Paros:
Time to Slow Down
After the energy of Athens, we travelled
to Paros and stayed in the beachside
village of Logaras for four nights.
Athens
Athens:
Ancient Wonders and Modern
Energy
Our next stop was Athens,
where we spent two nights
surrounded by ancient history
and vibrant city life.
The Acropolis was naturally
at the top of our list, followed
by a visit to the Acropolis
Museum, which provided
valuable context to the
ruins and artefacts. We also
watched the ceremonial
changing of the guard,
explored the shops and
embraced one of Greece’s
simplest pleasures: eating
freshly made gyros!
We stayed at:
Electra Rhythm Athens
Our rating: 5/5 stars
Its central location made
exploring easy, while the
rooftop restaurant offered
excellent food and memorable
city views. The friendly service
completed the experience.
Logaras was peaceful, picturesque
and perfect for slowing down. With
its waterfront setting and relaxed
atmosphere, there was not a long list
of attractions to work through, and
that was precisely its appeal. Some
destinations encourage you to explore;
Logaras encourages you to stop.
When we wanted more activity,
we ventured into the island’s main
town to enjoy its lively crowds, shops
and restaurants.
We stayed at:
Magoo Suites
Our rating: 5/5 stars
Magoo Suites was one of the most
relaxing stays of the trip. Located
directly on the waterfront at Logaras
Beach, it offered a peaceful setting
where we could wake to views of the
sea and enjoy the slower rhythm of
island life. The stylish accommodation,
beautiful outlook and easy access to
the beach made it the perfect base
for unwinding.
