Our final day on Paros would be just like the last few, nice & relaxed. Another sleep in followed by a casual breakfast. As the sun had risen high in the sky & 2pm had ticked over we headed off inland to the ancient marble mines. It was a quick look as the heat was starting to hit so we took a photo then headed further inland to the town of Lefkes. We wandered through the maze of alleys enjoying a town not really touched by tourism. It was a nice experien...

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.

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...
