Welcome to my guide to Paros

the sun-baked island situated at the hub of the Cycladic Islands, just a few hours by ferry from Piraeus, the main port of Athens, .

This is an outsider’s inside view; having fallen in love with the islands on my first trip in the late 1970s, I finally ended up moving here four years ago.

Many of us dream of moving to an idyllic Greek Island, transfixed by the beautiful beaches and sunbaked landscape, but what is it really like to actually do it?

Does the reality live up to the dream?

Yes.
