PAROS

Wake up to luscious breakfast at the hotel and enjoy your first full Greek day at leisure. Discover the unique sights and sounds of these exotic islands. Lie down on the white sand beaches and get relaxed by the sound of the Mediterranean Sea or participate in one of numerous sights, and explore the nearby villages of Marpissa, Prodromos and Lefkes (own expenses). Curiosity of Marpissa and Prodromos is, that they were built as fortified settlements and all houses were interconnected by an internal door, so there would be an escape route in a case of a pirate attack. Close to Marpissa there is modern dairy Parion, where the local Greek family makes yogurt, fresh myzithra and xyinomyzithra cheese, cheese matured in olive oil (ladotyri) and piquant kefalotyri cheese, all produced from local cow’s milk using traditional methods. Lefkes is also worthy to be seen, settled up in the mountains offers fascinating views over the island and its charming alleys, typical old Greek houses and traditional tavernas, cafés and shops make this village very scenic and pleasant place.
