From the moment Penelope greeted us we felt like family. We had traveled 5 hours by ferry and were exhausted. We walked the short distance from the port to the apt. it was about 11:00pm. She saw us on the road, shouted out my name, gave me a big hug and showed us the apt. We stayed 3 nights in Parikia, a lovely village. Penelope arrranged a boat excursion, showed us where to rent an atv and helped us with all our needs. The apt was clean, beautifully decorated and located in a quite part of Parikia. Penelope and her son Yiannis operated a small taverna under the apt where we had wine and yummy snacks on serveral occations. I was sad to leave and hope to return to Paros again someday to visit this beautiful island and the friendly, kind and gracious Greeks that live there.
