Amazon Prime Series 'Malice' Filmed in Paros
Paros has always had a quiet magnetism, the kind that draws travellers back year after year, but now the island is stepping confidently into the global spotlight. Amazon Prime’s newest series, Malice, chose Paros as one of its key filming locations, bringing the island’s natural beauty, traditional charm, and cinematic atmosphere to screens around the world. This exciting moment celebrates what locals and devoted visitors have known for years, Paros is a place filled with character, colour, and effortless visual appeal.
Several villages across the island appear throughout the series, each offering its own unique flavour. Kostos, with its winding lanes and traditional Cycladic homes, reflects the peaceful rhythm of island life and highlights Paros’ timeless architecture. Aliki, known for its fishing boats, gentle harbour, and welcoming waterfront, adds a warm and authentic feel to the scenes filmed there. And Paroikia, the lively capital, contributes vibrant streets, scenic corners, and those unforgettable Aegean sunsets that seem created for storytelling.
Having Malice shine a spotlight on Paros is more than just an interesting fact, it marks a moment of recognition for the island’s cinematic potential. Its landscapes, from bright white villages to shimmering beaches and crystal blue water, naturally lend themselves to film. This exposure helps introduce Paros to a wider audience, inspiring future travellers who may never have considered the Cyclades for a filming location break or summer escape.
Looking ahead, the success of Malice could pave the way for more creative projects. Paros offers filmmakers everything they need, including diverse scenery, reliable weather, easy access to neighbouring islands, and a rich cultural backdrop that adds depth and authenticity. Locals are excited to see familiar settings appear on screen and even more excited to imagine what future productions might choose Paros next.
With its beauty, charm, and growing recognition, the future of filmmaking on Paros feels full of possibility.
