One of the islands that you are going to visit is Paros - the island with something for everyone. Culture, history, good restaurants and beautiful beaches attract most island hoppers including those recovering from the excesses of Mykonos. Paros has three cruising beaches, a gay restaurant and a bar. The most memorable characteristic of Paros is simply its atmosphere. Many non-greeks have made their homes on Paros during the last thirty years purely because it is a difficult island to leave.
