Greetings from Paros, My Little Greek Getaway

Thursday 24 November 2016

I don't think anyone can get enough of the Cyclades Islands, aka the Greek Islands.
The surrounding oceans, the delicious food and one of my favourite countries to shop, this is a must on your travel list.

As we were travelling from Italy on our way to Santorini, we had booked a 3 night stop over in the not so known Island of Paros. I was quite skeptical at first as I was tossing between Ios and Paros and after looking at recommendations for a more romantic quite island, we went ahead with Paros.

WHERE TO STAY

I can truthfully say that this resort, Archipelagos Resort was the most a beautiful secluded escape with stunning views of the Aegean Ocean.

Now may I repeat, the views are stunning!


A magical resort to relax and unwind




My only negative experience was the fitness centre. It was no where near as described and was more of a dungeon with three pieces of equipment. The room was no bigger 500sq foot. I did express my concerns as this was one of the main reasons I had booked so it was a major disappointment. I do hope they renovate this as everything else is just perfect.


WHERE TO EAT

This may sound a little strange but the food at this place was AMAZING and we did not eat anywhere else! The chef is superb and the food was so fresh. I'm a big fan of Mediterranean food and the restaurant here was one of the best places we ate at all trip.





THINGS TO DO

The resort is only a 5 minute drive from the main town, this boutique hotel has a free bus services at 10am, 6pm and 10pm, enough time to explore the inner town and marina. I actually spent the whole day shopping and wondering the inner streets... typical female course





The resort also arranges a wide variety of activities including sea sports, excursions, site seeing and mountain biking.

There are also sunset cruises which we heard was wonderful but we were saving this for Santorini however the resort balcony was just as beautiful.

There's nothing like savouring the warm sun and gentle island breeze.

Thank you for the wonderful memories Paros!
