😴 ACCOMMODATION (where we stayed)
Villa Isabella, Naoussa: booking.tp.st/pyFQGHTm // This was a gorgeous apartment complex. A great option as long as you aren't looking for somewhere with a swimming pool.
Hotel Zannet, Parikia: booking.tp.st/CWlc6l6X // A really good price, friendly owner and our balcony had a fab view of the sea. The downside was the bathroom, it was small and dated

This video is really useful, thanks. We are staying in Paros (Piso Livadi) for 10 nights in June. Preceeded by a 4 night stay in Santorini. I can't wait.
That sounds wonderful! I hope you have a lovely time 🙂 Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video😊
Thank you 😀
Great video thank you! Was there last year and this makes me want to go back!!
Glad enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊
Been to Paros a few times and again this October. Nice little video.
Thank you, have a great time on your next trip. Not long for you to wait! 🙂
Thanks so much for an awesome video. We will be staying in Piso Livadi for two weeks this May/June. You have given us some great ideas!
You are most welcome, thanks for watching and leaving us a comment! Hope you have a great stay on Paros 😀
WOW, what a beautiful place! Thanks for the tour! I would love to visit Greece one day. Very Cool! Thank you for sharing this spectacular video. Liked and SUBBED!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching! I hope you make it to Greece one day 🙂
You as well! You are VERY welcome. I am pleased to be a part of your journey. 😁@@OurTravelPlace
Great video....
Thank you! 😀
Amazing informative travel vlog! You know it’s a good vlog when the viewer (me!) wants to experience the same itinerary! Well done guys! 🙏🏼❤
Thanks very much! 🙂
Paros island is beautiful ❤
It is!
Very helpful video, thank you. I will visit Paros in June this year, and I also dont want hire a car.
I'm glad you found it helpful! What area of Paros are you staying? Have fun!
@@OurTravelPlace I am staying 7 nights in Parikia, thank you
Your Paros Island travel vlog is the perfect antidote to my wanderlust. 🌅🌄🌊 I appreciate how you balance the beauty of each place with its history, culture, and people. Like and support from me! 🙏
Thank you very much! 😀
Really informative and just the thing to reinforce our decision to take ourselves off to Naoussa for two weeks at the end of May this year. Excellent video, bravo!
Two weeks in Naoussa sounds lovely! We could have happily stayed on Paros for two weeks. Thanks for watching, hope you have a great trip!
We will be staying in Piso Livadi for two weeks at the end of May also. Perhaps we will bump into you…..
@@johnkilburn5392 Yes, we certainly plan on exploring that part of the island - Lefkes, Marpissa, Agios Antonios monastery, the Byzantine Trail, Logaras beach. Our research points us to Ouzeri Halaris in Piso Levadi as a good place for a "long" lunch when in the area. Starvation is never a danger for us on holiday......
@@ciarandoherty4579 Ouzeri Halaris is about 40 feet from the house we have rented. Let us know when you will be there and we will come say hello!
@John Kilburn Hi John, it's a plan. Thinking of a bus to Lefkes from Naoussa in the morning and hike the Byzantine Trail, then continuing on to Piso Livadi on foot for a well deserved lunch. Return buses back appear to go on the hour but late May might not have the full summer schedule. Will post our proposed date to do the walk when we make it to the island!
WOW❤❤❤NICE BEACHES IN GREECE❤❤❤😍😍😍
Thanks were going in june, Mykonos for 2 days then Naxos for 5 and rounding off with 7 on Paros, thanks for all your info, notably taken it all in...😁
Oo that sounds like a great trip! We've not made it to Naxos yet but would love to go one day. Have a wonderful time 😄
What would be the best way to get to Mykonos from Paros? Thx
I'd go for the ferry 🙂
Great vlog, thanks for sharing. What do you do with your valuables when swimming?
Thank you! Usually we would go swimming one at a time. If we both went at the same time (usually when it was quiet) I would just keep half an eye on stuff while in the water. We don't take passports, excess cash, cards we don't need (e.g. we have a card specifically for travel and don't use our regular cards) and kept everything in our bags rather than leaving anything out. If we did have something particularly valuable with us that day we would just stick with one swimming at a time. Typically it is very safe but we don't take the risk on anything we really wouldnt want to lose.
