Piso Aliki is a sheltered shore site with clear shallows and easy access.
Piso Aliki is a sheltered shore site on the south coast of Paros, a short walk from Aliki village and its taverns. The beach combines white pebbles, sand, and clear shallows, and the underwater side is known for an easy beach entry, a shallow reef profile, and relaxed wildlife watching with octopus, damselfish, and ornate wrasse. It suits low-stress sessions when the bay is calm, and it is especially comfortable when winds are light.
