The climate of Paros (Greece)
Paros is a Greek island situated in the Aegean Sea and part of the
Cycladic archipelago. It is one of the largest islands of this
archipelago. The capital of this island is Parikía. Naxos is known for
its hospitality and its beautiful beaches. Each year many tourists
enjoy these beaches; among them are many Greeks from the mainland.
Golden beach is probably the most famous beach on the island. The
Byzantine Katapolianí church is one of the biggest sanctuaries on the
island and is also known as the church with one hundred doors. Just
like most of the Greek islands Paros has a warm Mediterranean climate.
The climate is influenced by the Aegean Sea. Winters are cold and wet.
However, very cold days are uncommon. Summers are warm, sometimes even
hot with little precipitation. During the warmest days of the year the
sea offers a pleasant cooling.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
