Paros'
old town, also known as Parikia, is a typically charming maze of pedestrian
only streets, whitewashed houses with blue woodwork, tropical flowers
flopping around, and odd little bars and restaurants. In the picture
on the right is the remains of the Frankish Kastro, AD 1260, mainly
a wall embedded with chunks of an ancient temple to Athena.
The island is not wonderfully attractive or especially interesting
but is quiet, comfortable and has various pleasant beaches, one just
north of the port; the best beach, though smallest, is Kolimbythres.
