Panagia Ekatondapiliani, Parikia

This is a superb church that must be visited. Different architectures and historical periods co-exist. It's history is quite complex, though very fascinating, hence the importance of having a guide or a local person walking you through the monument. Even if you are not religious, it's really worth paying a visit to this church. What is also impressive is the cold temperature within the church. So definitely not something to be missed.

Very impressive and yet modest church. Dress modestly and visit it even as a place of interest. One of the must see places in Parikoia and very close to the main roundabout. It usually stays open until 9:30pm. There are also tours explaining the history of the church that are really informative but you need to check if they are done in English. At 8:30 pm there is one in Greek.

A really impressive church. I never expected to find such a church in a small island like Paros. As it is situated in the middle of Paroikia village, I suggest that you visit it. It will not take you more than a few minutes but they will be well spent.

Wonderful architecture and beautiful Byzantine art. The staff is helpful and the atmosphere amazing. Well worth a visit!

A massive, and insanely historical monument to Christianity that dates back to the 4th century AD built by the first Byzantine Emperor. Most of the church has been rebuilt and rebuilt, added without intruding to the former structures and you can see the weight and age of the years in the stone structures. Even if you're not a Christian, you should visit this church and take in the fact that millions of people in the past 1600 years have attended this church, walked the steps and lived and died there.
