Traveller notes on Paros in October
Other months in Paros
Paros's forum calls August meltemi season, the northerly wind blowing most days at varying strength — a mixed blessing that keeps the island cooler than the mainland but can rough up some beaches. Regulars flag August as the single busiest month in the Cyclades, recommending advance booking, and note the island has enough sheltered coves that finding calm water is usually possible even on a windy day.
