Paros island suits anyone, any age group and offers a good mixture of Greek hospitality, charming inland and costal villages and smallish towns. Excellent and varied accommodation, international atmosphere, good nightlife, great selection of tavernas, bars, retaurants. Interesting ancient monuments monasteries and churches and some spectacular sandy beaches.

Parikia, a pleasant town and busy Port

I like the traditional white and blue painted houses, small and narrow streets in the old part of town, nice town squares, shops, tavernas, bars and restaurants. Most, if not all, of the ferries dock here, which makes the Parikia port busy and creates a lively atmosphere

Three of us eparted 9th October from Malaga via Gatwick to Athens. We were booked for one night at hotel Avra in Rafina town and port , Blue star Ferries docked in Andros Island, Tinos Island, Mykonos Island and then to our final destination Paros Island
