Mykonos – Paros & Antiparos – Ios īut first, I need to clarify. The Windsurfer’s itinerary is the perfect trip for your own endless summer. With crystal clear waters, soft golden sand, great facilities and incomparable Cycladic architecture, Greek cuisine and hospitality, you are bound to have a blast, in and out of the water. Kolymbithra beach in Tinos, Kalafatis, Korfo and Ftelia in Mykonos, Santa Maria and Punta in Paros and Mikri Vigla in Naxos are favourite meeting points for those who love waves. The wind does not stop blowing in quite a few of the beaches in the islands that make up the Windsurfer’s itinerary providing excellent conditions for those wishing to learn, practice or compete in windsurfing and kitesurfing. Further than that, they are the place to be if you are into windsurfing and kitesurfing. Tinos, Mykonos, Paros and Naxos are amongst the most classic holiday destinations in Greece, welcoming visitors for many years before the Greek islands solidified their position amongst the world’s top destinations. Sifnos island: A taste of delicious Greek summer Paros: Planning your trip to the most ‘marblellous’ Greek island So, you will just have to trust me on this one. To be honest, the rest of the itineraries in this blog post also exhibit the qualities of the Cycladic archetype.

Classic sun drenched sugar cube houses and wind swept landscapes, surrounded by serene sandy beaches or wild jagged cliffs and the heartachingly blue sea. This is an itinerary filled with pure Cycladic beauty. I do have to admit though that, today, Paros and Milos have become a hotspot of travellers from around the world, with all the fancy restaurants and luxury hotels that this entails. Or because, growing up in Greece, summer holidays in Paros or Milos were super common, a classic solution to the ‘which island should we visit this year’ problem (tough, I know). I guess it’s because Serifos and Sifnos have more Greek visitors than most of the islands I mention in this blog post. Why have I named this itinerary ‘Authentic’? Not sure.

Grab your friends, partner, family or no one, hop on a ferry and explore some of the best corners of Greece. You can do all of these, completely on your own. In this blog post, you will find the 5 best island hopping itineraries starting from or ending in (or passing through) Paros.

With a bit of help from yours truly, of course!

Given the island’s central location in the Cyclades (the islands in the centre of the Aegean Sea), starting (or ending) an island hopping trip from Paros is a great idea, and one quite easy to implement. Check out the secret celebrity haunts of neighbouring Antiparos or continue your wind surfing tour in Naxos. Visit other famous islands such as Mykonos and Santorini or go off the beaten track in the Small Cyclades. Furthermore, there are so many beautiful islands close by (from a 10min boat journey to 1h and more), all of them unique and definitely worth exploring. With its unparalleled Cycladic architecture and landscape, golden beaches, countless charming venues for wining and dining and easy access from Athens, visiting Paros is a no-brainer. Paros is definitely the new ‘place to be’ in the Greek islands, especially for overseas travellers, and rightly so.
