Lefkes sits in the green hills at the centre of Paros and was the island's capital in the days when pirates made the coast dangerous. It is a quiet, handsome village of marble-paved lanes, old churches and views down a cypress-and-olive valley to the sea; the marble Byzantine footpath toward Prodromos starts here. Reach it by KTEL bus, taxi or rental car.
Getting there from the port
