Paros Awards 2025
Paros has been named the “Best Island in the World” in Travel + Leisure’s prestigious 2025 “World’s Best Awards”.
The Cycladic island of Paros has been named the “Best Island in the World” in Travel + Leisure’s prestigious 2025 “World’s Best Awards,” topping a list of 25 global destinations with an impressive reader score of 96.50.
Long considered the quieter alternative to Mykonos and Santorini, Paros is now enjoying its moment in the spotlight. This year’s accolade marks a remarkable leap from its No. 24 ranking in 2024, a clear sign of the island’s rising popularity and the growing international appreciation for its understated elegance.
“There are surprises around every corner,” the article enthused, highlighting Paros’ unique blend of natural beauty, vibrant culinary culture, and postcard-perfect villages. Readers highlighted the island’s “delicious food” – especially its mushrooms, chickpeas, and seafood – as well as its “excellent shopping” and scenic harbor town of Naoussa, described as “picture-perfect.”
Each year, Travel + Leisure invites readers to share their travel experiences as part of the “World’s Best Awards” survey.
