Starting point
Afternoon donkey ride along the mountain foothills of Parikia
Experience the authentic soul of Paros on an enchanting afternoon ride along the scenic mountain foothills. We begin our journey after the peak heat of the summer sun has faded, ensuring a comfortable and refreshing experience for both our riders and our beloved animals.
The Route
Starting from the area of Kakapetra (just 1.5 km from Paros' main town, Parikia), we meander through the rustic landscapes of Parasporos and head toward the hills of Aspries. Continuing our ride to Almyros, you will immerse yourself in the majesty of nature during the most idyllic hour of the Mediterranean summer.

A Living History
Donkeys are an integral part of the tradition, history, and daily life of the island. For centuries, these patient animals were the lifeblood of Paros, driving the agricultural economy and connecting people. By joining this trek, you help us preserve this precious heritage and support the professional care and welfare of our animals throughout the year.
