Lefkes

No visitor to the island of Paros should miss the triangle formed by Marpisa, Kostos, and these historic settlements. Located 11 kilometers southeast of Parikia, this picturesque village has white buildings and is built in the style of the Venetians. Tourist attractions that stand out are the well-known museum and the Byzantine church of Agia Trias. On the fringes of the settlement, you can witness windmills that have been well restored.

The name "Parian" was coined to denote marble or china of comparable characteristics because Paros was once well-known for its exquisite white marble. However, Paros is largely renowned as a well-liked tourist destination. Today, abandoned marble quarries and mines may be found on the island.

The east coast of Paros is home to a number of beaches, including Golden Beach (Chriss Akt), Pounda, Logaras, Piso Livadi, Naousa Bay, Parikia, and Agia Irini. The strait between Paros and Naxos is a popular windsurfing spot because of the consistent high winds that blow there.
