Steeped in history, Parikia's name hails from the Middle Byzantine years (7th century), when "Pariki" signified settler or foreigner. Today, we understand that it was during this era that Ekatontapyliani, the Church of a Hundred Doors, was constructed upon an ancient Protochristian catacomb site.

With its colourful fishing boats, upscale seafood restaurants, and enchanting streets, Naoussa has evolved from a humble fishing village into a fashionable destination that perfectly blends natural splendour and cosmopolitan allure.

Nestled in the heart of Paros, on the way from Parikia to Lefkes, Kostos village remains a charming, off-the-beaten-path destination known for its authentic Cycladic village structure, with its main square surrounded by the church, the school, and the town-hall.