Thank you for the Paros video. You have good video skills, I enjoyed it! It is nice seeing the old place again. However I did not like seeing the sunbeds monopolising the beaches. I think there was a large Greek demonstration last summer against those beds because the locals are against the idea of having to pay 60 euros a day to go to the beach. Greeks are very much against this and, as far as I know, the sunbeds were removed. I once stayed in Naoussa in the building right in front of the one you stayed in and, another time, I stayed in one of those houses on the cliff accross Piperi beach. I had the good fortune to work on a dig on a hill a short distance away from Kolymbithres beach. That was in 1981, at a time when there were still fishemen and farmers living in Naoussa! That was at the tail end of the hippie era. Back then, tourists had a lot of time, but not much money. Today, travelers have plenty of money, but not much time.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'd love to see what Paros was like back in the early 80s 🙂 Can't blame the protestors there, we were surprised at some of the high priced sun beds (we avoided the 60 euro ones!) and there should be free beach too for just chucking down a towel.
@@OurTravelPlace Here is some info tidbit for you: next to Paros is a smaller island called Antiparos, at the southern tip of which a number of Hollywood stars have summer residences, including Tom Hanks. And south of Antiparos is an island called Despotiko, which is an active archaeological site and maybe, one day, an open-air museum. They say it is a smaller version of Delos, a religious sanctuary that was destroyed in the 4 or 5th century BC.
@@kamikazes03 Thank you for sharing! We did actually spend a few days on Antiparos back in 2014 (long before this TH-cam channel!) and loved it, it was so relaxed :) I haven't heard of Despokito though, I'll definitely look it up! Thank you
Great video and it has made up my mind to take my wife there for our anniversary. Your accomadations looked beautiful. Can you share the name?
Wonderful, what a great thing to do for your anniversary! 😊 In Naoussa we stayed at Villa Isabella. As long as you aren't looking for somewhere with a swimming pool then I would definitely recommend it, it was lovely!
Hi there, love your video! Looking at going next year. Is it easy to get the ferry from the airports?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! What airport are you flying into?
Great vlog! How much did you spend overall and what airport did you land on ?
Thank you! We arrived at Paros airport (indirect via Athens) and flew back from Santorini. I didn't write it down but for the Paros part of our trip on average we spent around 100 euros a day for the 2 of us excluding flights and accommodation. Some days cost a lot more/less than others. Accommodation we paid 650 euros for 8 nights. Of course you can spend much more or less to suit your budget. Hope this helps! 🙂
Great video. I like the narration and really interested in doing the hike from Leftkes to Piso Livadi. We were going to drive. Now we plan to bus and hike it. How do we find that same route. Exactly where is the old trail.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! While a car does give you more flexibility we found public transport was good and we didnt't regret not hiring a car 🙂
I'll cover the route in a bit more detail in the next video, but the byzantine road starts at the edge of the village. The road shows up on google maps so you can find the start. I've dropped a pin of where it starts here:

@@OurTravelPlace Thank you! Was part of it walking through the town. I googled it and it seems there is a fair bit of walking through Podromos and Marpissa. I do want to do a quick stop in the towns but wasn't sure how much of the "trail" takes you through the towns.
The villages are only small so I don't think they add much in terms of distance to the walk if you don't want to wander around them 🙂
(If I understood your question correctly!)
@@OurTravelPlace Actually would be nice to do a brief walkabout!
Fabulous video. Can you list your accommodation spots?
Thank you! Sure, in Naoussa we stayed at Villa Isabella and in Parikia we stayed at Hotel Zanet. Thanks for watching 🙂
This looks amazing. Im planning my first international trip next year to greece. Going solo and ill be staying on paros for 9 days. My biggest concern is transportation, but it seems they're pretty good with that?
