Paros is one of the more fertile islands of the Cyclades. It is known for its wine, as well as for its fruits, cereals and olive oil.
Mizithra is a soft white cheese made of goat milk. Mizithra is very popular in Paros, as it is used in salads instead of feta cheese, served with bread and tomato as a meze, and used widely in local recipes with pasta or vegetables. Make sure to also taste other soft cheeses, such as the local anthotyro, the touloumisio and the xinomizithra and don’t miss Parian hard cheese, like graviera, kefalotyri and ladotyri.
The traditional sweet Petimezinia and the pumpkin pie are Parian delicacies you should definitely try.
Cycladic wineries are popular all around Greece for their simple, yet rich tasting wines, made of grapes from local vineyards.
