Paros
has a couple of excellent beaches, though the heavily promoted and
horribly exposed beaches on the east coast - such as Golden Beach
- are not the ones.
Kolumbythres is very, very small but very, very lovely. Soft sand
strewn with bizarre Gaudi-ish rocks, totally protected, shallow and
crystal clear water, this should be a prime target for people with
toddlers, though there's not much in the way of services available,
if any. Own transport will be needed.
The island generally is a surprise. As a transport hub for the Cyclades
Island group you might expect it to be a big port and nothing more,
but it has some good beaches - including one right beside the small
port, a stupendous church that is the oldest in use in Greece, and
a charming little old quarter [picture]
with no shortage of romantic bars and restaurants.
