Naoussa: the evening favourite
Naoussa's fishing harbour is the most popular place for dinner on Paros. In summer book a table ahead, especially at weekends and in August. For something cheaper, look in the lanes behind the harbour.
Parikia: variety, and open out of season
Parikia is the port town and has year-round residents, so some places stay open in spring and autumn. It has both pricier restaurants and souvlaki and bakeries for a quick meal.
Villages and beaches
In Lefkes, the mountain village in the middle of the island, you can eat in a simple taverna with a view. Aliki and Piso Livadi have seaside fish tavernas at lower prices than Naoussa.
What to try on Paros
- Fresh fish and grilled octopus at waterfront tavernas.

- Local wine: Paros has wineries, some offering tastings.
- Pastries: pies from bakeries in Parikia and Naoussa.
