A monastery off the beaten path which we really liked! We took a detour to the monastery on our way back from Arachova to Athens. It is big and beautiful and has a beautiful painted crypt and inside of the church. Well looked after and lost of interesting history. The stables and one or two other buildings did burn down 2-3 years ago and they are restoring it. It does not distract from the great experience and I can highly recommend the place. Lots of parking and we could pay by card.

A must see. Worth a detour, worth a visit. Meteora is also a must see at a stunning location. This is a stunning monastery at a beautiful place.

Stunning view of the mountains, the building itself is beautifully taken care of, it is active so people do go to participate in service but there is plenty of small areas to explore with bits of history information and a small museum room where u need to buy entry tickets. There is a large parking lot higher up from monastery but with the hills and stairs it could be difficult for someone with mobility issues. There are clean toilets for use before you get the entry gate as well

I drive in from Domvrina. The drive was amazing, Ag Anna was beautiful, all the villages on the way were beautiful and the Monestery is in a unbelievable place. Stunning views. The people there are so nice. I recommend anyone visiting Greece visit here.

Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Lots of history and things to see. I think it was 10€ to enter.

Gorgeous monastery that everyone should visit. I can't believe how obscure this place is when it's monumental and religious value matches that of Parthenon in its respective hostorical era. The view is wonderful and everyone is so friendly and willing to share facts about Saint Loukas and the monastery itself.

One of the most beautiful and interesting places to visit in Greece, it’s a must

The Corinth Canal is a truly spectacular sight, and it's much more than just a waterway. Standing on the bridge, you get a powerful sense of the history and the immense engineering effort it took to carve this narrow, deep channel through solid rock. The sheer cliffs on either side are breathtaking, and watching a ship navigate this incredibly tight passage is a unique and thrilling experience. It's a must-do for anyone traveling through Greece, offering both a stunning natural view and a fascinating glimpse into human ingenuity.

Nice place to stop by! Such a deep and narrow cuts which separates the Peloponnese peninsula from the Greek mainland. With a nice history behind ofcourse. Only the view from the bridge is stunning. I wanted to try bungee jumping here but it was closed 😩 Still, totally worth the visit!

Had an amazing boat ride through the Corinth canal both ways. Only €22 each on Anna 11 cruises. Lasted about an hour or so and went from the quay on the Athens side of the canal. It's incredible how it was dug and dynamited out of the rocks. Very steep sides in places with road and rail bridges spanning it. Well worth doing. Maravilho.

We visited the Corinth Canal and were absolutely amazed by its breathtaking views — it’s a must-see both for its visual impact and historical significance. Standing on the bridge and looking down into the narrow, deep waterway is truly unforgettable. There are several nearby restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy a meal or a drink at relatively reasonable prices. It’s a great spot to take a break, enjoy the scenery, and soak in the atmosphere. For thrill-seekers, there’s also the opportunity to go bungee jumping right over the canal. At around €100 per person, it’s definitely on the pricier side, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that adds a real adrenaline rush to your visit. Parking was easy and the area felt tourist-friendly. I’d highly recommend stopping here if you’re passing through the region — even a short visit is worth it!

The Corinth Canal is a fascinating sight. Typically, tour buses heading to the Peloponnese start there for a rest break and spend a few minutes seeing the canal. The ancient Greeks and Romans dreamed of building a canal here, but lack the technical ability. It was completed in the late 1800s using steam equipment. If you are able, suggest driving to the Diolkos. This was the ancient road that ran across the isthmus, mainly to transfer goods and on rare occasions ships.

You can't imagine how much I love Corinth canal, it looks unreal. I was many times here and always is amazing. I can stand on the bridge all day long. Don't miss this beauty.

It it really is one of the most beautiful sights in Greece not far away from Athens 1 hour drive. Truly mesmerizing and if you are up for the bungee jumping experience that's another plus

It was great to visit and I love the way the organization (by date) helps you understand how art evolved through the years is shorter than it says it is you can easily finished it in 1h

Very nice and well-maintained museum. Friendly welcome and guided staff who pointed out to us to visit the lower part as well. Without his friendly help we would have certainly missed this. Thanks & too bad this city does not seem so touristy. It is possibly all the fault of Alexander the Great and the final downfall of Thebes: the city was totally destroyed by him in 335 BC.

