The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.

can include 4 to 15 km of walking and be 2 to 6h long.
Our tours are meant to be Eco-Tours, so your local, well-versed escort will give you (in fluent English, or passable French and Italian) the information you need to appreciate the natural environment, the landscape, the history and the current situation of the place and the people.
We also offer our signature Drive &Walk tours, private island discovery or theme tours, which can include tasting of local wines & produce, traditional taverna lunches or our special “Taste of Paros” wine picnic, for those seeking a fuller Cycladic island experience.
Finally, on certain Thursdays & Sundays , we organize mixed-group walking tours, which go ahead with a minimum of 4 participants, please see our upcoming tours program.
‘You never know a place unless you have walked it’ – or cycled it, we might add. Join Paros Hikes to discover the beauty of our islands!
