Maria’s apartment is lovely and was an oasis for me in the middle of my trip to the Cyclades! Her place was tucked away on a side street in old town, perfectly accessible but felt private and safe for a solo traveler. Walkable to port, bus station, and all the restaurants, cafés and shops you could ever need! Maria herself met me at the apartment for check-in to give me the key and some quick information about the place. I was actually checking out of a different hotel in Parikia before checking into Maria’s apartment, and she was so kind and accommodating to have the place ready for me earlier than expected! She also sent me some restaurant and bar recommendations, which I appreciated! Her place also had a little washing machine, which was wonderful after sweating through all my clothes in the August heat. I cannot say enough great things about Maria and her apartment! I will stay again if I ever get the chance to come back to Parikia!
