Paros Reviews -General

We have already visited a lot of Greek islands, but not the Cyclades, Paros is very central cyclad island and had a lot of Greek tourists! We liked that! Naoussa is very busy, nightlife, for young people, but beautiful to visit. Krios beach (were we staid) is nice, close to Parikia, more for families. Beaches on the windy side of the island are very crowded. Lefkes is beautiful to visit, Antiparos and the caves, nice trip for a day. Renting a boat (sailboat) with captain for a day is nice to do, discover small islands, swimming, sailing...
We loved Greek food! The recommendations from the hotel, they were ALL so good, friendly, they speak enough english. There were some drawbacks, though, and several things need to be done... In Parikia, when the ferries arrive, it is always chaotic, of course so many people leaving the boat in one time. More police, please. Need more taxis in the evening; if your hotel is not in the city, you can come to the city, but it takes you so long (more than an hour) to find a taxi to come back. Or busses who runs untill midnight? Although it isn't so well now with a lot of tourists, it is absolutely worth. Stay on the Parikia side if your not a surfer and rent a car and discover the island!
