Paros Voted Best Island of 2025: Here's Why Its So Popular
Paros has officially claimed the title of Best Island of 2025, according to a range of travel blogs, lifestyle websites, and online magazines, including Travel + Leisure.
It’s easy to see why. Located in the heart of the Cyclades, Paros has long been admired for its perfect balance of natural beauty, cultural charm, and relaxed sophistication. It’s certainly getting the recognition it deserves AGAIN (this is easily the second or third time it's won the best island vote)!
From the whitewashed alleyways of Naousa to the golden sands of Kolymbithres, Paros offers something for every traveller. It’s a haven for beach lovers, with countless stretches of coastline offering everything from quiet coves to water sports hubs. But Paros isn’t just about sun and sea. Visitors are drawn to its rich heritage, Byzantine footpaths, ancient ruins, traditional villages like Lefkes and a thriving culinary scene that blends Greek tradition with modern flair.
What really sets Paros apart is its ability to offer the authentic Cycladic experience without the crowds of Santorini or Mykonos. There’s a laid-back luxury here that appeals to couples, families, solo travellers and creatives alike. Whether you’re sipping local wine at a sunset taverna or exploring hidden beaches by boat, there’s a sense of discovery around every corner.
The island has also invested in thoughtful tourism, and year-round experiences like hiking, wellness retreats, and art residencies, making it more than just a summer destination.
As more travel writers and influencers shine a spotlight on Paros, its reputation continues to grow. But despite the buzz, Paros remains wonderfully unspoiled.
So, if you’re dreaming of Greek island life in 2025, make Paros your next destination. With its blend of beauty, authenticity and ease, it’s no wonder this Aegean gem has topped the charts.
