Paros Paradise Apartments

It's a bit of a hike from the ferry port and the heart of town, but worth it when you see the view from your room. The whole of the bay stretches out before you. Plus it's just a ten minute walk downhill to the beach and a very nice restaurant (Tango Mar). There was a bit of a hic-up upon arrival at the ferry dock. We were supposed to be met by the Paradise mini-bus. It was there, but somehow in the confusion and bustle that accompanies any Greek island ferry disembarkation we missed our lift. We got a taxi (just €4) instead. It's too far to drag a suitcase to Paros Paradise in the midday heat of a Greek summer. We were a bit early and had to wait about 30 minutes for the room to be made up but it gave us the chance to chat to the owner and get the low-down on Paros and Parikia town. He phoned our pre-booked quad bike hirer and arranged for them to come and collect us next morning. The ground floor room (No.3) was comfortable, clean and bright. With a sunny balcony and views across the bay. The small kitchenette was equipped with a two ring hob, fridge, electric kettle, sink and enough utensils and crockery to get by. Everything worked and we had no problems. The location is quiet but easily accessible to the rest of the island. You can walk down to the beach and along the bay to the centre of town, ferry offices, supermarkets and other facilities. It takes about half an hour. However, it's a bit of a trek back with bags of shopping and we were very glad to have the quad bike for the rest of the week. As well as making shopping easier it allowed us to explore the island from tip to toe and catch the ferry across to Antiparos most days. Our lift back to the ferry at the end of the week was more successful and we waved a sad farewell to our host.

We stayed at Paros Paradise Apartments for 6 nights, and loved our stay there! The rooms have a beautiful view over Parikia from their big balconies (2nd floor apartments). The rooms have a nice up to date bathroom, a small kitchenette with 2 hot plates, fridge, coffee machine, toaster and neccessary kitchenware. The room gets cleaned every day with fresh towels and the bed gets made. However the best part of the stay was the lovely owners, which is a family. Elisavet and her brother gave us alot of great advice for our stay and organized taxis for us whenever we needed it. They also rent out scooters, atvs and cars. We rented a car for 3 days, and the car was brand new. The price of the car was cheaper than any other alternative and we would definitely recommend to rent a car here! We got to explore the island by car, and got to see some incredible places. We had no complaints during our stay and would love to come back to Paros Paradise Apartments.

A very quaint family owned and run hotel in Parakia Paros. The hotel is well maintained and reasonably appointed. It is kept in good working order and state of repair. It is also very clean with a daily cleaning service provided by professional cleaners. The owners George and Elisabeth are on site 24/7 and are always very keen to help and assist where they can. They also provide limited car and scooter rental as well as assist in airport and port transfers. We are regulars to the hotel and have always throughly enjoyed our stays there. We are made to feel very welcome and comfortable. The location is spectacular with a wonderful view of the town from all the rooms and its a short walk to get to all the bars, cafes and restaurants. There is also a lovely beach very close and within a short walking distance. I highly recommend Paros Paradise and we look forward to our stay there every time.

Our top floor Junior Suite with a sea view and terrace was perfect for our 10 nights on Paros. Comfortable double bed, kitchen with hot plates, a microwave, sandwich toaster, fridge and tea and coffee making facilities, air conditioning in both the lounge and bedroom, wardrobe, safe, 3 seater lounge chair, TV (Greek channels) and a reasonable sized bathroom. Our room was serviced & had the bins emptied daily which was a nice touch and the bed changed twice. Out side our private terrace had views directly over the bay, a 3 seater & a 2 seater outside couches, a dining table & 4 chairs & a clothes drying rack. Plenty of space inside and out. Livadia is a great sand beach and just below the apartment. For those looking for a bit more there are a couple of beach club style setups renting sun leaners and umbrellas for the day and selling food and drinks. It is across the bay so getting from and back to the port with bags for us required transport which the accommodation arranged, if you are travelling light walking the beach is possible. The walk via the waterfront path to the Supermarket is 1.5km / 20 minutes and to the port & old town 1.75km 23 minutes (without bags). We hope to stay again.
