Paros, Greece Gives Families a Fantasy Escape for a Fantasy Price:
Savvy Travelers Enjoy Off-Season Island Life
Families can escape the work-a-day world on Paros, in the center of the Aegean Sea. This Greek isle offers the quintessential paradise-on-earth setting, including beaches, mountains, and small villages. November to April is tourism's off-season, making a winter stay on the island both affordable and uncrowded. The visit is even more relaxing when enjoyed from a private rental home that combines distinct Greek charm and modern amenities.
Paros floats in the Aegean's postcard-blue waters. There is a difference between Old World and Antiquity: this is the land of Alexander the Great, the home of philosophers and saints, the inspiration of poets and sculptors. Islands like Paros mesmerized Odysseus. Can you hear the Sirens sweetly singing, calling you away from the doldrums of winter to the gleaming beaches that surround your private vacation home?
Paros is home to Kolymbirthres beach, famous for its rock formations, sheltered coves, water sports, child-friendly swimming, and proximity to local taverns. And then there's the sand of Golden Beach, which sparkles in the sunshine! In addition to beaches, hills and mountains roll throughout Paros. Paros exported its famed white marble for centuries. The unique beauty of the island's natural resources will surround you even today in the form of marble castles and churches. The vacation home pictured below is made completely of island stone!
The small villages of Paros are painted in the traditional style--tidily white-washed with
bright blue doors. When you're picturing Greek elegance, you're picturing Paros.

Now is the best time to experience this fantasy island in reality. The warm sand and blue skies offer the perfect escape from cold, drab winter. Also, prices are significantly reduced in this, the traditional off-season. Make the "off-season" your "on-season"! Savvy travelers can avoid the crowds and the tourist rates without sacrificing any of the luxury and magic.
Early spring offers an additional delight--the chance to celebrate Greek (Orthodox) Easter in Greece! Orthodox Easter is celebrated with rich church traditions and colorful local pageantry, including bonfires, fireworks, and feasts of lamb. What's more, this year Orthodox Easter and Western (Catholic and Protestant) Easter fall on the same day (April 24, 2011). Come to Greece and celebrate two Easters!
The best way to enjoy Paros is in comfort and privacy. Renting a home provides a level of relaxation that a hotel cannot match. The home offered here comfortably sleeps six. It includes a dishwasher, washing machine, full kitchen, brand-new appliances and furniture, energy-efficient air conditioning and heat, a fireplace, and two full baths with showers. Also included is a new flat-screen TV and state-of-the-art audio center. The views are spectacular, and don't forget the unique stonework. The house is steps away from the beach, and also within walking distance of restaurants and nightlife.
