Architecture sights in Paros

  1. Panagia Ekatontapyliani

    Dating from AD 326, this is one of the most splendid churches in the Cyclades. The building consists of three churches: Agios Nikolaos, with superb columns of marble and a carved iconostasis; the Church of Our Lady and the Baptistry. The name means Our Lady of the Hundred Gates, but this is a wishful rounding up of a still-impressive tally of doorways.

  2. Lefkes

    Lefkes is the island's highest and loveliest village. It boasts the Agias Trias Cathedral, an impressive building whose entrance is shaded by olive trees. But the village's real charm is the serenity of its pristine alleyways and buildings. Lefkes clings to a natural amphitheatre amid hills whose summits are dotted with old windmills.
