The museum was founded in 1960, when a large room was built next to the High School of Parikia, to house the antiquities which were until then kept in the cells of the Katapoliani monastery. A second room was built at the end of the 1960's and further extension work of the museum began only recently, in 1995.
DISCOVER THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF PAROS TERROIR
After this unique travel back in the ancient times of the Cyclades we will head towards the winery of Moraitis family which was founded in 1910 by Manolis Moraitis. He cultivated his own vineyards, while he gathered and vinificated grapes from selected vineyards of the island.
It is considered to be one of the most important museums in Greece because of its exhibits, which were found in excavations on Paros and Antiparos. These findings date from the Neolithic period to early Christianity, and include: the Nike of Paros, Cycladic figurines, mosaics and many more.
There we will enjoy a tour to the winery's cellar and learn about the rare indigenous varieties of Paros island and we will taste its high quality wines that reveal the unique characteristics of Paros terroir!
