Overview

Experience Paros nature and local life with a smooth hike through its most beautiful and authentic villages and paths with a half day private guided tour. Depending on the season and your interests, you can explore Paros Park and Agios Ioannis Detis peninsula, the ancient marble quarries, or the traditional villages of Lefkes and Prodromos in the heart of the island.

Start early in the morning or late in the afternoon and hike close to the sea and amidst unique rock formations in Agios Ioannis Detis peninsula on the island’s northernmost point. Great as a sunset walk, it can be expanded along the coastline of Kolimbithres and up Koukounaries Hill for more majestic views, crazy rock formations and prehistoric ruins.

An alternative route follows the remnants of the ancient Marble Quarries in Marathi. You will have the chance to learn more about the value of the Parian Stone “Paria Lithos”, the precious material of Venus de Milo & the Parthenon Marbles.

An easy sunset hike is along the ancient Byzantine Path from Lefkes to Prodromos, a historically important trail. As you follow your experienced tour guide, listen to stories of ancient history, adventurous pirates, and noble knights. Stop to discover the smells of the Cyclades, identifying wild herbs like oregano, fennel, sage, and thyme.

This private activity, is suitable for school age children and teens.

The itinerary will be determined according to the age and physical conditions of the participants in coordination with your guide.
