Cosmopolitan Paros. One of the islands in the group known as the Cyclades. Most of the houses are a traditional blue and white. It has sandy beaches, peaceful villages a good breeze for wind surfing, a lively nightlife, white marble and good wine. Half of my family is down there at the moment visiting other members of the very extended family.
10 minutes away is the smaller island of AntiParos where Tom Hanks and his wife have a villa.
I have never been to Paros but I have been to the next door island of Naxos, also in the Cyclades. Naxos is known for its tasty cheeses, potatoes and half of the lambs and goats the greeks roast at easter seem to come from there.

I want to go there! But not just yet :)
ReplyDeleteThere was one case on Paros but I think the successfully isolated it.
DeleteAnyway, don't visit in midsummer!! I bet even now there are too many people, not to mention the heat!
Fabulous sunset LA.
ReplyDeleteThat was taken on their first night. Incredible
DeleteLooks like a beautiful place to visit. We stayed on Naxos back in 1980, a couple of years ago 🤣🤣🤔 is a beautiful place, wasn't touristy then.
ReplyDeleteWe were there in 1980 too!! First and last time. I was pregnant with my first.
DeleteWe probably visited at the best time, before it became too popular!
Paros reminds me of Mykonos or Santorini. Wonderful memories of Greek Island holidays :)
ReplyDeleteYes, same sort of island. Blue and white and full of trendy tourists.
DeleteLucky you. You've probably been to more than me
It looks a lovely place for a relaxing holiday.
ReplyDeleteGood for a summer holiday of you like a bit of buzz. I haven't talked to the girls yet, just seen loads of photos. I wonder how busy it is this srason

ReplyDeleteHeavenly! You would have had my husband at "cheese"! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteIt's known in Greece for its cheeses, most of them from sheep and goatsilk tell him
DeleteBeautiful. You are managing to make me feel dissatisfied with where I live; and that would never do.
ReplyDeleteToo many tourists for you, though most of them are probably greek this year.
DeleteMmmmmm cheese. F will like Paros
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves their cheeses. You have to go there and sample, tell her
DeleteI reckon it would be perfect in Summer.
ReplyDeleteHot and busy but perfect for many. Beach during the day, wandering and eating when it cools down a little. Lots of people watching
DeleteSounds like a great place to go for a holiday - if you could avoid the tourists (but then, I suppose I would be one!)
ReplyDeleteCome in the off season and you will one of few!
DeleteLiving the life
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could visit Greece again
One day hopefully. But for now I’ll just keep looking at your blog
Hope you get here one day.my family are all waiting patiently too
DeleteMy very first Greek island was Sifnos...close to Paros. It was magical.....with rural landscapes as well as the white and blue village. Lovely for walking.
