Typical Mediterranean climate of the Cyclades. Dry, warm and very sunny summers, tempered by the sea breeze and seasonal winds *Meltemi*. The scarce rainfall is concentrated in winter.
The Aegean Sea that bathes Paros is crystal clear, refreshing in spring and reaches pleasant temperatures of between 23°C and 25°C during the summer months.
The seasonal northerly winds (*Meltemi*) blow strongly in July and August, creating ideal conditions for sailing sports but generating waves on north-facing beaches.
BajoTodo lo que necesitas saber para planificar tu visita
From May to June or from September to October. These dates offer ideal temperatures for walking and enjoying the beaches with a calmer atmosphere and more moderate accommodation prices.
During the month of August, demand for ferries to Paros and accommodation in Naoussa skyrockets, so it is recommended to book several months in advance.
Excellent wifi coverage in hotels, cafes, ports and commercial areas of Parikia and Naoussa.
On days with strong wind *Meltemi*, north-facing beaches like Santa Maria register higher waves; opt for sheltered coves to the south or west.
The local bus line (*KTEL*) is excellent and very punctual, although having a car or scooter makes it easier to explore hidden coves and inland towns.
Be sure to try the traditional chickpea soup (*revithada*), a signature dish that taverns traditionally serve on Sundays at noon.
When visiting historic churches such as Ekatontapiliani, you should dress respectfully, covering shoulders and knees.
