Paros. Distance from Pireaus: 95 n.m Paros, the third largest of the Cyclades islands after Naxos and Andros, has developed into an important center of tourism in recent years. The coastline is indended, with numerous small inlets and two large bays, those of Naoussa in the north and Parikia in the west. Parikia, the island's capital and port, stands on
the site of an ancient city. There is a picturesque and ruinous Venetian
castle. A broadpaved avenue leads to the church of Ekatondapiliani
or Katapoliani, one of the most important byzantine monuments in
the whole of Greece. |
