Piso Livadi

Piso Livadi, Paros

Small fishing village on the east coast

Piso Livadi is a small fishing village on the east coast of Paros, with a sandy beach, a tiny harbour, and tavernas right on the water. It feels calm and low-key compared to Naoussa, but still has just enough evening buzz to keep things interesting.

Piso Livadi at a glance

Piso Livadi is one of the smallest and most picturesque fishing villages in Paros. Think calm harbour, a handful of boats, a small sandy Piso Livadi Beach, and a short line of tavernas almost on the sea.

It’s much more relaxed than Naoussa, with a softer couples and families energy. You still get a couple of small bars, but the focus is simple food, sea views, and an easy walk between your room, the beach, and dinner.

Best for: couples, families, small groups, slow travelers, and digital nomads who want a quiet base close to great beaches without staying in a busy hub. If you want to compare bases, start with Where to Stay in Paros.

Where Piso Livadi sits on the island

Piso Livadi sits on the east to southeast side of Paros, right on the waterfront. Typical drive times are:

  • about 20 minutes from Naoussa
  • about 25 minutes from Parikia (port)
  • about 25 to 28 minutes from the airport

Parking tip: the last stretch narrows as you approach the harbour. In summer it’s smarter to park on the edge and walk the final few minutes down to the seafront.
