The marvellous church of Panagia Ekatontapyliani greets visitors as they arrive in the harbour. White-washed stone benches beneath the jasmine announce and at the same time invite the visitor to participate in summer celebrations, such as the wine and fish festivals, as well as Paros intense night life.
