Lefkes

Lefkes

Landlocked and hilly, Lefkes is a relatively untouched settlement in the middle of Paros' arid interior. Few people come to Lefkes, choosing instead to head to touristy Nassoua, but it's worth a stop if only to get a glimpse at what life on the Greek islands is like away from the tourists. The pace of life in Lefkes is decidedly slow. Older citizens sit outside their typical white-washed houses gossiping and catching up with neighbours. You can see washing hanging up on the lines to dry and people here carry on as normal, with only a very brief nod to tourism. There are a handful of shops, some bars and simple restaurants so you can easily spend a pleasant afternoon walking around the streets and looking in shop windows. If you do come to Lefkes don't miss the beautiful Byzantine road leading south out of the city (ask a local for directions). The cobbled, wanky path leads you to some beautiful views over Paros to Nauossa. For a bit of extra local colour dates and locals’ names have been inscribed on stones underfoot.
