Everybody has different travel stories, but we all share the same plan of flying into Athens, taking a bus to the port of Piraeus, and boarding a ferry to Paros. (Although I did have a brief and unintended visit to the island of Syros)
Anyways, after a long, boring night of catching up on 2 days without sleep, our group went out to lunch at a tidy little gyro shop, after which I finally had a chance to see some of the town.
The island’s main town, Parikia, is bright, with its white painted buildings vibrant under the vault of the cloudless Aegean sky. I’ve not met many of its inhabitants yet, but my few introductions so far have been warm and welcoming.
Also lots of cats running around. I think I might like this place.
