Exploring Parikia, the capital of Paros and considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in the Cyclades. We wandered through its lovely narrow stone alleyways, past numerous churches: the blue domed St. Nikolaos Holy Orthodox Church, the guardian saint of sailors, and the Church of Panagia Ekatontapilian, an historic Byzantine pilgrimage church founded in the 4th century by Constantine the Great’s mother Helene.
