Lefkes village & Paroikia sunset

Experience the charm of Paros at sunset on this half-day evening tour, combining traditional village life, history, and breathtaking Aegean views.

Depart from the designated pick-up points in Alyki, Paroikia, or Naoussa and begin your journey to Lefkes, a picturesque hillside village once serving as the island’s capital. Nestled among olive groves and pine-covered hills, Lefkes preserves its authentic Cycladic character. Stroll through marble-paved lanes, admire traditional whitewashed houses, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as the late afternoon light softens the landscape.

Continue to Paroikia, the island’s vibrant capital. Visit the Panagia Ekatontapyliani, the “Church of a Hundred Doors,” one of Greece’s most important Byzantine monuments. Wander through the charming old town with its narrow alleys and traditional architecture, and make your way to the Frankish Castle area, offering panoramic views over the harbor. As the sun begins to set, witness the Aegean Sea bathed in golden and crimson hues. Enjoy free time to take photos or relax at a seaside café before returning comfortably to your pick-up point.

Travel in a modern, air-conditioned coach accompanied by a knowledgeable English-speaking escort who shares local stories and historical insights throughout the tour.
