Nature Reserve Area & Lounge Cafe. Open from mid June to mid September.
The nature reserve can be found just 7 kilometers from Parikia, a unique natural site on Paros, with dense vegetation.
Cypress trees, ivy covered plane and fruits fill this place. This environment is a perfect habitat for the Jersey Tiger Moths butterflies called ‘’PANAXIA QUADRIPUNCTARIA’’.. Every year in the summer months, swarms of butterflies come and settle in this small oasis situated on southwest part of the island.
Sitting on the leaves or trunks, hundreds of them rest during the day and fly during the night. We could say that nature is calling them in this place to find the peace and the energy that is required to migrate back to where they came from.
Visitors are advised to keep as quiet as possible so as not to startle the beautiful inhabitants of the forest and force them to consume the energy that they require to complete their mission.
After your walk, you can enjoy a coffee under the shadow and surrounded by a light breeze on those hot summer days. A playground is also an option for our little friends.
You are welcome to visit, have a walk & witness this rare phenomenon.
Βιότοπος – Πάρκο & Καφετέρια
Κάθε χρόνο τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες παρατηρείται ένα σπάνιο φαινόμενο στο νοτιοδυτικό μέρος του νησιού. Σμήνη από πεταλούδες μεταναστεύουν σε ένα καταπράσινο μέρος που συντηρείται από τις φυσικές πήγες του βουνού. Βλάστηση, τρεχούμενο νερό και πεταλούδες καθιστούν αυτό το μέρος έναν προορισμό ορόσημο για το νησί. Περιπλανηθείτε στα δρομάκια και παρατηρήστε τις να κοιμούνται στα φυλλώματα των δέντρων.
Ξεκουράζονται την ημέρα και πετούν το βράδυ, καθώς πρόκειται για ένα είδος νυχτοπεταλούδας που άκουει στο όνομα ‘’PANAXIA QUADRIPUNCTARIA’’.
Στον ίδιο χώρο θα βρείτε και ένα εντυπωσιακό lounge café που βρίσκεται κάτω από την σκιά των δέντρων. Μέσα στη δροσιά που προσφέρει το μέρος, θα νιώσετε λίγο πιο κοντά στη φύση .
Για τους γονείς πρέπει να αναφέρουμε πως υπάρχει παιδική χαρά στο χώρο μας.

Worth to see it
One of the most beautiful and different places in Paros. The lounge Cafe there, serves fresh water with the best taste. The atmosphere is clear and you feel the fresh air near to the nature. We show flocks of different butterflies in the ‘park’. I definitely recommend you to see it.
Home of a unique and beautiful butterfly, don’t miss this!
Don’t listen to the downers – this isn’t some magical Disney garden with a million butterflies, it’s even cooler – it’s the home of a unique and absolutely STUNNING butterfly species that’s only found on Paros. First you see them sitting and blending into the leaves and trees, and then when they fly they have an amazing red-orange coloring in their wings. It’s a quiet and peaceful place, and the family that runs it is very kind and helpful.
Loveliest place, such a gorgeous place to visit, only €3 to enter! with so many butterflies and gorgeous places to sit and enjoy the views (it’s at the top of a mountain), full of different trees and loads of information boards to learn about the butterflies and other bits and bobs there. Gorgeous cafe with a great selection of drinks. However the main thing to comment on were the amazing staff, all of them were so welcoming, taking the time to show us other bits of nature around the place, and very ready to have a chat and be super friendly. One of the nicest places on paros, if you have a spare day, definitely go here !!! xxxxxc
Nice lounge cafe in the the nature!
A place you have to visit when in Paros island. Drink your iced coffee in the nature surrounded by butterflies. It’s a nice serene place in the nature that a specific species of butterflies love to take a break from their travels. If you love nature it’s a good spot.
