The Cyclades for food. Paros has the wine (Mantilaria), the fish (Ambelas harbour), and the Naoussa village that locals point to when asked what Mykonos used to be. Ferry from Athens 3h.
Mostly sunny with the odd cloud. Real holiday weather.

Common questions about Paros
When is the best time to visit Paros?
May–June and September–October are when we'd go. Skip July–August: heat that regularly passes 35°C. The live forecast on this page shows what the next two weeks look like.
Is Paros worth visiting in October?
Yes. October sits inside the best stretch (May–June and September–October). Once your dates fall within the next two weeks, the forecast above gives you the real picture.
Is Paros good in July?
We'd go another month: July means heat that regularly passes 35°C. Locked dates? It still works if you make sure the room has air conditioning that works.
Dates settling? Compare hotels on Booking and flights on Kiwi — both open with 7–14 Oct filled in, the forecast's best window. Adjust the dates on the site; the hotel and the flight are separate bookings.
