Restoration of Biodiversity
The intensive grazing of goats and sheep for decades stripped the peninsula of its vegetation. After the creation
of the Park in 2009 and the end of grazing, nature itself, despite poor rainfall, the long summer and its seaside
location, undertook the task of its own restoration.

then into small yellow-white lilies (Romulea) that decorate endless meadows, and then into the precious blue

Planting
here has been annual planting of indigenous plants from Parian nurseries and the SA company of Milos, undertaken
by Parian schools and volunteers.
In 2010, a pilot program was applied which involves surface sowing with soil lumps containing a variety of seeds for
the creation of proper shrubbery for the root system of trees.
In 2012 a program of planting was applied for the creation of small groves of trees in selected areas according to the
specialized map drawn by botanist G. Sfikas. Saplings were bought from nurseries with the aid of the Green Fund.
The overall programming for the zone of nature includes works for the restoration of the biodiversity and the landscape,
repairing damage caused by the long intensive grazing, hunting, and the opening of rough paths. There are also small
irrigation works to channel surface water, pedestrianisation of the old road to Faros (the light house), and the annual
planting by schoolchildren and volunteers.

THE ORGANISED BEACH OF KATHOLIKO

Quality summer indeolence and mild sports
The organized beach in Katholiko is a quality area of summer relaxation, which offers the numerous visitors
services of recreation and soft sports and light food and drink by the sea. The design of venues has occurred
with particular care to the Peninsula landscape of exceptional beauty.
REGENERATION OF DOWNGRADED AREAS & GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
With an overall Program of environmental and aesthetic upgrading which started in 2009 and still going on,
useful and functional outdoor venues of high aesthetics have been created: The outdoor theatre Archilochos, the cinema Cine Enastron, the multi-leveled area of the canteen, the parking area, and more.
The seasonal environmental pressure from massive human presence and its resulting waste, garbage and excessive consumption of water are going to be dealt with exemplarily, by using the most modern methods
friendly to the environment.

FESTIVAL IN THE PARK

A festival has to be closely connected to local characteristics. The Festival in the Park was born in 2009 in
the frugal landscape of the beautiful peninsula of Ai-YannisDetis, in Paros, the center of the Cyclades. The
performances are hosted in the Archilochos Theatre, built on rocks by the sea with a unique view of Naoussa
bay.
The choice of Festival events corresponds to these characteristics, and seeks to offer its friends, who attend
the events with a clear mind and an open heart, high quality recreation and participation in a genuine artistic
experience.
Classical and modern music and theatre and dance by distinguished Greek and European artists are among the
events that the Park Festival presents every summer, mainly in the months of July and August.
Special thanks
Festival at the Park is strongly supported by Friends of Parko Society and a group of volunteers.
Blue Star Ferries undertakes the travelling expenses of the artists and offers its support in many ways. And last
but not least Porto Paros, Kalypso and Swiss Home offer the accommodation. We thank them all very much.

....................................................................................................................................

Cyclades Cycle
Three neighboring Festivals, in Naxos, Paros and Tinos, which have been organizing successful events in recent years, have joined forces in order to enhance the place of the Cyclades in the contemporary cultural map.
The venues of outstanding beauty of the three Festivals, with their special atmosphere, inspire artists and audience, and offer them unforgettable experiences.
The Cycladic Cycle participates in the ambitious program of cultural cooperation organized by the
French Institute "Greece-France Alliance", honoring the numerous communities of French people living in
or visiting our islands, supporting Greece at a critical time.
Cine Enastron
"... In the open air cinema Enastron at Paros Park, it is not mandatory to watch the movie. You can let yourself be absorbed by the much more interesting astral night landscape and the sea breeze . But as much as
you may get absorbed by the true magic of the landscape, some sound, some glimpse at the magic of the
film, will sometime captivate again your eyes on the screen. What we are trying to keep in the shelter of the
screen, is a small antidote to the summer noise of the island."
Sotiris Goritsas, Director.

In 1770, right after the first uprising of the Greeks against the Ottoman yoke, the Russians installed a nautical
base in Naoussa Bay. Although important for Paros, this period remains little studied; hundreds of Russian ships
moored here from 1770 to 1774, and fort systems, administration buildings and living space to house more than

10.000 people were created.In the peninsula and the Ai-Yannis bay visible traces of this occupation are still evident.

In 1770, right after the first uprising of the Greeks against the Ottoman yoke, the Russians installed a nautical
base in Naoussa Bay. Although important for Paros, this period remains little studied; hundreds of Russian ships
moored here from 1770 to 1774, and fort systems, administration buildings and living space to house more than

10.000 people were created.In the peninsula and the Ai-Yannis bay visible traces of this occupation are still evident.

THE AI-YANNIS BAY
A sea area without north winds and with turquoise waters.
The small bay of Ai-Yannis, protected from the winds, is a vital sea area of the Park, with calm waters in
turqoise hues. The peninsula protects the Bay from the strong north winds and makes it one of the best natural moorings in the Cyclades. It is not accidental that nowadays yachts moor here, and centuries ago warships used to moor peopled by those who aspired to dominate the Agean: Venetians, Turks, Russians and a
variety of pirates.
The Park, in order to ensure the bathers safety and to avoid the danger of uncontrolled pollution, has proposed designated zones for yachts, motor boats, and sea sports and co-operated with the Scientific Team
of Patras University for the scanning of the Naousa Bays seabed and the recording of its biodiversity, so that
measures and regulations can be proposed.
SHIPYARDS
The aesthetic and enviromental upgrading of the shipyards is also programmed in accordance with ecological practices.

Every project and activity in the Park is a collaborative effort by donors who financially supported the project, experts who offered
their knowledge and experience, and a large network of friends and volunteers.
We especially thank those sponsors who have financially supported the creation of the Park, not only for their donations but also
because they believed in this difficult task ahead.
Special thanks are due to the Association of Friends of the Park, especially members of the administration, which from the first year
of its creation supported all the varied aspects of the operation.

, .
,
. :
The Park was born from the vision of a group of persons who are today its bodyguards. It soon attracted many ardent friends in
support of activities. Most importantly, citizens and friends of friends joined the network and volunteered knowledge, experience,
and time as volunteers.
Consequently, Paros Park is rich not only in infrastructure and activities theater, trails, the festival, the museum - but also in people and relationships.
There is always a core of people who bear the greatest load on acomplex project such as the creation and operation of the Paros
Park.
