Our family of 4 adults stayed in Paros for 4 nights in August.
Location: 2nd floor apartment above a local bakery with an in-town beach (Livadia beach) a 2 minute walk down the street. Restaurants line the waterfront streets that lead to the old Port town and its mazes of pathways of shops. The location is quiet but close enough that everything is walkable. There is a supermarket nearby. Although a tight fit, a private covered car park was a huge bonus not available at many places.
Apartment: Large living space with a full kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one very small), balconies off each bedroom and 2 off the living room. Enjoyed the main balcony with coffees in the morning peaking to the waterfront view. Sunsets can be viewed from the balconies with the sun setting into the sea. Good strong air-conditioning throughout. Laundry is in the bathroom.
Host: Great host with great communication before and during our stay. The host accommodated us in our early arrival and we appreciated the short ride to the port upon checking out. The food, drink and treats were a very pleasant surprise (fruits, wine, ouzo, water, cookies from their bakery Ragoussis). The owner of the apartment runs a family owned bakery in Naousa and Parikia with all the Greek pastries and breads since 1912. The orange cake is a delicious!
The Ragoussis apartment was well situated for convenience to all areas of the island by car or a short walk to town without the noise and hustle and bustle of a party atmosphere so that you can enjoy a comfortable rest. We would recommend this place highly.