A rich collection of archaeological findings spanning the history of Beoetia from the paleolithic to the early Ottoman period. All signs and exhibit labels are in Greek and English. We took it slow and read almost everything and consequently spent around 3.5 hours here, but the average person will probably spend ~2 hours here.

Staff on the gate desk spoke English and appreciated the attempted use of Greek language whilst purchasing tickets (€10 for a standard entrance ticket). Outdoor exhibits are seen first and cover some very early periods of Ancient Greek sculpture, masonry and statue. All exhibits have dual Greek and English text and are detailed, both in the overall topic/ section and for numbered items in display cases - the interior exhibits are separated by era (Iron Age, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine etc) making navigation simplistic. The structure uses primarily flat ground but a wheelchair lift is available for disabled visitors in the one room that is lower than the rest of the buildings layout (this accessibility did not extend to the castle tower on the museum grounds which required visitors to navigate 2 small sets of above average steep metal steps to gain full access). I cannot comment on the onsite Café as it was early in what appeared to be renovations at the visit time. The museum Gift shop, which you walk past/ through when entering the indoor exhibits, stocked some small replicas of assorted busts and jewellery etc. Photography is allowed for non-commercial use (without flash). Overall, a worthy visit for any history nerd, especially in regards to the insights on the mundane through burial items, craftsmanship, changing artistic styles through the eras and shifting political and military policy as Greek land passed between so many hands and invading cultures over its history (there are no interactive exhibits or big fancy weapons racks for children to marvel at however, so be wary of those who have little patience for reading).

Very good museum, 10 euros each, free for children, great for learning all history through the ages, takes about 1 hour to get through

One of the best museums I have been to. They are many interesting artifacts from Thebes and the region and they are very well presented and explained in a beautiful building. I really liked her Linear B displays. They really need a better shop and cafe.

Must see, new building excellent collection and presentation.

Small bridge over Europe’s Strait water. Bridge opens up for sailing boats which is popular among locals and tourists. Euripus Strait is a narrow channel of water separating the Greek island of Euboea in the Aegean Sea from Boeotia in mainland Greece. Many popular restaurants are along the water, close to the bridge.

The Chalkida Old Bridge is an absolute gem that is definitely worth a visit! The sunset views with all the lights illuminating the bridge create a magical ambiance. Taking a leisurely walk along the pathwalk surrounded by restaurants and bars adds to the charm of the experience. It was the perfect spot for us to stay and avoid going to Athens for an early flight. If you're looking for a picturesque and convenient location, the Chalkida Old Bridge is a must-visit destination. Don't miss the opportunity to soak in the breathtaking scenery and enjoy a memorable time by the bridge!

The Old Bridge of Chalkida is one of the most iconic landmarks of the city. Built in 1896, it connects the center of Chalkida with northern Evia, crossing over the Euripus Strait. The bridge is famous for its unique mechanism that raises and lowers to allow ships to pass through. It is a historic monument and a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the sea and the city. It is one of the key stops for anyone visiting Chalkida, and the traditional atmosphere around the bridge always leaves an impression.

The famous bridge of Chalkida and Evia, one of only 2 bridges that connect tge island with the mainland of Greece. This bridge have a long history because of the water under it witg every few hours the flow change sides. Every day (each time in different hour) the bridge is opening and boats are passing

Lovely place for a short trip from Athens. Best fish taverns and best place for walk close to seaside. Calm city. This aerial photo can show you the beauty of this place. This bridge also used long years before for extreme sports.

Ancient technology but still strong when walking on it and cars passing by, you can feel the noice. And a ship crossing we well all stoped both cars and humans. And you can hear the noice as they left the bridgle, amaizing. And I love the surroundings restaurants bars et cetera.

I'm glad to have seen this old bridge. I walked over this and admired the Island of Evia from the Mainland side. Looking into the sea, the currents are so strong.

