Paroikia, the impressive capital of Paros, is an historic port town. It features a lovely waterside façade, with restaurants, cafes and bars, while its alleys and streets are picture-perfect: the visitor can see beautiful old churches and authentic Venetian and Neoclassical architecture in dialogue with Cycladic whitewashed houses, that frame the emblematic Town Castle and the landmark of Ekatontapyliani Church, that dates back to the 4th Century.

Paros offers a satisfying diversity of beaches: some are ideal for isolation and serene hours of sunbathing, while the organised beaches offer un upbeat outgoing vibe, hosting vivid beach bars and popular water sports schools. Santa Maria's bays, in an invitingly close distance from The S.A.N.D. Collection offer both: the main beach shines in cosmopolitan enthusiasm, and the nearby smaller bays are peaceful and bohemian.