Generally yes transport is good on Paros, although where you stay and when you go plays a part. The only time we got a taxi was from the airport - everything else we showed was bus, boat or feet! I do have another Paros video which goes into transport etc in more detail 🙂 Hope you have a great trip!
Great job! Did you like Paros better then Santorini?
Thank you! We only spent 2 nights on Santorini so i know it's not a fair comparison, but from the time we did spend on both I did prefer Paros. Loved our time on Santorini too though! Thanks for watching
Τη Νάουσα της παρο τη Νάουσα Ημαθίας ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤
Hi there. Just watched it this video and loved the suggestions for seven day itinerary. I was just wondering what was the name of the two places you stayed in? Hotel or a Airbnb or Villa?
In Naoussa we stayed in a small apartment complex called Villa Isabella. It was gorgeous! A great option as long as you aren't looking for somewhere with a swimming pool. Parikia was a small hotel called Hotel Zanet. It was a really good price, friendly owner and our balcony had a fab view of the sea. The downside of here though was the bathroom, it was really tiny and very dated!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
any rooms or AirBNB you can recommend? Where did you stay when you were in Naoussa? can yu share a link>?? thank you
In Naoussa we stayed at Villa Isabella, which I would definitely recommend as long as you aren't looking for somewhere with a swimming pool. This is it: www.booking.com/hotel/gr/villa-isabella-suites-and-studios.en-gb.html
TH-cam sometimes blocks comments with links so hopefully you will have seen this reply!
I would love to get the information how to get the boat to swim we never been there to Paros but planning to go there around mid September to the week of October, thanks you
Do you mean this part - 04:07 ?
You can catch the boat from the harbour in Naossa. No need to pre-book. There is a stall by the boat selling tickets so just buy a return. There's a timetable at the stand so you can see the times of the boat service. I think they started at around 10am but it could vary depending on time of year. Is there anything else you would like to know? 🙂
which month were you there? i m planning to go mid may but not sure will still be cold
We went mid September. I think on average May is meant to be fairly warm (mid 20s) and people do swim in May but obviously it's more of a gamble temperature wise than a little later in the year. Warmer than the UK anyway! 😄
thanks! an amazing video will defo follow some of your itinery
Thanks for watching, have a great time!
Did you find you needed true hiking shoes or would Ked's sneakers be ok on the Byzantine Road?
We weren't wearing hiking boots and we found it was fine. Plenty of people were doing the walk in trainers 👍
@@OurTravelPlace Thank you! Love your accent! From London, England?
Thank you! You're right about England but not London - I'm a northerner 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace My husband was born in Ipswich but came to Canada when he was 2 years old. I'm of Italian descent born in Canada.
Ah wow, where in Canada are you from?
Lovely video however I’m sure people would appreciate some price guides- as in don’t just say it’s pretty pricey because what’s pricey for you might not be pricey for me and I would like to know the prices of things before going.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. You're right... I thought I included some prices in there but certainly not for everything so will try to include more price info next time. Is there anything in particular I didn't mention the price of that you would like to know? (hopefully it will be something I can remember or find the answer to!)
would you mind list out the hotels on this trip?
Of course! In Naoussa we stayed at Villa Isabella and in Parikia we stayed at Hotel Zannet. Hope you have a nice trip!
@@OurTravelPlace thanks so much dear 😊.
What would You suggest for 3 days in paros?
Ooo tough one, i suppose it depends on how much time you want to spend at the beach! I think for us we would stay in Naoussa, spend a day at kolymbithres then exploring naoussa, a day doing the lefkes to piso livadi hike (although if you want a shorter hike i would just do the byzantine trail from lefkes to prodromos in the morning then spend the afternoon at a beach... or maybe even wine tasting if i could get a late afternoon slot?) and then a final day at the beach (probably golden beach but you could do a closer one). If it was 3 full days/4 nights and i was arriving or leaving by ferry then i would try and squeeze in a bit of exploring parikia town too depending on ferry times. I believe there are luggage storage places although not used them ourselves. Alternatively if you arent as fussed by beaches you could spend the final day in Parikia. All personal preference though 🙂
