Paros and the other Cycladic islands don’t have the infrastructure for athletic activities. The existing ones are just for the youth of the island.  For sea sports the situation is different. The winds and the organized beaches give unlimited choices to interested tourists. Water skiing, diving, wind surfing, Kite surfing, sea games and also cycling are some of the activities we can suggest.
Over the last few years a lot of diving and surfing schools have opened, the best known are the ones in Pounta (opposite Antiparos), in Santa Maria and in New Golden Beach.

During the summer season there is a nice variety or interested excursions and day cruises that operates in the island.

Firstly a nice way to discover the beauty of the island is the Tour of The Island.  With a comfortable air conditioned bus, with the valuable knowledge of the escort you will be able to learn and see things and tips that are not written inside books.
There is also another excursion that is a tour combination of Paros and Antiparos islands. While this full day tour you will be able to see some of the most important spots of Paros island as well as the well known cave of Antiparos and her Venetian Castle.

The most popular summer day cruises are the “Bach & Barbeque”, the Delos & Mykonos cruise, The Santorini day Cruise and the day visit of the Small Cyclades island like the Koufosnissi & Iraklia.  Paros is the ideal summer destination that could be used as a base to explore and visit the neighborhood islands as well.

The “Beach & Barbeque” is a day cruise that starts from the Punda port (opposite Antiparos) and visitmost of the beaches of Antiparos.  Swim, light lunch with beverage and refreshments, snorkeling and the unique and wonderful spots that they go, it makes it one of the most popular cruise to people.
  
There is a day cruise for Delos & Mykonos, that operates three times per week which depart from the port of Naoussa and give you the opportunity to visit Delos (with 3 hours stay) while having enough time to go around in this well known open air archaeological  museum. Next stop is Mykonos (with an 3.5 hours stay) where you can go around, walk through her paved streets, to enjoy a meal with local delicacies and to get known her shops.
