Paros is the Cycladic island that nomads actually base on long-term — Mykonos prices things out, Santorini is built for honeymoons, Paros has a year-round expat scene around Parikia (the port town) and Naoussa (the smaller, prettier fishing harbor on the north coast). Punda Beach and Golden Beach on the east coast are the kite- and windsurf anchors. Internet has improved meaningfully — most modern rentals run on Cosmote or Vodafone fiber. Schengen 90/180 rules apply; Greece's Digital Nomad Visa is the longer-term route, EUR 3,500/mo income proof, 1-year renewable to 2.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
