mary Ekatontapyliani, the Church of 100 Doors, and its small archaeological museum!
You’ll fall in love with its Old Town, which is made out of narrow streets filled with colorful flowers, small tavernas, and a small village square.
But if you’re looking for some action, the port area is alive day and night, with ferries coming and going every hour. Around the port, there are plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes where you can dine and wine after a long fun day at the beach.
Speaking of beaches, you didn’t think that this town doesn’t have any, right? I just wanted to leave the best at the end!
There are lots of beautiful sandy beaches in Parikia, and some of the best ones are Livadia Beach and Paralia Parikia Beach. But if you are like me and can’t get enough of the beaches here, you could even jump on a ferry and spend a night or two in one of the many hotels on Naxos Island, which is super close to Paros!
I like the minimalistic design of the rooms at his modern hotel in Parikia, plus they have all the facilities you need including air-conditioning and a flat-screen tv. Enjoy a delicious Greek breakfast before you head out to explore the island. Or if it’s too hot, head for a swim in the indoor pool!

Well, Piso Livadi is just that spot! Set on the south-eastern side of the island, this village was until recently inhabited just by locals. However, in the last years more and more hotels opened, and tourists started to come as well.
In spite of that, the small village still feels kind of untouched by tourism and has managed to keep its Greek charm.
The harbor area is probably the busiest part of town, as this is where all fishing boats and ferries arrive. Apart from that, you’ll find the Piso Livady sandy beach, a great spot for you and the kids to swim, chill on the sun loungers and enjoy the sun all day. Not too far from here there’s also find Logaras beach which is much bigger but just as beautiful!
