Parikia

The island's capital and port, where the ferries come in beside an old windmill. Behind the harbour is Panagia Ekatontapiliani, one of the oldest churches in Greece still in use, and the Archaeological Museum. Inland, the lanes of the old town wind up to the Venetian Kastro, whose walls were built from the marble of ancient temples. In the evening the bars along the seafront face one of the best sunsets in the Cyclades.