The Church of Saint Nectarios in Aegina is a truly miraculous place, filled with grace and peace. You feel close to the divine here – a wonderful spot for those seeking spiritual quiet and heartfelt prayer. It is said that prayers are truly heard in this sacred place. Practical note: the religious shop only accepts cash, not credit cards. The church is easy to reach by bus from Aegina port, and nearby you’ll find plenty of restaurants serving delicious traditional Greek food

I didn’t know what to expect for this monastery but it is a really good photo stop. It also got me curious about Saint Nectarios, who I learnt is venerated for many healings, especially of cancer, both during his life and after his death

Huge church. Amazing interior and obviously a place of pilgrimage for many. The reason being in the name St Nektarios. He is buried here and is known for many healing miracles. There is also the monastery and further relics. Appropriate dress is required. Long trousers for men and shirts. Women long skirts, not shorts, and tops should cover shoulders. No entrance fee but donations welcome, I'm sure.

Whole place is wonderful! The setting is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the ambiance is calming. Strongly recommend visiting for a peaceful and uplifting experience.

This is an awe inspiring church. The floors are designed with tiny tiny ceramic tiles and around the amazing alter are mosaics of sea creatures. Above is the Monastery, with a small church, the actual rooms where Agios Nektarios lived and worked (St. Nektarios) and a guide to fill you in on all the details of his objects, writings and life. In addition there is a small room with the Saint’s tomb where many people feel/receive special closeness to God and even whispers when they put their ear up to the tomb. Skirts and cover update provided as dress code requires respect.

A beautiful and breathtaking holy place, the Church and Monastery of Saint Nektarios of Aegina is dedicated to one of the most renowned Greek saints, venerated in both the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches. This is a must-visit site when in Aegina, accessible by local bus, taxi, or rented scooter/car, with ample parking available nearby. The journey takes about 20 minutes. Be respectful of this active sacred site, as it is frequented by many Greeks seeking the favor of the saint. Up the hill, you can also visit the monastery. Men and women must dress modestly in accordance with the rules. When we visited, the interior was being renovated but remained open for visitors to explore.

Very spiritual experience, energy there was something special. Souvenir shop was a bit unorganized, big line up with only a single person working, but had really nice things.

It's a beautiful temple, which I highly recommend visiting to learn about its historical significance. It's one of the three temples in the "Sacred Triangle." Admission is 10 euros and also gives you access to the museum.

Beautifully maintained Temple of the Goddess Aphaia, a mysterious figure local to Aegina and sometimes Crete. Pausanias (2nd c. CE) records that the Aeginetans called Britomartis “Aphaia. The Temple is really well-preserved and maintained. Admission is 10 Euro. Go early in the morning to avoid the buses and crowds. Taxis do go up here.

I like to call this island pistachio island. Everywhere you go including the beautiful temple of Aphaia are pistachios. Beautiful views and I would love to go here in the evening to take in the view of Athens. Amazing views.

A must-see if you’re visiting Aegina! The Temple of Aphaia is beautifully preserved and stands on a hill with an absolutely stunning view over the sea and even the mainland on a clear day. It’s quiet, peaceful, and feels very authentic compared to the crowded sites in Athens. Totally worth the 20-minute ride from the main port — it gives a real sense of ancient Greece. And after your visit, don’t miss grabbing a pistachio ice cream from the little shop right next to the site — Aegina’s specialty and the perfect way to end the visit!

It was okay. Maybe a lot better if we didn't walk a mile straight up to get there. Ruins with a small tourist store. Interesting information tables throughout. Lots of cats roaming around begging for food. Cost $10 euros to explore site. Very nice view from the top. Several tour busses were visiting at the same time as we were there.

It wasn’t that easy to get here - the ferry and then the taxi. But it’s worth it because of its more than 2.5K history and no need to jostle with other tourists. We got all the photos we wanted. The cats were very friendly once they knew we had cat food

It is a beautiful ancient temple well preserved. I don't know about the entrance cost because EU citizens under 25 have free entrance upon showing their ID. Highly recommend

The displays are in Greek and French, so if you speak that language I would give it four stars. While not everything needs to be in English and appreciate that it annoys some people, it is however the lingua franca. The museum is small, with detailed displays and exhibits covering the ancient city. Toilets are available and parking is out front. Handy, for walking over the main road to the ruins

We visited the museum during the full moon in August 2025 and watched an interesting documentary about the recent discovery of the Temple of Artemis, a joint Swiss–Greek enterprise.

