John boasts that the terrace at his Cycladic-styled house has the best view of the Paros sunset and he may be right. It's a glorious perch for a quiet hillside accommodation that is just a 10-minute walk to the Paraikia (main town) and 15 minutes from the port. The location, close to the main roads heading north, south and east, is ideal for those who've hired a car to explore the island's villages and beaches. We really appreciated the warmth and generosity of hosts John and Ritsa, who brought us figs and grapes from their garden.
