🇬🇷 PAROS, GREECE — A little quieter, a little slower, and full of charm! 💙
Paros was the quietest island we visited on our Greek adventure. Since we were traveling in late October, many businesses were closing for the season, but we still had a wonderful time exploring!
🚗 This was the only island where we rented a car, and I’m so glad we did! We loved driving around, discovering beautiful beaches and charming villages.
We stayed at the Adonis Hotel in Naoussa, just steps from the beach. We enjoyed great restaurants, wandered through the shops, and my daughter and I treated ourselves to a 70-minute massage at Exymno Anatripsis — honestly, one of the BEST massages I’ve ever had! 💆♀️
🏖️ Kolymbithres Beach was unlike anything I’ve ever seen! The enormous, smooth granite rock formations made us feel like we were walking on the moon. So beautiful and unique!
🐈 We also explored Lefkes, a picturesque mountain village filled with narrow, whitewashed streets and SO many friendly cats! 🐱 We visited the beautiful 19th-century Church of Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) and wandered through its historic cemetery, fascinated by the elaborate marble monuments and raised tombs.
⛪ The following day, we visited the famous Church of 100 Doors in Parikia, with origins dating back nearly 1,700 years. Walking through those ancient walls was incredibly moving. I stopped to say a little prayer and truly felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. ❤️ It’s amazing to think about the generations of people who have worshipped there.
Paros may have been quieter than the other islands, but it was filled with beautiful scenery, fascinating history and special memories.
⛴️ And just like that, we were off to our fifth and final Greek island — MYKONOS! 🇬🇷