Small museum with a few surprising unusual pieces, typical of small town museums in greece. The bronze age collection is particularly interesting. Great potential if the ministry took some interest in modernizing the space.

The staff is not interested in visitors. They just sell tickets. Few words of introduction would be very useful. Ladies do not help at all despite very few guests. The museum concept is fine. What annoys most, the inscriptions about the exhibits - all of them are only in Greek and French (!). Why?

It's a small museum but an interesting collection very well preserved. Small toys, glass specimens, and local pieces of dish or amphora. The explanations are interesting, well balanced between length and quality.

Worth visiting and following the path, whichbthey give on the map. Very unfortunate, that there is no info in English.

Magnificent museum with beautiful artifacts and jewelry. Very interesting explanation of how temples were built.

Ferry to Hydra, a Greek Island. Business Class. Very comfortable. Cabin was cold. Bring a jacket

Fast and comfortable trip that was on time both ways. I removed 2 stars only because I went to the ticket desk in Aegistra and the friendly agent said it was no problem to board an earlier ferry. I repeated myself just to make sure she understood that my ticket time was different and she patiently responded that the QR code would work. The QR code did not work, however, when I boarded and so I was unsure if I would have to buy a new ticket. The agent on the boat said she would take care of it and disappeared never to return. Please just make sure your agents and your ticket scanners are on the same page

Fast ticket sales. Very accommodating. Was able to change my ticket times so we can go back to Athens earlier than planned.

Don’t stress the reviews, reliable, easy to book online, got us there quickly, everyone was kind, just don’t come late and you won’t be stressed. Really grateful and such a more pleasant commute than flying!

Not much to say. Been helped super fast. Got good price and advice. Was also able to leave bags in office for couple of hours while waiting for ferry.

Last boat of the day had a problem so they cancelled with no communication or care for how people get back from Aegina, they said email for refunds, and refused to issue them there. absolutely no duty of care for customers

Riding the ferry to Aegina from Athens was beautiful. The ferry ride was amazing and comfortable. The ride was 40 minutes and $40 round-trip. It was a slow day, it was easy to get tickets. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful ferry.

One of my favorite place where you can enjoy great view and wonderful boats. Good places for drink, dinner or lunch. Or just walk aroun snd enjoy the atmosphere.🫶🥰❤️😍 and parking available two hours only €6!!!

Beautiful place with amazing yachts and a lovely promenade – truly magical atmosphere.

Flisvos Marina is a stunning location to visit with your whole family. There's something for everyone, it's an amazing place to stay for a couple of hours.

Very cool and nice marina, many super yachts berthed.

Flisvos Marina is a modern and luxurious marina located in the southern part of Athens. It hosts many yachts and has a beautiful sea view. The area is popular for walking, dining, and relaxing, with cafes, restaurants, and shops. It’s a great place to enjoy the seaside atmosphere close to the city center.

Very nice place to have a walk i will definitely go again

An excellent marina with a large number of berths for all types of vessels. The marina also has a number of bars and restaurants with excellent service and very good food where everyone can find something for themselves and there is also a gift shop if you want to buy a little something or a souvenir.

I had wished to visit this place for many years and, finally, I did. We are all familiar with the Marathon contests all around the world, but, this is the The Place, the origin, from where the Greek soldier Pheidippides, ran to Athens to report victory in the Battle of Marathon; he died of exhaustion after delivering the good news. Today's runners, fortunately, survive, although any Marathon race is extremely demanding. Visit the place with me, you are in no danger, enjoy good food and coffee at the shore of the Marathon Lake (it's an artificial one), wander the picturesque landscape, watch birds and just relax. Have a nice trip!

