The Island of Paros is frequented by windsurfers from all over the world.
Unique weather conditions, ideal for sailing, together with quiet areas of unspoiled beauty
and modern facilities built to cater to the tourist trade, combine to make the island one of
the most popular in the Cyclades islands.
Paros works a special kind of magic
that draws visitors back time and again, so that, eventually,
they realize that they never really leave her.
So, if it is your first time on the island, be warned
that it will likely not be your last. Chosen by the
P.W.A. (Professional Windsurfers Association) for the
sixth consecutive year as a World Cup site, Paros ideally
suited to all types of windsurfing, from competition
level, to learning the basic skills of the sport. The
P.W.A. (Professional Windsurfers Association) World
Cup, the only professional race in Greece, has been
taking place in New Golden Beach (Nea Chrissi Akti)
since 1993. Each year sees the participation of more
athletes and more fans of the sport. The ideal conditions
of the beach, regarding both the purely sailing standards
and the level of organization and services, have established
it as an official P.W.A. site, one of the top three
in the world. The event is held in early August and
is truly spectacular.
