This was a terrific place to stay. First the hosts: Petros and his sister Barbara could not have been anymore accommodating and gracious than they with us during our visit. This is really a family operation and they take great pride in their property and service to guests. They run a store and some apartments on the beachfront so they are always nearby and made it clear that we should call upon them if we needed anything. They even helped up get set up on the beach with chairs and things for our kids. The house: The house itself is terrific. It is clean, well appointed, and comfortable with AC, a partial view of the sea, and everything in excellent condition. Everything worked well, the place was immaculate. The beds are top end, towels for bath and beach plentiful, and it even has a dishwasher and washing machine. We loved everything about it. The single negative is a partially finished structure in front of the property, which the hosts are aware of and will probably address. While the structure might be characterized as a eyesore, the overall quality of the experience made up for having to look past it, which we did. The location: When we travel we prefer not to stay in a sterile hotel environment, to live in neighborhoods with the locals. We have been to Paros many times yet never stayed in Drios. It has great beaches, nice tavernas, a supermarket, pharmacy, bike/scooter rentals and more--al in short walking distance. Its a bit windy on that side of the island, which is what draws people to Golden Beach. There are lots of hotels sprouting up to support the windsurfing, so there is plenty of life on that side of the island. Overall, this is a great value for the money, in a village, near great beaches, and lots of paces to eat or buy food. The hosts really make this a pleasant experience by being present and available to help however they can.