This lake is so quiet, BUT, the forest is burned severely, it's okay 👍 so this lake has a bridge 🌉🌉

.. A beautiful place in Attica that many times its forests being burned for land speculation and as a final act of Love for the environment they now plant and deposit 5 kilometers away the garbage of Attica in the this area!!!!5 is for the memory of forests 1 is for all the destruction of the last green zone of Attica all concerned involved..Of course money for these people I more important for the conditions of people living in this area and of course whole Athens....money that's the only word they learned to worship.. Hypocrisy at its best...not only....

Went there to run the great Authentic Greek Classic Marathon. Great views, great scenery and above all, the feelings, running a route over 2 000 year old!

Do NOT use this route. This map leads u to middle of nowhere, on dirt road, you will see valleys with trees burnt, and then dirt road track ended, field of wild flowers and grass filled the area, we had to make a u-turn to get out. DO NOT use this route if you want to visit Lake Marathon. Instead, if you must visit, pick the Lake Marathon panoramic view on Google map. It’s over-rated.

from a tourist perspective, there is nothing here... walking routes from the dam are blocked off and the one restaurant that used to be here is abandoned.

A great place to visit really close to Athens

A hidden gem for sure - more of a beach club than we were expecting but it’s very relaxed with a great array of amenities (showers, bar, restaurant). It’s a beautiful setting and the doctor fish were a great add to the experience. Staff aren’t the most welcoming or attentive but the food was tasty. Would recommend!

Had a wonderful time at the lake today, we got there for about 11-11.30 (via metro and bus, took an hour) and queued for 10 minutes. Didn’t ask for student identification and we easily managed to get two sunbeds as there was still many available. It was lovely vibe. Foods quite pricey for small portions and not a lot of vegetarian options, just tomato basil pasta or margherita pizza as the two hot mains. We spent a few hours here, loved the fish. Water was SO salty! Not seen anyone else post about how salty it was, suprised me a lot! The lake was pretty cold despite it saying 25 degrees but fair enough. Changing facilities were good. Only two cubicles for female toilets though which surprised me. I enjoyed the experience as a whole!

This place is just suuuuper cool👍👍 Enjoyed it just a to the beginning of March, sunny weather. Sun is very warm, but not burning, temperature in the lake is very refreshing. Lake is surrounded by the high rocks, so there is no wind there, just a smooth breeze.All what you need on weekend!! and it is very close to Athens 👍

Absolutely great idea to visit this lake. Come early as the sunbeds get occupied pretty fast by lunch time. No sunscreen allowed into the water, which is perfect in my opinion. Food and drinka available as well as wheelchair access.

This is a spectacular lake and chill beach club. It is such great spot to spend the day but the bad service of the staff there really let it down. I visited in June 2024 and had a wonderful experience in a cabana with my family. I even wrote an 3-page feature article about the Athens Riviera mentioning it and Abraovato for Robb Report ANZ where I was the assistant editor at the time. This year my visit today was still beautiful but the service was underwhelming. There was a mix up with my booking on the door which resulted in the blonde female manager in charge being very rude to on the door acting aggressively from the start. Then after settling down to read in our pre-booked lounge chairs for 50 euro (not what we thought wee were getting really) we ordered mineral water and coffee and decided to make the most of where we were seated. But after our first swim we were then surrounded by two male lifeguards, a swarthy and loud old male pool cleaner, and another two older male service people who gossiped very loudly right behind us for over 25 -30 minutes which made me very uncomfortable and made it hard to concentrate on drawing and reading (let alone sleeping which would have been nice). I didn't come to the beach club to sit around with a bunch of strange men who were supposed to be working and weren't. Every time i turned around they were staring at me. The place was pretty empty so we asked to please be moved to a quieter spot and we did move to some chairs right around the back of the lake where we continued reading and sketching the lake. We ordered a salad and a cocktail and moved all our own stuff to some new sun beds that were just in the sun. Again empty beds around us for as far as the eye could see Then we were getting prepared to relax when the blonde female manager came back over and told us we had to pay another 60 euro to stay on the sunbeds. So instead of staying until 6.00pm and eating and drinking as we had intended and having a snooze there went to the One &Only for lunch in Glyfada where the service, pool and bar is impeccable. This beach club could have made our stay so pleasant and enjoyable and the unprofessional staff really let it down. Had they offered us an upgrade to start with and some good service we could have had a great time. I have told so many people about this place and now I will not continue to because there is a nasty attitude in the staff that is truly inexplicable.

