Coastal Retreat Four

On the northeastern coast of Paros, Santa Maria entices visitors with its captivating mix of natural beauty, vibrant beach life, and welcoming local charm. Renowned for its soft sandy shores and clear turquoise waters, Santa Maria Beach is a paradise for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. Its long stretch of coastline offers a relaxing escape for families, couples, and solo travelers alike, while water sports enthusiasts can jump into activities like scuba diving, windsurfing, and paddleboarding—all framed by stunning Aegean views.

For those craving a quieter retreat, Mikri Santa Maria provides a more secluded experience. With its shallow, calm waters, it’s an ideal spot for a peaceful swim or simply soaking in the tranquility away from the main beach. Santa Maria Beach Bar adds to the area’s appeal, offering refreshing cocktails, Mediterranean-inspired dishes, and light bites, all enjoyed with the backdrop of ocean views and relaxing music that perfectly sets the tone for a lazy afternoon.

Just a short drive away, Siparos Restaurant provides an elevated dining experience with innovative Greek dishes, fresh seafood, and local wines, all served with panoramic views of the sea—a perfect setting for an unforgettable evening meal. A bit further in Naoussa, To Steki Tou Thanasi brings traditional Greek flavors to life in a cozy atmosphere, serving local favorites like grilled octopus, fresh salads, and homemade sweets. Santa Maria beautifully showcases the spirit of Paros, merging stunning beaches, exciting outdoor activities, and exceptional dining into an experience that’s both relaxing and inspiring.
