Parikia Paros: Also called Paros Town or Hora. Parikia is the capital of Paros, Greece. Parikia was built on the same site where the ancient city and capital used to stand. This little town is the commercial and cultural centre of Paros as well as the main harbour of the island, serving many other islands; for the many connections Paros offers, thousands of visitors that pass by Parikia every summer to catch a connection for another island. Parikia is built amphitheatrically around the port and has a typical Cycladic architecture, with whitewashed cubic and flat roofed houses with spare architectural lines and coloured wooden doors, windows and balconies. On the entrance of the port, a superb whitewashed windmill welcomes the visitors and constitutes the trademark of Paros. The bus and taxi stations are located nearby. Numerous restaurants, taverns, cafes, bars and night clubs line the one side of the coast.