Everything is great. But look on this toilets.??? 17 euros entrance ticket and you can not fix it. You can see a neighbor in another cabin from the hole in that plastic cover. The door is not closing and the button with a mechanism outside

Very beautiful place. But the staff ist handeling und the equipment during opening houers in the afternoon which is very noisy and disturbing. They even take your chairs away you pay for and put yor stuff somewhere else 2h before closing. If one charges about 40 EUR entrance fee clarly wrong.

We stopped here on our way to the airport, and it was a much more pleasant and relaxed shopping experience compared to Athens, which felt hot, crowded, and stressful in comparison. There’s a free luggage storage service available until 8:30 PM, which was really convenient. You’ll find a variety of restaurants, a large supermarket, and cafes with delicious pastries—all at reasonable prices. Most major clothing, footwear, and homeware brands are represented here. We arrived in the early afternoon. Although it was warm, there was a nice breeze. As the weather cooled down later, the place started to fill up with more visitors. One thing that truly stood out was how clean the restrooms were—honestly the cleanest I’ve seen anywhere in the world. The taxi from Athens cost €30 and took about 35 minutes. Just note that to leave the area, you’ll need to order a taxi (Uber works well).

We stopped here on our way to the airport for some last-minute shopping, and it was pretty cool. The mall has two big sections: an open area and a covered part. It’s spacious and family-friendly, plus there's a playground for the kids. Everything is well-designed and the restrooms are impressively clean. The Guest Services provides a free luggage storage service for tourist shoppers, but you need to show a plane ticket to use it. You can find all kinds of restaurants, a supermarket, and cafes with yummy pastries, and everything's reasonably priced. Most of the stores are branded, offering good deals on clothes, shoes, and household stuff. Just make sure to keep your receipts so you can get a tax refund for your purchases at the airport. The only downside is that there's no store for authentic Athens souvenirs, which is kind of a bummer.

Amazing! So many brands with great special offers. Totally worth spending the whole day here, visit both the premium section and the part with Zara, Sinsay, etc. There’s also a playground area for kids, making it perfect for families.

This mall is big! They have evrything and its very beautiful and pretty. If you are in the area its a must visit also walking distance to zoo and waterpark

Athens Designer Outlet is a shopper’s paradise! A great mix of international and Greek brands with impressive discounts all year round. The layout is spacious and easy to walk around, with plenty of cafés and restaurants for a break between shopping. It’s clean, well-organized, and has a relaxed atmosphere that makes the whole experience enjoyable rather than stressful. Convenient parking and friendly staff make it even better. Perfect for a day out if you love fashion and great deals!

Highly recommended perfect place to visit on your last day in Athens You can easily spend the whole day here without noticing the time it’s a beautiful and spacious outlet with so many great stores and a relaxing atmosphere. Most luxury brands are outlet stores, so you can find amazing deals and very reasonable prices. There are also a lot of popular brands like Zara and Pull&Bear… The place looks modern, elegant, and clean, and they even offer a free luggage storage service, so you can leave your suitcases and shop comfortably. We went straight from the outlet to the airport it was super easy We just took a bus to the train station, then a train directly to the airport everything was smooth and convenient

As with most outlets all over the world, the architectural layout and the brands displayed are similar. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. Because of the physical layout, visitors are not shielded from the rains if they want to move from shop to shop unless they use the underground carpark. When I was there on Monday, there wasn't many people. It opens at 10 in the morning.

I love this Zoo. We come with my son who is now 2 for over the year every weekend. We come less in summer, as it is hot. Its amazing zoological park with big variety of animals. Animals overall seems to get a great care. One thing tho, I really dont like how they "care" for rabbits! Im an owner of the rabbit fo over 12 years and the care they get at zoo is absolutely inadequate. They should do afoption program for them there. But real and seriouse one, maybe to partner with shelter, etc... And I do belive the seals need a much bigger pool. Also I wish the owner could participate with nice coffee shops and spread them around the territory. So people can have wariety of options. Also I do belive place can benefit from more programs like : buy a steak for Lion, or buy some food for animal of choice and you can see him fed by our stuff at certain hours. Thats will bring more money and more returned visitors and more visitors in general. We have annual path. Its amazing park otherwise to come to.

