We have for a long time been visitors to Paros and a friend that lived previously on Naxos persuaded us to visit. We found the scenary on the island exceptional, good beaches to the South West below the Main town, with the villages in the interior very greek. We visited all three kouros and the temple ruins at Dimitra, emery mines and seaside port of Moutsouna, mountain villages at Apiranthos and Koronda, seaside resorts of Abram and Apollonas. The main town of Naxos was interesting especially the old town citadel with the Venetian House and Museums. Maybe it would be a good idea to pave the centre and not allow cars and motorbikes to enter. The food in Naxos was good and fairly priced. In the traditional tavenas at the seaside resorts and villages, people are still inviting you into their kitchens to see the food. We had no complaints regarding the services of taverns or hotel, with one excpetion about the service of the car rental agency: the company increased our agreed hire rate by 25% when we returned to pay at the end of our stay, which distressed us. We will never use this International Company again.
