Happy Easter!
This is a top pick! ... So why not a few lines and I'll leave it to someone else to explore the rest of the island. The old town of Parikia is pretty well all white except for the blue trimmings on most woodworking. Pretty cute with a nautical feel. However it was ...
Island Hopping
This is a top pick! ... the village of Oia, renowned for its sunsets. Any sunset postcard from Santorini or just about any sunset postcard you'll find in Greece, was taken in Oia. As a result it has become so upmarket, upmarket doesn't give it justice. For example, the Stoners ...
Always pack a light jacket idiot!
... , she really made my stay here much much better than it would have been on my own. I got on the bus back to Parikia and wasn't too happy to hear there was no ferry going to Mykonos. I double checked with 5 more agents in other offices. Nothin. Nada. ...
Stranded Again!
... Even though the wind was going 90 miles an hour I was still sweaty, it' was a tough walk in some parts! I'm back in Parikia now, I think I'm going to search for a little book in the touristy shops about Greek Mythology. I've got loads of time to kill ...

retour à Paros
Réponse au Jeu QPT n°23 : Bravo Kelly (qui va crouler sous les récompenses et les cadeaux dès la rentrée!!!) La réponse étant « Roberto mio palmo » à ne pas confondre avec la célèbre réplique de Robert de Niro dans ...
Byzantijnse route even terug in de tijd
Donderdag, vrijdag en zaterdag 10-12 juni Parikia heeft wel iets van Naxos maar is minder imposant en minder compact omdat hier langs de hele kust wordt gebouwd en relatief weinig gestapeld. We inventariseren het plaatsje, waar is de bakker, de ...
Relaxing on a Greek island
After our early start we were too early and had to wait another hour before our boat left. 3 hours later and we arrived on the island of Paros. It is everything a Greek island should be. Blue, blue seas, whitewashed buildings, fishing boats ...
A quiet evening in Paros
... out to dinner and I had spinach balls and Greek salad. I was chastised by Themis our tour leader for asking for tomato sauce to go on my spinach balls. They had to search the kitchen to find me a bottle. Clearly, tomato sauce is not popular in ...
Fire Jumping - Jack jumped over the...bonefire!!
The class and I went to Alyki on the southern tip of Paros for the annual fire jumping ceremony on the eve of St. John the Baptist day. They were serving up free octopus and ouzo on the beach, so I tried both; the octopus was quite good but the ...
Another day in Paradise

Knock, knock, knock... knock, knock, knock. What could it be? Half asleep I realised that it was someone knocking on my door. looking at the time, I jumped out of bed as it was really late; luckily Kemmerie woke me up as I had an ...
Thanks
Hi all - just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have posted comments. It's great when the emails come through. I've walked the streets of the old town trying for a free wi fi connection and then suddenly, bam, my emails start ...
Laid back beautiful island
May all of you travel to Paros at some time in your life....a beautiful island with white painted cobblestone streets. Rented a car and drove to the marble cave where they mined the marble for Napoleon's tomb. Ate a long and leisurely lunch in a small ...
Parikia, Paros
... , lit up by flood lights. The ground is over grown with weeds and grasses. Despite being just off the main drag in Parikia the area has a very calm, secluded feeling to it. Somehow I even managed to hear cricket noises above the passing traffic. This ...
Paros - Go Slow
... square buildings with bits painted in blue surrounded by mostly brown ground. The old section of the port town of Parikia is wonderful to walk through. It is a labyrinth of little streets of these white houses narrowly separated by cobbled ...
I came to a conclusion.
... course took a bit of a break and as I was looking outside at the view from the roof, I came to a conclusion. As much as I love Greece and getting to see the beach and sun everyday, I need to be in an urban setting. If I know one thing about myself, it's ...
Let the boat rock.
Wow. This is not what I was expecting at all. Let's back up for a second... When I was leaving my apartment and walking to dinner with some of my friends from school, the wind was absolutely crazy. The sky was dark and the air was cold. This got me ...
Who would have thought I would miss...
DRUNK PEOPLE. Not just any ordinary drunk people, because there are people here that get drunk...very drunk...and often and I could not be any more annoyed. Mostly because I am sober and I don't tolerate idiots very well. However, I miss drunk college ...
Paros, Grecia

Traveling Around Paros Island
Hi Everyone, Sorry I'm so far behind in posting on here. The days have been very busy since we've arrived on the island. My days are either filled with class or traveling to other islands. The two classes keep me really busy and I usually have 3 sessions ...
A weird time of day
... getting up, working out, and going to class, but I don't want to nap because I don't recover well from them. In Greece, I may have mentioned before, they have a siesta so everything from 2-6 closes down and the island seems really deserted. Well, for one ...