Very nice organized zoo close to Athens, very close to the airport. It has a large variety of exhibits. The dolphins pool is unique, I have never seen that kind of activity in a zoo. The Asian elephants are great. The butterflies area is also very nice. Has a lot of spots to seat, with plenty of shadow. The crew was very helpful, the place well maintained, and not crowded.

We really enjoyed our visit, so much we stayed 6 hours! If you have young kids, renting a trolley is worth it as there is obviously a lot of walking. Regardless of what you think of zoos, the zoo is clean, animals seem healthy and happy and it’s a great educational environment for children to learn to respect the planet and the animal kingdom. A fantastic day out!

It was a wonderful experience, especially the Lemurian therapy :)) ! There is great variety of animals and they are very well taken care of. The trail is beautiful with trees and greenery. We spent aroud 3h but you need around 4h-4:30h to see everything.

Amazing experience for my little boy 💙 I know he won't remember today's activities but he enjoyed it the most, so we decided it's good for his brain development to repeat this activity every year until he is old enough to create meaningful memories with his family 😁 until next time then!!!

I can't say enough good things about this zoo. It's clear from the moment you walk in that the staff genuinely cares about the animals and their well-being. Every animal looked incredibly well-maintained, healthy, and clean. The enclosures are spacious and meticulously looked after, providing a great environment for the animals. Beyond the animals, the entire zoo was spotlessly clean and well-arranged. The pathways were clear, the landscaping was beautiful, and it was easy to navigate from one exhibit to another. It made for a very pleasant and enjoyable day.

The Athens Zoo is a true oasis of joy for animal lovers. The fact that you don’t have to wait in long lines and can even enter certain areas to feed the animals makes the experience truly wonderful. It’s a beautiful, relaxing place filled with special moments.

The trip was about an hour and a half from where i'm staying.But after you get out of the hustle and bustle, the trip was awesome. A lot of places you could pull over and take pictures or just pull over and go down to the shore. The temple itself was twenty euros, which seemed kind of high.But I did have a good time and got plenty of pictures.

The temple is beautiful, but the tickets are a little expensive for how much time you can actually spend here. This is definitely one of the best places you can watch the sunset from, though. We went on a semi-cloudy day, and even then the sunset was stunning. There is also a cafe that is nice to take some time to relax at, since if you're staying in Athens it is a bit of a drive.

A beautiful place in itself, but the unjustifiably high price of €20 made us turn back and take a free walk in another part of the peninsula, where the views were just as breathtaking. Is the price of watching the sunset — even next to such a stunning temple — really comparable to the entrance fee for Mycenae, Corinth, or Epidaurus, where, in addition to the ruins, you also visit a museum and get a wealth of information? A highly promoted tourist spot — deservedly so for its amazing views, but not for its price.

Well worth the visit. Beautiful spot for sunset or sunrise just pity cant buy tickets in advance and so creates lenghty lines to get in . One desk to buy tickets . Bathrooms another long line for ladies especialy.

This place is just magical during sunset.🌄 It was actually raining when we got there and just before the sunset at 18:30, the weather turned. There was also a beautiful rainbow🌈 Don't buy tickets in advance due to weather conditions, so just buy on the spot.

Visiting the Temple of Poseidon was an unforgettable experience. The temple itself is truly majestic, standing tall for more than 2,000 to 3,000 years and offering a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Greek history. The surrounding sea views are breathtaking, and when combined with the temple’s presence, it feels almost magical. The highlight of the visit was without doubt the sunset. It is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, with the colors reflecting over the Aegean Sea and the temple glowing in the evening light. The road leading to the temple was also a wonderful part of the journey, with scenic views all along the way. A must-visit when in Greece! 🌅🏛️

The temple on the edge of the sea is a magnificent view. It's definitely worth it to visit. It's not so hard to get to there from Athens with the public transport. You can take the bus to Sunion which cost only 6.20 euros in direction. We took it from the Singrou-fix at around 11 o'clock. The trip to there takes around two hours and the road is very beautiful by the sea. The entrance ticket is 20 euros. There is coffee/restaurant there. The bus will drop you off right to the entrance of the temple.

