Kolympithres

Kolympithres is a striking anchorage on the northern coast of Paros, famous for its bizarre granite rock formations sculpted by centuries of erosion into smooth, rounded shapes that tumble right into the crystal-clear water. You drop anchor here and find yourself surrounded by a wild, otherworldly landscape that's genuinely unlike anything else in the Cyclades. The beach and small coastal settlement sit tucked within the bay of Plastira, with beautifully clear turquoise water that makes the swim ashore well worth it.
