General: Perfect for me

I was recommended by a Greek friend to go to Paros and I found a wonderful island to stay at my holidays. The villages, beaches,historical monuments and also the nightlife is great there. Definitely go to Pirate Club, it was my favorite. All the people on Paros are very, very friendly, especially the restaurant owners. Of course, the owners have to be friendly to tourists because they make mone...

Villages: Aliki lovely small village

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

We spent our week in Aliki.. lovely small village with great central beaches and small outdoor pubs. We loved exploring the nooks and crannies of the village. Although small, Aliki has a wonderful selection of great seafood restaurants which sit on (literally) the fishing boats so one can watch the fisherman prepare the fresh octopus and squid. Bar staff were friendly and kind and the prices we...

Villages: Naoussa was spectacular

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

Taxis were not freely avail and to get back to our hotel was always a hassle. So I recommend that you bring your driving licence as we wanted to rent quad bikes but didn't have our licences with us. There was one italian restauran...

Fri, 16 May 2008 10:21:16 GMT

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, Antipa...
