Cruise offers to the port Paros, Cyclades / Greece
From Parikía you can get to some sights of the island such as the Butterfly Valley or remains of an Asklepeion. You can just as well stay in the small town and enjoy the hustle and bustle. Right at the harbor stands the windmill, typical of the Cyclades islands. Behind it the market street with social activity. Sights are the Venetian fortress, the cemetery over 3,000 years old, the cathedral and the Katapoliani Church, a Byzantine construction. However, here tourism is of great importance and therefore not as much Greek charm as on the other islands. Sports lovers are well cared for in the area, however: surfing and swimming is possible and in the clear sea on the white beach it is really nice.
