Villa Parikia (Paros)

Parikia is the capital and main port of Paros: the island’s year-round hub, with a ferry to Piraeus in under three hours and an airport ten minutes from town. This three-bedroom house sits within a small development on the edge of town, oriented toward the sea, with the old town, beaches, and ferries all within easy reach.

The property covers 131 sqm across two floors. The total plot is 1,000 sqm, with low dividing walls between properties; the character of the site is open and spacious rather than divided. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are distributed across the two floors. The house is sold fully furnished and equipped throughout.

Double-glazed frames and air conditioning cover both heating and cooling. Hot water is supplied by a solar boiler. The property includes on-site parking and a security alarm.

The 1,000 sqm plot, bounded by low walls rather than solid divisions, gives the property a sense of open space consistent with a standalone house. The property has nice sea and town views.

Rental potential
Three bedrooms, a shared pool, and the full infrastructure of Parikia at the door make this a property that works as both a private family base and a managed rental. Paros draws a consistent international visitor flow from May through October - the season is genuine and long. Parikia, as the island’s most connected settlement, has the added advantage of functioning year-round: permanent services, regular ferry schedules, and a local population that keeps the town active outside peak summer.

For buyers who plan to use the property in key weeks and rent it around the rest of the calendar, the setup is well-suited. The furnished condition and shared pool mean a rental is ready to operate without any further outlay.

Location
Parikia is the capital and main port of Paros. The old town is a genuine piece of Cycladic fabric: whitewashed cubic houses, narrow cobbled alleys, blue-domed churches, and the ruins of a 13th-century Frankish Kastro built in part from ancient marble. At its centre stands the Panagia Ekatontapiliani, the Church of a Hundred Doors, one of the earliest and best-preserved Christian basilicas in Greece, dating from the 4th century AD.

Livadia beach, sheltered from the summer Meltemi winds and well-suited to families with its shallow entry and full facilities, is within walking distance north of the town. Krios beach, three kilometres from the centre and reachable by kaiki from the port, offers calm, clear water with a beach bar and restaurant. Naoussa, the island’s second town with a picturesque fishing harbour and a well-established restaurant scene, is approximately 10 km to the northeast.

Paros Airport is a 10-minute drive away and handles seasonal direct connections from several European cities. The fast ferry from Piraeus runs in under three hours. Naxos is 30 minutes by sea, and Mykonos is reachable in under an hour. The full arc of the Cyclades is within comfortable day-trip range.
