What would vacations be without the carefree walking and the pleasurable ambles? What would you remember apart from the tasteful mojitos at the beach and the nice guy or gal on the sunbed next to you? We know very well that for someone to feel the lifestyle and rhythm of a place is necessary to walk it. Especially when this place is Paros, which has so many special places for someone to find out separately and fall in love…
It is easy to begin as long as you start with an amble at the harbour. Of course, the first thing that you will face is the impressive mill that stares entirely at the island and is flirting with your camera! Next up the road will get you, definitely not by chance, to one of the most known sights of the island, the church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani which is the ornament of the island that stands proudly and shows its impressive stone walls. This is worth your attention, as well as the Archaeological Museum of Paros which will appear in front of you a few meters further. There is no better way to know the history of a place apart from doing a small tour and getting to know the findings from the past, that as a matter of fact, are many if we think that Paros has more than 4000 years of history! Without realizing it, and after you have walked between the classic white houses with the coloured blue windows and doors that we have adored from the pictures and are the hallmark of the islands of the Aegean sea, you will get to the castle. The known castle of Parikia or else Fragkokastelo is located on the hill of Agios Konstantinos where a part of it and some of its ruins are saved and can provide you with a quick trip back to the past. Concerning the time being, you can have a taste of what it is like by stopping for a coffee or a drink in one of the many shored cafes, for example, in Meltemi that has a great view towards the sea, as well as the Cosa Café bar which serves delicious waffles and refreshing coffees! Wherever you choose to sit one thing is for sure you will feel the unique hospitality by the residents that will take care of you in the best possible way! Like that, the paving and graphic alleys of the island along with the flowers’ fragrance that scent the windowsills will guide you to the heart of the island. You will fall in love with this island and will be your next favourite tourist destination! To meet and love Paros, click here: http://www.18-24.gr/destination/34
