Overview
Paros is a gem of the Cyclades archipelago that has rapidly earned its reputation as the 'next Santorini' -- offering the same whitewashed villages, crystalline Aegean waters, and golden sunsets, but with a more authentic Greek island atmosphere and significantly fewer crowds.
For points travelers, the Cosme, a Luxury Collection Resort (Marriott Bonvoy) brought a high-end bookable-on-points option to the island. While the points hotel selection is more limited, the value proposition is compelling -- cash rates soar during peak summer months while points costs remain more stable.
Beyond the beaches, Paros enchants with its charming villages of Naoussa and Parikia, excellent windsurfing conditions, traditional tavernas serving fresh-caught seafood, and a burgeoning foodie scene.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Paros range from $523 to $2325 per night. Points redemptions offer 4.45+ cents per point value.
