We spent a relaxing and wonderful two and a half months at Panos’ airbnb - the months of December, January and February. Our experience was wonderful. Panos is a most delightful host. He met us at the ferry and drove us to a car rental facility, where his connections got us a low rate. His home is perfectly situated 1/2 way up a small mountain, overlooking 180 degrees of the Aegean Sea and the island. The view is mesmerizing, watching each day at the changes in the ocean, the activity below, the ferries arriving and departing, the stars, the clouds.
Panos and his family live above/behind his airbnb on the terraced hills, but we never heard them and had complete privacy. He was always helpful in assisting us in finding a dentist, a doctor, the best places to shop for vegetables and fruit. A dedicated cook, Panos also was generous in sharing with us some Greek specialties that he created, and ensuring that we experienced some delicious traditional Greek foods when we ate out. We were here off-tourist season, so while the vast majority of tourist shops and tourist restaurants were closed, we were able to experience the Paros island villages of Parikia, Noussa, Santa Maria, Lefkes, Kostos, Alyki, etc that the full time islanders enjoy. We enjoyed eating in the restaurants that the locals patronize. Driving was easier as there are so few cars on the road. Temperatures at this off season ranged from the upper 60s to the high 40s, and the rain that came and went turned the island into a lush green haven, with meadow flowers popping up and cactus blooming. We cooked over 90% of our own meals in the large kitchen and it was stocked with everything we needed, and Panos was willing to supplement with anything additional we might have needed. The wifi was excellent, we were able to connect our laptop to the TV easily. We most highly recommend this airbnb.
