Guests dancing at a summer party on Paros

Paros nightlife: where to go after dark

Paros nights start with sunset drinks on Naoussa's old harbour and run late in the lanes of Parikia and around the square in Antiparos. Our Naoussa team knows the bars, books tables where they take reservations, and makes sure a driver is waiting when you are ready to go home.

Naoussa after dark

Naoussa is the centre of Paros nightlife. The old harbour and the lanes behind it hold most of the island's cocktail bars, from the harbour balcony of Sommaripa Consolato to Come Back, right on the water at Agios Dimitrios. Sante serves its cocktails on a small square under a big tree. Linardo, above the Venetian harbour, is where sunset drinks turn into dancing. Our office is in Naoussa, so we know which tables to ask for.

Parikia: the port town stays up late

Parikia is more relaxed than Naoussa and has its own late crowd. Pirate Bar has been a fixture of the old town for years, with low light, blues, jazz and a themed cocktail list. The Dubliner draws an international crowd to its music areas, and Saloon D'Or plays late just south of the centre near the Frankish castle. Parikia is about 15 minutes by car from Naoussa, so plan the ride home before you set off.

Antiparos: a small island with long nights

Antiparos town is small, and its bars sit within a few minutes' walk of each other. Boogaloo, on the main square since 2008, Doors and Lucky Luke fill up as the evening goes on, and many nights end at La Luna or Dancing Club Mill. The car ferry from Pounta takes about 7 minutes. Check the last crossing, or ask us for a private boat back on request. Staying over? We have 12 villas on the Antiparos waterfront.

Getting home safely

Island roads at night are no place for a hire car after cocktails. A luxury car with driver, such as a G63, Lamborghini Urus or Range Rover, starts from €600 and waits while you are out. For larger groups we arrange a Mercedes Vito with driver, hourly or daily, on request. Guests who want discretion can add close protection from €500 per day. See car with driver.

A private party at your villa

Some of the best nights on Paros happen at home. We bring a DJ from €1,000, a bartender from €500 and a private chef from €500, with flowers and styling from €400. You choose the music and the guest list; we handle the set-up, the suppliers and the timings. It works well for birthdays, hen parties and groups who want their own dance floor. See villa services.

Questions

Paros nightlife: questions guests ask

Is Paros good for nightlife?

Yes, Paros has lively nightlife without the intensity of Mykonos. Most bars are in Naoussa's old harbour and lanes, with a second scene in Parikia and a small, busy one in Antiparos town. Beach clubs such as Santa Maria Beach Bar and Punda Coast host DJ sets by day and into sunset.

Where is the best nightlife in Paros, Naoussa or Parikia?

Naoussa has the busiest and most stylish bar scene, centred on the old harbour, Linardo and the cocktail bars in the lanes. Parikia is more relaxed, with long-running places such as Pirate Bar and The Dubliner. The two towns are about 15 minutes apart by car.

What is the best club in Paros?

Linardo in Naoussa is the best-known place to dance, with DJs above the old harbour. In Parikia, The Dubliner has several music areas and runs late. By day, Punda Coast on the east coast is the island's party beach club, with a large pool and guest DJs.

Is Antiparos good for nightlife?

Yes, for a small island. Bars such as Boogaloo, Doors and Lucky Luke sit around Antiparos town, and nights often end at La Luna or Dancing Club Mill. The car ferry from Pounta takes about 7 minutes, so check the last crossing or book a private boat back on request.

How do I get home after a night out in Paros?

The simplest way is a car with driver, from €600, who waits while you are out. For groups we arrange a Mercedes Vito with driver on request, and from Antiparos a private boat on request. Message us on WhatsApp, 24/7, and we plan the timings around your evening.

Can you reserve a table at Paros bars and clubs?

Yes, we book tables on request at the bars and beach clubs that take reservations. Any minimum spend is set by the venue and paid to them directly. In July and August, give us as much notice as you can, because the best tables at the harbour bars go first.

Can we have a private party at our villa in Paros?

Yes. We arrange a DJ from €1,000, a bartender from €500 and a private chef from €500, with flowers and styling from €400. It suits birthdays, hen parties and groups who want their own music. Tell us the date and numbers and we plan the rest.
