Beaches on the East Coast of Paros

Punta

Punta Beach is the most popular beach for young people and surfers on Paros. Long and sandy, southeasterly winds from the sea and north winds from inland converge on Punta. The famous beach bar sits right on the sand, with many trees, a pool and facilities for extreme sports enthusiasts. The heart of youth beats in Punta each summer. The party starts in the morning and continues until late afternoon, with hundreds of twenty-somethings swaying to modern dance beats, both on top of and under the bar and tables.

Drios

Drios beach comprises narrow sandy strip of land with small pebbles, several hundred meters long, with crystal clear water in front of the village with rooms for rent and taverns. Located on the southeast side of the island, the beach is 1.5 kilometers south of Chryssi Akti. The landscape features tall sea pines that combine harmoniously with the rest of the vegetation in a verdant section of Paros. Drios is an ideal destination for a day trip when holidaying on the island. Be sure to swim to the far end of the beach where you will find a strange man-made grooves dating back to Antiquity, when ships came ashore at Diros to wait out stormy weather. The long stone walkway by the beach is ideal for a pleasant stroll after a midday swim.

Logaras

Logaras is located next to Piso Livadi. It is a large sandy beach, with turquoise water. Bathers are protected from the scorching sun by the shade of the tall sea pines, while the seabed is ideal for those who wish to snorkel or fish with a spear gun. Logaras combines a relative calm with the amenities offered by a developed area: rooms for rent, cafés, restaurants, mini markets and tourist shops. It is also ideal for beach and watersports, such as water skiing, beach volleyball etc. The beach also features a panoramic view of the island of Naxos and the interesting Kefalos Hill, an old inactive volcano.

Piperi

Piperi is the ideal solution for visitors staying in Naoussa who don’t want to go far, even for a swim. It is located in the village, beyond the port and easily holds its own against the other beaches of Paros. The sandy beach rivals the best on the island and the pine tree forest lining it is ideal for a picnic after a dip in the deep blue water. There are dozens of places to have a drink or meal near the beach, and it is perfect for families with children who don’t want to be troubled by packing up the car and driving to the beach.

Lolantonis

Lolantonis took its name from the tavern situated on the hill overlooking the sea. Park the car and take the path leading down to one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches on the island. Be sure to bring your own umbrella and mats, as the beach is not organized and natural shade under the sea pines dominating the seascape is limited. However, when the sun heads towards the west in the afternoon, the cliffs on the left side of the shore cast plenty of shade. Lolantonis is one of the beaches that appeals to those seeking peace and to commune with nature, as it is considered the farthest from “civilization”.
In addition to the renowned Loloantonis Tavern, there is also another place to eat overlooking the beach.

Molos

Molos is located in an idyllic spot between Kefalos and Antikefalos hills, at the foot of the village by the same name. It is a vast, sandy beach in a rugged yet charming landscape, which offers a sense of isolation. Set up your umbrella and spread out your towel wherever you like as, space is one of the beach’s main attributes. There are also many sea pines, and a small picturesque harbor at the southern end of the beach, where a few boats and other small vessels moor under a whitewashed Aegean church dedicated to Agios Nikolaos, patron saint of sailors.

Kalogeros

The smaller Kalogeros beach is located just next to the large, sandy Molos, and is reachable via an uphill and downhill dirt road that forms the “neck” of the small peninsula, which rises above the sea and is covered in all the colors of the rainbow in spring. The beach takes its name from the legend of the monk (kalogeros in Greek) who took his own life falling from the cliff into the sea. The beach is characterized by the unique color of the sand, which results from the green and red clay rocks in the area. Vegetation is low and the oddly formed cliffs offer shade in the afternoon. The beach is undeveloped and visitors should come prepared with all basic necessities.

Tsoukalia

Tsoukalia is fairly large beach under Antikefalos hill, north of Molos, with few tourist facilities. A small number of sea pines provide shade in the center, and the summer winds often make waves, as the beach faces northeast. Windsurfers can often be seen battling the waves in the open sea.

Glyfades

Glyfades is a large and wildly beautiful beach situated next to Tsoukalia and near the road leading from Lefkes to Naoussa. The summer winds often attract surfing enthusiasts in the summer.

Chryssi Akti

Sandy Chryssi Akti beach is the largest and one of the most beautiful beaches on Paros, and is a true paradise for sea and watersports enthusiasts. The conditions are also ideal for sailing. It is a Blue Flag beach with excellent infrastructure, modern hotels, rooms for rent, surf clubs, restaurants and bars.

Nea Chryssi Akti or Tserdakia

Nea Chryssi Akti is a long, sandy, organized and crowded beach, and one of the beaches of Paros preferred by surfers from all over the world. The World Windsurfing Championship was held there in the 90s. Sports enthusiasts will find everything they need at Nea Chryssi Akti to enjoy air and water sports. Beginners need not worry. Instructors await to introduce them to both. There is no shortage of tourist shops, accommodation, bars and clubs for all ages.
