There's more to Paros than beaches :) There are fantastic archeological ruins and historic buildings.
The Monastery of Panagia Ekatontapiliani - one of the best-preserved Paleo-Christian monuments in Greece. Built 4th century AD. The original church was constructed by Saint Constantine, first Emperor of Constantinople, after the offering of his mother, Saint Helene. Ekatontapiliani means the Church with the Hundred Doors. According to tradition, the church has 99 doors and a secret door will open when the church of Hagia Sofia in Constantinople will be Orthodox again.
Smack bang in the labyrinth of little lanes with shops and restaurants is an Orthodox church from 1843.
So many shopping temptations but they won't fit in a backpack 🙂
You could spend hours wandering the little lanes, with refreshment stops of course☺️
