Sustainable development for Paros & Antiparos Islands
Boosted by its attractiveness to tourists, Paros has, over the previous decades, witnessed an accelerated, disorderly, development, which has led, of course, to a significant increase in the income of society, but at the expense of the overexploitation of its resources, the degradation of its environment and the weakening of its identity.
The health centre is in need to acquire three wheelchairs. They are much needed in summer when it gets really hectic.
Historically, Paros was known for its fine white marble and, today, abandoned marble quarries can be found in abundance on the island.
We admire them, list them, number them, compare them, photograph them, assess them, and, of late, we fight to prevent them from disappearing
The Paros Photography Group started its journey from a small group of amateur photographers, which over time developed and today has more than 25 active members.
We cannot count the days since we came to the island of Paros forty-five years ago in 1977 after three months of island-hopping, searching for an island where we could settle down and make a home. On a blustery November day we disembarked, weary and dishevelled, from the old Paros Express ferry with our two […]

Την Τρίτη 12/7/2022 στις 8:00 μμ, στο προαύλιο του πρώην Δημοτικού σχολείου στο Μαράθι, θα έχετε την ευκαιρία να ενημερωθείτε για τις δράσεις που έχουν δρομολογηθεί και να ανταλλάξετε απόψεις για τη στρατηγική για να εξελιχθεί ο αρχαιολογικός χώρος σε ένα αρχαιολογικό-πολιτιστικό πάρκο.
The efforts to protect and promote the Ancient Marble Quarries continues. On Tuesday 12/7/2022 at 20:00, in the courtyard of the former Primary School in Marathi, you will have the opportunity to hear about the actions that have been launched and to exchange views on the strategy to create an archaeological and cultural park and achieve the recognition of the unique monument of the ancient quarries as a World Heritage site.
Let’s travel to the countryside of Paros, to walk on old forgotten paths, to discover the old stone bridges, to relive with our imagination the not-so-distant times when these roads were full of life
Fluxus was the first group of artists in history to put public participation at the heart of their activity. It was also the first art group to be truly international and diverse. Fluxus changed contemporary art by putting participation ahead of self-expression.
As we approach the summer period, which is rich in events and activities, it seems useful to look back at the last two years to recall the content and meaning of our activity as a citizen association.
The Friends of Paros sent a letter to the Minister of Climate Change, Mr. Christos Stylianidis, regarding the environmental impact of (public and private) investments in Paros.
The efforts to save and promote the ancient marble quarries in Marathi recently took a decisive turn with the establishment of a non-profit company: “Park of Ancient Marble Quarries of Paros”.

Τη φέρουσα ικανότητα του νησιού προκρίνει ως βασικό παράγοντα για τις αποφάσεις αναφορικά με την επέκταση της οικιστικής κάλυψης το ΣτΕ, σε μια ιδιαίτερα σημαντική απόφαση, με την οποία ακυρώνει τις επεκτάσεις οικισμών που προέβλεπε το γενικό πολεοδομικό σχέδιο της Πάρου. Παρά την υπερβολική, για το μέγεθος του νησιού, οικιστική και τουριστική ανάπτυξή του, το […]
