Another beautiful relaxing day on Paros. In fact the island has been a perfect choice after Santorini & before Mykonos, as both those islands are a lot faster pace. So we have spent another day just taking it easy. Jac & I read for the morning before heading off early afternoon & heading down the south of the island to a place called palm beach. Sure enough it was a quiet beach with a few palms standing watch around the shore. We went for a swim befor...

It didn't get below 20 degs last night. In fact it seems that there is only ever 3-5 degs difference in minimum & maximum temperature every day. We had a nice sleep in then made a quick dash to the supermarket for some supplies. It was then in to the car & off to find a beach for an early swim as it was going to reach 28 degs today. The sky was blue & the sun was pretty fierce even by this time of the day. We headed north & stopped at the small fi...

After a reasonably warm night we woke to a beautiful day which was going to have a top of 25 degs. We made our way down into Parikia & started with a simple breakfast at a bakery. It was already getting warm as we wandered through the old part of the town looking at the shops. Being a Sunday most were closed & it was pretty quiet, except for the restaurants along the waters edge. We spent a few hours exploring the streets before making our way back home f...

We packed early & ate the last of the food in the house. Our bags were in the car by our checkout time of 10am & we went to return the keys. The owner said we could stay until 1pm if we liked so we took her up on the offer as the ferry didn't leave until 3.30pm. It was a beautiful 23 degs with the sun shining so Jac & I had a swim in the pool. Before we knew it 1pm had rolled around so we were off to the port. We had a pretty forgettable lunch & l...

A pretty relaxed day today owing to the fact it was crappy weather. We did go in to Fira again, this time to see the 2 museums that housed the finds from ancient Akrotiri. Then we had a nice big lunch in Exo Gonia which involved the other 3 drinking quite a bit of Ouzo & wine. From there we made our way to Vlichada beach where Jac & I had a stroll along the black beach with a bit of a paddle in the mediteranian. Then it was back home in the early afterno...
