Piso Livadi: Coastal Village on the East Coast of Paros

Piso Livadi is a coastal settlement on the east coast of Paros, 10 metres above sea level. Located two kilometres southeast of Marpissa, it serves as the village’s harbour. The coast and harbour provide a clear framework for your search for a holiday rental: consider whether you would like to focus your holiday plans on the fishing harbour, the neighbouring beach or other things to do on Paros.

Harbour, ferry connections and island excursions

In summer, ferry connections to nearby islands operate from Piso Livadi’s fishing harbour. Destinations include Naxos, Ios, Santorini, Amorgos, Mykonos, Delos, Antiparos and Koufonisia. Routes and schedules may change; check the current connections if your plans depend on a particular crossing.

Small boats also depart from the harbour for excursions to nearby islands. This gives you two different options to consider: seasonal ferry connections to named islands, and excursions by small boat around the nearby islands. If ferry connections are a particular priority when choosing where to stay, their seasonal nature is an important planning consideration.

Logaras: a beach next to the village

The large sandy beach of Logaras lies next to Piso Livadi. Turquoise waters and shade beneath tall sea pines define this stretch of coast. The harbour and beach thus offer two distinct points of reference when choosing where to stay: the fishing harbour is associated with seasonal connections and boat excursions, while Logaras offers its own beach setting of sand, water and shade from the sea pines. When looking for a holiday rental, you can weigh up which of these aspects you would like to shape your stay more.

More cultural and nature-focused attractions on Paros

Those planning to explore beyond Piso Livadi and discover more of Paros will find a range of cultural and nature-focused attractions. In Parikia, Panagia Ekatontapiliani lies in the northeast of the town, near the harbour. The church is one of Greece’s most important early Christian monuments. In its southern section is the ancient baptistery, dating from the 4th century, which is regarded as the oldest and best-preserved baptistery in the Orthodox East.

Ekatontapiliani also houses the Byzantine Museum of Parikia. Its collection includes rare icons, wood carvings and other religious relics from the Byzantine era and the period of Ottoman rule. The ruins of the Kastro of Parikia preserve another trace of history: the Venetian castle was built using columns from ancient temples and other architectural elements. In Lefkes stands Agia Triada, a listed church building constructed from Parian marble in 1835. The three-aisled basilica has a raised central nave and two bell towers.

The museums also cover a variety of subjects. The Sculpture Museum of sculptor and engraver N. Peratinos in Marpissa displays 192 of his works. The B. Skiadas Museum of Cycladic Folklore presents the history and traditions of Paros and the Aegean. In Naoussa, the Folklore Museum displays the collection of Doctor Othon Kaparis; it also has a library, an extensive photographic archive and several archaeological finds. These places complement Piso Livadi’s coastal attractions with art, island history and collections.

Walking trails, events and nature

The Paros Environmental and Cultural Park brings together nature and cultural offerings. It includes organised and unspoiled beaches as well as a seven-kilometre network of walking trails. There is a 700-seat amphitheatre for concerts and performances. Since 2009, the park has also hosted the “Festival at the Park”, a summer programme of cultural, sporting and environmental events.

Another cultural event is the Alyki Cultural Festival. Held every June, it lasts three days and features events in Alyki on Paros. For nature lovers, the Valley of the Butterflies offers a different focus: it is a rare habitat for Jersey tiger moths, which can be seen there in large numbers on tree trunks. In the Aliki Wetland, the island’s most important wetland, walking tours, nature walks and cycling tours are organised for international visitors.

This distinction helps you choose the coastal village as a specific place to search while also keeping the island’s wider variety in mind.
