Parikia itself is full of history, with ancient landmarks and monuments that uncover the island&#8217;s ancient past. The <strong>Minoans<\/strong>, <strong>Ionians<\/strong> and <strong>Arcadians<\/strong> all ruled the island of Paros at one point in ancient times, each leaving their specific touch of identity to the island.<\/p><p><strong>Kastro<\/strong>, also known as the castle of Parikia, is an old <strong>Venetian<\/strong> fortress that was built in 1260. The site was believed to have been built by the Venetian ruler since it had significant meaning as a temple devoted to Athena was found in the 6th century BC at the same location. Today, the walls remain of the tower and are part of a structure believed to be the original temple. There are some amazing viewpoints of the Aegean Sea from here that are worth exploring.<\/p><p>Another popular site from the island&#8217;s past is the <strong>Panagia Ekatontapiliani<\/strong>, also known as the Church of 100 Doors. This is a Byzantine work of art that dates back to the 4th century. It is an example of the history of culture and art that exist in Parikia, Paros. As this is a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, a big celebration is held on August 15th, where fireworks light up the skies and devotees on fishing boats wave flares along the sea. We highly suggest planning a visit here during your holiday to Paros. Make sure to plan as tour groups visit here often and the site gets busy. There is no entrance fee for the church itself, but there is a 3\u20ac ticket purchase required to enter the baptistry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d78c65b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d78c65b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5fdcbf4\" data-id=\"5fdcbf4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-521a3e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"521a3e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.13.3 - 28-05-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1258\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villarentals.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/tourism-parikia.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-390\" alt=\"tourism-parikia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villarentals.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/tourism-parikia.jpg 1258w, https:\/\/www.villarentals.gr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/tourism-parikia-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1258px) 100vw, 1258px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-471c0bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"471c0bf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae2e2ac\" data-id=\"ae2e2ac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c50a92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7c50a92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Restaurants to Eat in Parikia<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf0a6ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bf0a6ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>No visit to <strong>Parikia, Paros, Greece<\/strong> is complete without indulging in the local cuisine\u2026and trust us when we say, you&#8217;re going to want to eat everything in sight!
