To marry on Paros, choose a design hotel, a private villa or a seaside estate on the Cyclades’ stylish, calmer alternative to Santorini and Mykonos. Most couples hold a symbolic ceremony and marry May–June or September. Parilio hires from €15,000; Calme Boutique Hotel from €6,000.
Paros is where the people who love the Cyclades but not the crowds now go. It has the whitewashed-and-blue beauty of its famous neighbours, the same astonishing light, but a calmer, more grown-up feel — a beautiful old port at Naoussa, design hotels that rival anywhere in Greece, and beaches without the scrum. For a stylish Cycladic wedding without the Santorini circus, it is hard to beat.
Choose between a design hotel, a private villa, or a seaside estate.
Where to actually marry on Paros
Three venues across the island’s range — a design hotel, a boutique hotel and a country estate.
Calme Boutique Hotel
Calme Boutique Hotel is an adults-only hotel above Golden Beach in Drios, on Paros. Fourteen rooms each have a private pool, and a stone chapel in the gardens hosts private symbolic weddings and vow renewals.
- 14 rooms
Parilio hires from €15,000 for up to 100 guests and Calme Boutique Hotel from €6,000; Fladakia Estate takes up to 200, from €3,080 for 40 guests. As across Greece, most couples hold a symbolic ceremony and marry legally at home.
When to marry, and getting there
May, June and September are ideal — warm and clear, the island lively but calm. Paros has its own airport plus fast ferries from Athens; like the rest of the Cyclades it can catch the summer meltemi wind, so favour a venue with a sheltered option.
