Driving Tour of Paros

We spent the day exploring Paros in a cute Nissan Micra. I had a list of 10 beaches and 4 villages that looked interesting. We started at Kolymbithres Beach, which had to be one of my favorites. It was a challenging drive, but Randy handled it like a pro. The rock formations were beautiful, and there were areas of sand between them. The water was really warm. After the beach, we headed to Naousas. I think Naousas was my favorite village to date. It had a charming waterfront with fishermen drying their catch on the bow of their boats. There was also a beautiful old church right on the water. There were icons behind glass in the church, and people were kissing the glass. There were so many interesting little restaurants but it was too early for lunch. We then headed to Santa Maria, a beach on the northeast east corner of the island. Very pretty white sand beach. We spent time in Lefkes and Marisspa, two pretty mountain villages. We then made it to Goldon Beach on the southeast coast. Many of the beaches were difficult to reach, and we didn't want to damage the rental car, so we didn't get to all. Randy found some crazy places to turn around when we decided we couldn't make it. We ended the day at Aliki, a charming village with a beautiful beach. We dropped the car off by 7 and had another great dinner at George's restaurant on the beach. It's much quieter tonight without the christening celebration. It was a wonderful day on this beautiful island of Peros.Weiterlesen
