santa maria mikri

Find your beach

Santa Maria Mikri is the northeasternmost tip of Paros, and if you have an ATV or four-wheel drive vehicle you can drive to several beaches of varying levels of swim safety along this rocky and beautiful coastline. A few coves have the signature chaise lounges that signify safe swimming and food service, but it’s also fun to find one that’s entirely empty to explore different vantage points and take some frame-worthy photos.

Have a cocktail and mingle

The beachside bar and chaise lounges at Santa Maria Beach (not Mikri) host a popping party scene in that island heat. The young and fit are out to see and be seen here — wear your hot pants.
