NEW BLOGS

You will be spoilt for choice when visiting the Greek islands. Though you have several island groups to choose from, the Cyclades will probably speak to your imagination most, which is how you found this blogpost. In this blogpost I will compare Mykonos, Santorini, Milos and Paros and list the advantages and disadvantages of each island, so you know which choice to make when you go to Greece. It is impossible to make a bad choice though, as all the islands are absolutely amazing!

You can easily do a self-guided daytrip to Naxos, if you are staying in Paros. We were originally going to visit Naxos on an overnight stay, but we felt like it would be better not to move around with suitcases due to my herniated disk. Of course, I still wanted to see Naxos, so we booked a day-trip with the ferry. We only got to visit for five hours, but I was still really happy with this little day tour. Of course I would have loved to stay longer in Naxos and do some hiking or visit the beach, but I will save that for next time.

I was fortunate enough to visit Paros during the shoulder season; I visited at the beginning of May, just before the big tourist season was about to kick off. It felt like such a luxury to explore this majestic island without the crowds, something which thus is still possible on Paros! Visiting during the off season comes with some downsides as well, I will explain everything you need to know in this blogpost. And if you are looking for activities for Paros, I have got you covered as well!
