It is in a quiet location, a short walk from the centre of pretty Naousa and opposite the Sandy Agii Anargyri Beach where the hotel provides free sunbeds. There are tavernas for your evening meal a few minutes walk away or you could walk over the hill to Naoussa with its picturesque harbour.

Day 2 - 3 - Relax or explore Paros

The decision will be as to whether to relax at the hotel’s pool or on the beach and then stroll into Naoussa to people watch and eat or to do some sightseeing. You can get to other beaches via small boats which run from Naoussa Harbour. Hire a car for the day and visit the many pretty little villages. A 10 minute ferry ride from the west coast of Paros will bring you to Antiparos with its attractive and elegant port.

Day 5, 6 & 7 - Explore Naxos

Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades and very popular with our clients. Naxos town, with a population of around 7,000, has an extensive waterfront with a wide variety of restaurants, shops, cafes and tavernas. Behind the waterfront you will find a labyrinth of narrow streets, whitewashed Cycladic houses, medieval Venetian mansions and a 13th century hilltop castle. The archaeological museum is well worth visiting. You can travel around Naxos by local bus or hire a car for the day as, apart from Naxos town, there is much to see and do. There are beaches galore, one better than the other and further south they get emptier and emptier. Within the interior of the island agriculture still dominates and the terrain is mountainous, with Mount Zas, the highest peak in the Cyclades, reaching 999 metres. There are plenty of walks to be had and tiny villages abound in the interior. Try the beaches of Alyko and Ano Koufonisi and if you are more interested in culture and history then the ruins of Apollo’s temple, the temple of Demeter, the temple of Dionysus and numerous monasteries.
