When staying on Paros Island, I highly recommend staying in Naoussa! Naoussa offers the ultimate mix of beach and town, with the fun nightlife and restaurants nearby. 

If you're staying with a group and want a simple but large space, Ioanna Rooms was perfect! With multiple apartments in their building, we met other travellers and made friends upon arrival.

First things first once we got off the ferry and checked into our hotel, we went to Moraitis Winery for the most amazing and relaxing afternoon of wine tasting and snacks. The winery was truly beautiful with the most delicious locally made wines offered. We spent hours sipping and laughing, followed by a tour of the winery from the friendly staff.

After this, we went down to the Naoussa Marina for dinner at an incredible restaurant called Mediterraneo for classic greek Moussaka, grilled octopus and delicious cocktails.

After dinner, we headed over to all the bars! This was seriously one of my favourite bar hopping/chill clubbing scenes I've ever been to! It was so fun but laidback, and the square between all the bars was so fun to hang out and meet people.

On day 2, beaching it is a must! There are lots of nice beaches in Paros, we opted to go to Santa Maria beach, which is a bit more local and less touristy! There's a nice, laidback beach club and restaurant as well.
