The Parian traditional villages, particularly Naoussa, Parikia and Lefkes, are perfect samples of Cycladic architecture, with whitewashed sugar houses, paved streets, and blue-domed churches. The beaches are famous for the exotic water and the golden sand. The beaches on the southeastern side, such as Golden Beach and New Golden Beach, are particularly popular for windsurfing.
