Goodbye Paros
As Ringo sang on the song ‘Goodnight’ from the White album…..”now it’s time to say goodnight.”
So that’s it for Parikia, the freakishly ambient town of Paros. Sad to say “goodbye” to our host Irene. I’ll never forget when we arrived here late last Sat night, we met Irene and asked the question “what time is breakfast? The answer was “anytime”. NICE. Irene also supplied us with some home made cake and a bottle of her home made wine. Born and bred in Paros. The little things make all of the difference. We have enjoyed flowing along with our little location and its water based outlook and swimming options. Pretty well been in the water twice a day. Magnificent. Have become a little obsessive with the arrival and departure of the ferries, but there you go. Correction from yesterday’s post…….half a million people visit this island during peak tourist season April to October (not 50000). Paros is a great little town. General observations………..evidence of a number of people of my vintage, as well as a plethora of younger dudes and couples riding motorbikes and quad bikes, unlimited sun bathing/ swimming, many waterside dinning options, cats, a variety of shops and general ambient funkiness. A few memory pics below, including the famous Irene and her daughter. Irene has owned this hotel since 1986 and is the cook of amazing breakfasts. A Paros treasure.

Wow. What an adventure Gary. Looks like you’re both enjoying yourselves. Looks very relaxing.
Great little find and good to see you connecting with a true local. Irene reminds me of Maria (mother of Theo) who lived down the road when we were young. Keep traveling, Sky.
