Paros Weather & Time to Visit

The weather in Paros is similar to the one on the other islands of the Cyclades. Paros presents the typical Mediterranean climate, with hot and sunny summers followed by mild winters. The island is surrounded by the Aegean Sea, so, like every island, it gets very humid at night. The Meltemia (strong north winds) blow on Paros, especially from late July to the middle of August. Since the island of Paros is located in the center of the Cyclades, though, Meltemia are particularly strong, and the Professional Windsurfers Association (PWA) has chosen to organize the annual Windsurfing World Championship in New Golden Beach, Paros. Naxos island is only a few miles away from Paros island, so the weather conditions are approximately the same.
