I cannot adequately express how wonderful this apartment is on the hill overlooking Parikia. The apartment itself is charming, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. Maria has provided many thoughtful touches.
The real highlight of our stay on Paros, however, was the spacious patio and the expansive panoramic view of Parikia and the sea beyond. The sense of grandeur and serenity is overwhelming. Breakfast and coffee in the morning, a glass of wine at sunset, or a book or a nap at any time of day were our treasured moments that will be our lasting memories of Paros.
From a practical perspective, it was great to have private parking right at the apartment. Although you could walk from the apartment into the heart of town in 15 or 20 minutes, it was easy to just drive a few minutes down and park in the public lot at the outskirts of the town center. The rest of the island can be explored readily from your base in Parikia. And by the way, both my wife and I clearly favored Parikia over Naoussa.
This was the most scenic, comfortable and convenient stay we have ever had on Airbnb.
