Mañana en Paros
Como el ferry de regreso a Atenas salía al mediodía, aproveché la mañana para internarme por las callecitas del puerto y dado que el día estaba lindo aproveché para tomar sol en la ...
Paros
... 2 weeks or so ... grand I hear some of you cry... that is due to the fact that we have had a quiet time chilling out in Paros since the fall and the visits to the 'hospital' I use this word loosely as its more of a clinic than a hospital (advise from us ...

Island hopping
... . Then we headed to the ferry and departed at midnight. Sleeping on the ferry was not an easy task.About 15 min before we got to Paros we found the couches. Got into Paros around 6.00 am and checked into our hotel and crashed out until 10.30. Woke up and ...
Just all about today I suppose..
I am not exactly sure what this blog is going to be about, but I just feel like writing. So, let's start off with the morning...that seems logical, right? I woke up at 9:05am and rolled around for a few minutes before I actually got out of my bed. It's ...
Olympos to Paros
... very close to turkey it didn't quite have a greek island feel about it so we only stayed one night before coming to put current location of Paros. Our ferry to Paros took us past Mykonos (which looked nice but is very very expensive), and also had a stop ...
Paros, rest and relaxation
My sister and I spent two nights on Paros, in the little town of Naoussa. We went to relax, and relax we did! There's not a lot to do on this little island, except swim, tan, and otherwise engage in leisure activities. I am all for that! Doesn't make for ...
Relaxation!
Hi all! The first thought when we arrived in Paros was "relaxing", especially after our night in Ios. We just spent the day at the beach and wandered around the town. Very nice and quiet island and unfortunately once again we didn't get to explore ...
Paros
Tikanis Everyone! I am sending this email from the lovely island of Paros. To be honest its rather boring here....we're all recovering from Mykonos. Mykonos was fantastic, I've seen things which my innocent eyes couldn't handle, haha, jokes. It was ...
Byzantine road to the modern -- sort of
We took the bus to Lefkes and went to the satellite campus of the Aegean Centre and, after a brief lecture, commenced down the Byzantine road to the little village of Prodromos. Prodomos was even less touristy than Marpissa and, like Marpissa, we ...
Spelunking in Paros
What do the Venus de Milo, Napoleon's Tomb, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Hermes of Praxiteles, the Parthenon, and other sculptures have in common? Parian marble, the finest marble in the world. It is known for its semi-translucent ...
Pirates on Paros!
... off with some maiden (teenage) girls. As the night went on they ran about theatrically until the band took over and the Greece dancing began. People flocked to the stage and pretty soon another dance floor was created below. A lot of foreigners joined in ...
Windsurfing BABY!
Today me and 10 other girls from school journeyed to Golden Beach to try our strength and might at windsurfing. Golden Beach is in the sound of the island. If you look at the handy map, provided kindly by Google, it is where that southern point is. ...
Quick stop by Paros
The first day in Greece, we spent it in Paros, a small island that was just a temporary stop, before our final destination. Had to wait there a few hours. Not the most exciting, excepting that it was the 1st day of holiday! ...
Down-time on a Blustery Greek Island
It's definitely the shoulder-season here on tiny Paros, a rocky, wind-swept island south-east of Athens. Mom and I caught an early ferry on Tuesday morning and were thrilled to the point of giddiness when we got here. Neither of us noticed ...

Paros
Lots of drinking in Naxos made it a little hard to get up and get ready for the 0900 ferry to Paros. We took a Blue Star (slow boat) ferry for 7EUR to Paros. It only took about 30 minutes to arrive in the port town of Parikia. We rented a car in ...
Good-bye Cookout
... way good with that in it! For dinner we ended up eating on the rooftops of the house overlooking the mountains/sunset. To sum up Greece and the single thought that will always come to my mind when I think back on this summer will be 'Beautiful'. No one ...
Tourism vs Farming
Getting out of the tourist port town of Paroikia, we headed to the village of Marpissa. Marpissa as relatively little tourist development as it is not on the coast and on the other side of the island of the port. The authenticity of what ...
Laid back in the Sun
... port at 8.45am on one of the high speed cats for Paros, only 1hr 15min trip. We arrived at Parikia the main city of Paros, its the largest fishing port in the Cyclade Islands & with the exporting of marble as well they don't rely on tourism too much. ...
I now can do pilates in Greek!
... now, and clearly a little far to compete with my teammates at GVSU, I need to be on my own schedule and keep in shape here in Greece. At first I was really stressed out because I found no way to get and erg (a rowing machine) to the island nor is there a ...
Goodbye Mykonos, Hello Paros
... ferry. We were only an hour late leaving ... but hey, we’re on Greek time! After a short ferry ride to Paros, we disembarked and went to our hotel. Paros seems much quieter, smaller and less developed compared to Mykonos. The guys ...
Paros – where Siesta is a serious business!
... was open (not as easy as you might think in the middle of the day!) & put EUR20 in ... ¼ of a tank! Drove around Paros. People driving here are interesting, it’s like they all traded their donkeys in for cars... but drive like ...

On to the next Greek isle
... , perfect views and right in the middle of town. We again took two bus rides to the port to catch our ferry to the island of Paros. Riding the bus is the way to go...as fast as a taxi and much, much more inexpensive. We never paid more than 2 Euro each ...
Interesting?
... had toured the place to realize what it was. It's name was Ekatontapyliani, and is one of the earliest Christian churches built in Greece. Having trouble finding any good info on it at the moment, but it's apparently believed to have been built in 300 A.D ...
Paros
We spent 2 nights in Paros which is one a really pretty island. It is really quaint with all little winding alleyways and white walled buildings (i wonder how often they paint the walls to keep them so white). We met up with a few of Dannyelle's ...
