Hire a car and discover the villages

Paros Review:
Nationality: British
Age: 31
Countries visited: 5-10
The Trip: I arrived on the island by plane with the Excel Airways to Santorini and by boat with the Panagia Hozoviotissa from Folegandros. The trip was good but the boat was delayed about half an hour
Reasons for going to Paros: I have been many times to the Cyclades but never really stayed on Paros
Idea before arriving: I knew from my readings that Paros was one of the busiest Cyclades islands so I tended to avoid the island, but after visiting nearly all of the Cyclades islands I wanted to visit Paros. I hear the beaches were decent and that there were some inland villages away from Parikia that were worth seeing
More: I visited out of season, so my impressions will be of it being less busy than had I visited in July or August
Favorite things about the island/area
-Best Beaches: Santa Maria, Aliki
-Best Villages: Prodromos and Lefkes
-Best Activity: Driving around and seeing the villages and landscape.
Negative opinion about the island: I think there are too many new accommodation developments taking place on hillsides and also I think a lot of building waste materials is not being cleaned up which gives some places a less tidy look
Recommendations for future visitors: To see Paros you should hire a car and make the effort to visit villages other than Parikia and Naoussa. It is also a good idea to take day trips to nearby islands such as Mykonos and Ios using the Ferry system. Definitely visit Antiparos
