![]() ![]() If you are getting the ferries, I will say this is just the best way to travel, it is so much a part of our holiday and they are so efficient.Įnjoy your time in wonderful Greece and you may bump in to us along the way as we too are travelling to the Cyclades in June. We really enjoyed the sunset cruise but not sure the kids would. We stayed in Elena's, great rooms and a brilliant host. Paros is also very Greek in architecture and again so welcoming. We have hired bikes and once you are out of the main town it's safe and not too strenuous. We have driven over the island and everyone you meet is so friendly and helpful. Stelida has many lovely places to eat and drink. We have also stayed in Stelida, Xenia's Home, gorgeous little complex with its own pool (listed on TripAdvisor). ![]() I think there is an open air cinema there but unfortunately we have never gotten around to going. Naxos town is bustling and has numerous restaurants and shops, it is very Greek in its architecture. The island is really family friendly, St George Beach is lovely, one end of it very sheltered the other more open and has a great wind surfing centre. ![]() However Naxos and Paros are both glorious. Hi, I can't comment on, Milos (we are considering that island this year). I was thinking beaches and icecream would be enough :o) "appeal to a 12 year old and 8 year old". A great variety of beaches all around the island, mostly accessible by bus and/or some walking.and perhaps it's USP, the island of Antiparos, just 5mins across a sea strait by shuttle ferry. If you want a bit more glitz, then head to Naoussa. My personal favourite is Paros, I like it's slightly less touristic feel.and the comparatively workaday grit of Parikia. Lively town without being tacky and a generally good all round vibrancy and 'Greekness'. Good, some say great, if to me, slightly dull beaches.to qualify, I like rocky coves, and they're quite a long way south on Naxos.the more convenient ones are more sweeping sand bays.beautiful water though! Naxos is likely to be the busiest of the 3, with a good sized local population and huge popularity with Scandinavians, and all the rest of us (for now), Eurotrash. Im wondering if you have any advice on what to do, not to do. In each place we will stay around 2 days, in Mykonos around 5 days. Athene by plane to Santorini by boat to paros>naxos>mykonos. Any piece advice you would give Question. Naxos is much bigger which means road trips have to go either north and back or south and back again from Chora. It takes about 6 hours with various stops along the way. Apparently fantastic beaches, but transport needed as limited bus infrastructure. Going to athene>Santorini>paros>naxos>mykonos. Paros is smaller and you can explore it by car in less than a day by doing a loop around the island. Milos will be pretty quiet in June I imagine, although I've never been.but does seem to be cropping up more and more on itineraries of North American & Australian visitors, so maybe not.perhaps someone's been doing a good job on the marketing front :o). I don't think you can really go wrong with any of these islands really. ![]()
