There are also a few small vendors and beach clubs where you can pay a fee (usually about €10 for two people) to rent an umbrella and two chairs. You can walk here from anywhere in Parikia and it so long enough that there are plenty of places to relax for free. It starts off being called Livadia Beach and leads into Parikia Beach, but they are in the exact same bay so really it’s the same stretch of sand. Located just on the edge of Parikia town, so close to the port you can watch ferries come and go while you swim in the Aegean, this is one of the best beaches in Paros if you are staying in Parikia and don’t want to travel anywhere. This, of course, will affect your visits to the different beaches in Paros and is something to keep an eye on.ĭuring my most recent trip to the island, my weather app (the one that comes with an iPhone) showed me how many days it was going to be around and at what time of day the wind would be strongest. This wind is felt most strongly in Paros, Naxos, Santorini, Amorgos, and Ios. Unfortunately, the Meltemi tends to be at its strongest in July and August, though it’s possible that it can arrive any time between May and October. It is very strong and can start with absolutely no warning at all (and leave the same way). It results each year from high pressure over the Balkans and relatively low pressure over Turkey. Etesian comes from the Greek word etos which means year as this wind without fail, arrives every year. The ancient Greeks called this the Etesian northerly wind. It’s the wind that will ruin your beach days but will also make the island feel so much cooler than summer days in Athens. If you’ve never heard of the Meltemi Winds, fear not, most first-time visitors to the Cycladic Islands haven’t heard of it before. Those that don’t have few, if any rules about simply parking on the side of the road.
