A true find. A lovely, spacious house a short walk from the beach. We've just returned from a 10 day stay with our family and are wishing we could head back. Georgia's husband Takis met us upon arrival and gave us a warm welcome and a wealth of information about restaurants, bars, shopping, which were all superb. He'd even stocked the fridge with some essentials, which was much appreciated. Both he and Georgia were always easy to reach for any questions, or problems, which enabled us to just relax and enjoy our holiday.

We stayed in the third house from the water on the left. Watching the ferries coming and going from the front balcony with a glass of chilled wine became a favourite pastime. You can also see the water, albeit a bit further away from the terrace at the back as well, where we ate breakfast. My older teens loved the pool, which was pretty much empty most of our stay. The house is fully air-conditioned - a major plus, allowing for a restful sleep on hot summer nights. (There is an abandoned construction site to the left of the house on a hill, which might bother some, but we considered it a minor blip compared to all the positives.)

Paros has a very laid-back vibe and although we were there in high-season it never seemed overly full, (except for the pretty port town of Naoussa, which was chock-a-bloc). As well as having lovely beaches it has sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing schools. Those with active families will appreciate it. Paros is also a wonderful base to explore nearby islands. We headed over to Antiparos for the day, rented a boat and spent a fabulous time on the water. We'd love to come back if Georgia and Takis will have us. Many thanks we had a fantastic time.
