Golden Beach Hotel

Top choice in Paros


Right on Hrysi Akti (Golden Beach), this top spot offers simple, appealing rooms and apartments in pastel colours. More important is what’s outside the rooms: a splendid grassy lawn down to the shore, plus restaurant, beach bar and oodles of beach activities. Lots of fun to be had on Paros' east coast. Two-night minimum in August.
