We had a great stay at Heliothos Bay, the team was very welcoming and the location is just perfect. We had an amazing studio with a stunning view on Parikia’s bay. The decoration of our studio was great and it was very comfortable, on top of being cleaned everyday. Our host Giorgos was able to arrange a car rental at an amazing price and was very helpful during our whole stay. All the other guests were also very nice and some of them were returning guests, they fell in love with the place!
We recommend a car to visit Paros but they are plenty of things to do without a car:
The beach was easily accessible by foot (it’s a bit abrupt on the way back but we did it with 2 young kids) and you have great options to get a transat by the beach. We went to Tango Mar where you get a free transat with a 5€ spend and loved the place: good food and very friendly staff. Livadia beach is safe, fun and clean.
Parikia is a lovely Town and it’s about 10-15m walk from Heliothos. We recommend getting lost in its narrow streets behind the port, very Cycladic style and has good shopping and food. In the restaurants, stick to Greek food and avoid other stuff, except at Cava d’Oro where we had amazing pastas carbonara!
