Marina and her husband met my sister and I at the port when our ferry arrived late in the evening. She was friendly and cheerful, and showed us our apartment. There was a bottle of homemade wine, fresh olives, and olive oil on the table for us, as well as fresh flowers. The room was clean, and everything was as she had said it would be. In the morning, she invited us over for Greek coffee and fresh lemon cake. She explained the area to us, gave us a map, and ideas for our time in Paros. Marina was quick to get us anything we needed, and even to take us to the port to travel to Antiparos (which is a great day trip), or to the grocery store.
There were two beaches within five minutes walking from our apartment. Both were beautiful, with clear blue water, free chairs and umbrellas, and very few people. The nearest town was Pounda, which was about a 15 minute walk. Pounda had wonderful restaurants, gift shops, and bike rentals.
Marina brought us homemade cake every morning, and provided us with zucchini and lemons from her garden. Our stay with Marina was lovely, relaxing, and fun. I would highly recommend staying with Marina, and it would be a perfect location for couples, families, and anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.
