Paros Reviews -General

Paros didn't seem to me like a family destination, although I had gone with children (8 and 10). It was more like a teenager place. In fact, I saw many young people and you could also tell from the bars and clubs in Naoussa, Parikia and Pounda. Particularly in Pounda, things were wild and clubs stayed opened all day and night. If you are travelling with a family, like we did, prefer places like Aliki or Piso Livadi, which are more calm because the rest are very noisy, especially in July and August.

Naoussa was lovely with the small houses and the streets and the small port has the best taverns in Paros. My kids went crazy with the grilled fish and the squids (they were frozen, of course, but delicious!). I suggest you rent a car for a day or two and see the inland. Marpissa is a beautiful village too and far away from the big tourist crowds. If we had a couple more days, we would also go to Antiparos, but unfortunately...

The only thing that ruined our vacations was the ferry ride back to Athens. It was about 4 hours late and the worst thing is that the crew never apologized for all this mess ot gave us an explanation. I figured that these inconviences are frequent with the Greek ferries, but it is a shame when this happens, especially with so many tourists in summer.
