Island Hopping - Exploring the Greek Islands: Paros, Naxos & Santorini
Description
Paros is one of Greece’s most popular islands. Just a few hours away by ferry from Athens’ port of Piraeus and very close to Mykonos Island, it is easy to get to and perfect even for a quick escape. Its beautiful beaches and vibrant, cosmopolitan nightlife have turned it into a magnet for holiday-makers. Naxos Greece is in the centre of the Cyclades islands, in the heart of the Aegean Sea. It is the biggest and the greenest island of the Cyclades, boasting a magnificent natural landscape! The island’s rich history is reflected in the many archaeological sites.
