The Island of Paros is frequented by windsurfers from all over the world.Unique weather conditions, ideal for sailing, together with quiet areas of unspoiled beauty and modern facilities built to cater to the tourist trade, combine to make the island one of the most popular in the Cyclades islands. Paros works a special kind of magic that draws visitors back time and again, so that, eventually, they realise that they never really leave her. So, if it is your first time on the island, be warned that it will likely not be your last. Chosen by the PWA (Professional Windsurfers Association) for the sixth consecutive year as a World Cup site, Paros ideally suited to all types of windsurfing, from competition level, to learning the basic skills of the sport.
