Paros punches above its weight when it comes to nightlife. Most backpackers head straight for Naoussa or Parikia, the island’s two main hubs. In Naoussa, cocktail bars line the old harbour, where wooden caiques bob in the water and the sunset turns the whole scene pink. By 11 PM, the crowds spill into clubs like Linardo, where Greek pop and international hits keep the dance floor moving until sunrise. Parikia is grittier: narrow alleys packed with ouzeries and late-night souvlaki stands lead to waterfront bars where a beer costs €5 and the music never stops. Hostels here are cheap and central: expect dorms for €20-€25 a night, five minutes’ walk from the action.

How Paros's nightlife zones break down
A postcard-perfect fishing village with whitewashed houses and a Venetian harbour. By day, it’s all about boutique shops and seafood tavernas. By night, the harbourfront transforms into a strip of cocktail bars and clubs. The action centres on the old caiques: wooden boats moored in the bay: and spills into the narrow streets behind.
The island’s capital and main port, where ferries dock and backpackers arrive. The old town is a maze of alleys lined with ouzeries, souvlaki stands, and hostels. The nightlife is grittier here: think cheap drinks, late-night kebabs, and basement clubs. The waterfront is touristy, but the backstreets are where locals drink.
A long sandy beach on the island’s east coast, 15 minutes by bus from Parikia. It’s a windsurfing hotspot by day and a chilled-out bar scene by night. Most bars here are beachfront, with bonfires and acoustic music. The crowd is a mix of backpackers and watersports enthusiasts.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
The biggest club in Naoussa, right on the waterfront. Plays a mix of Greek pop, EDM, and throwback hits. Entry is €10 and includes one drink. Gets packed after 1 AM, especially on Saturdays when international DJs perform. Dress to impress: bouncers turn away flip-flops and tank tops.
A rooftop bar in Parikia with views over the port. Cocktails cost €8-€10, but happy hour runs from 6 PM to 8 PM with 2-for-1 drinks. The crowd is a mix of backpackers and older travellers. Live music on Thursdays: usually Greek folk or acoustic covers.
A tiny ouzerie in Parikia’s back alleys, popular with locals and hostel staff. Ouzo costs €3 a shot, and meze plates are €5-€7. No music, just shouting and dominoes. Closes at midnight, but it’s the best place to start the night if you want to meet Greeks.
A cliffside bar near Golden Beach, 10 minutes by scooter from Parikia. Sunset views are unbeatable, and the cocktails are strong: expect to pay €9-€12. Gets busy around 7 PM, but the crowd thins by 10 PM when everyone heads to Naoussa or Parikia for clubbing.
A basement club in Parikia with graffiti-covered walls and cheap vodka mixers (€6). Plays hip-hop, reggaeton, and Greek trap. Open from midnight to 6 AM, but the party only starts after 2 AM. No dress code: come as you are.
A wine bar in Naoussa with a rustic vibe, serving local Paros wines for €5-€7 a glass. The crowd is older, but backpackers stop by for the free tapas with every drink. Live jazz on Fridays: arrive by 9 PM for a seat.
A cheesy but fun retro club in Parikia, playing 90s Eurodance and ABBA. Entry is €5, including a shot of ouzo. Open from 11 PM to 4 AM, but the dance floor fills up after midnight. The crowd is mostly backpackers and groups of Greek students.
