Paroikia, Paros

N37°05.54 E025°09.02
(April 2010)

Anchored in the north bay (the furthest east one). Good holding and shelter in strong/gale force northerlies.

There's a garage on the road out of town (the road runs parallel with the harbour front). 100m past the garage, on the right, is a medium sized Carrefore. From the harbour: cut up the side street to get to the garage/Carrefore road (with your back to the harbour head left and take first right turn). This cut through street has a fish shop, a bakers and a good fruit and veg shop.

We liked Paroikia old town. The narrow, whitewashed streets are typically Greek - it's like Mikonos but smaller. The 6th century church at the beginning of the old town is a very attractive bit of architecture.