Beatiful beach with crystal clear shallow water ideal for kids. You can either get the sunbeds for 40€ or set yourselves in the free zone which is to the left as well as to the right from the beach club. There is a nice restaurant and bar serving delicious food and good drinks.

This beach bar has nice food good service and the atmosphere was amazing. The beach itself was super clean and barely any rocks.

While it’s nice to have beach loungers, they are absolutely overpriced at 40 euros per set, the umbrellas are not all high quality meaning there are pieces missing and therefore not providing full sun coverage but the water is the biggest reason for why you shouldn’t come to this beach….the amount of trash in the water was shocking, pieces of plastic, paper, etc. it was the least clear I’ve seen of any ocean water in Greece. The restaurant attached is fine for a meal but I wouldn’t bother with this beach

They do NOT let you move the sunbeds! If you want shade, then tough luck. You pay 40 euro to stay in 1 spot in the hot sun. There is also lounge music on the beach which again is unlike any other beach in Kea. Noisy, rude staff, rigid and nonsense rules.

Tried to move the sunbed 1-2 meters in the shadow since it was very sunny and I was denied by the staff under the reason that all sunbeds should be in line. I find this rude. Left immediately. This is the opposite of greek hospitality and leisure vibes. Don’t recommend.

Nice beach..nothing extremely exceptional but good nonetheless. Clean water. Not big, not small (review doesn't include sunbeds service which is pricey for the setup)

You cannot move the 40 euro sun lounger in the shade. Rude staff, not worth it, there are much better beaches on this island.

Nice beach with quite dirty sand but still worth to visit (via boat from Merichas 14 euro both ways). Unfortunately the only place to eat or have water is closed. Also a gate to the church on the hill is closed at the moment and not possible to open it unless you climb the rock fence.

The road to the beach isn’t as bad as people say! You can get there with a regular car – it’s just a bit narrow and unpaved, so if you meet another car you’ll need to coordinate a bit, but with caution you can definitely go with a regular car. No need for a boat, even though lots of people will tell you otherwise The beach is amazing.

Not easy to reach by car as some 200 meters are very narrow even for one car! As there were more the 60 boats and yachts the water was not clear so the swim was less 3 seconds! But this piece of stand land is amazing!

Avoid at peak season (mid August) if you like quiet and not too crowded beaches. Otherwise nice sandy beach , good for swimming and SuP when the wind is northerly

Beach Kolones in Kythnos is a hidden paradise that promises a unique and tranquil escape. The golden sands blend with the azure Aegean Sea, framed by rugged cliffs that enhance its exclusivity. The unspoiled charm of Beach Kolones offers a serene atmosphere, a welcome break from crowded tourist spots. Snorkeling reveals vibrant marine life. Prepare with essentials and embark on an unforgettable journey to this hidden gem. The addition of Kolona Experience Bar – Restaurant is a must-visit for those seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure. It's more than a restaurant – it's a celebration of taste, art, and innovation.

A beautiful special beach with clear water. Unfortunately, due to the closeness of Athens, there is a lot of boats here especially on the weekends. It can get very crowded. There is more pleasant beaches on the island close to this one, so you don’t necessarily need to stay where everybody is staying. On the north western shore there is a little side beach that has a volcanic thermal spring with clear 38° water just on the beach. It is almost hidden and you can only see it when you are walking on the beach.

A place of unreal beauty. For sailing enthusiasts, this is a great place. For many the beginning of long tours and for some safe place and excellent protection from all winds. We have been many times and every time we approach Kolona beach we feel the same charm from the beginning.

Sweet beach, one of the best. I dont mind the waves. Good restaurants. Where is the parking for beach only?

We loved the fine sand and lush “armyriki” trees on the beach providing good shade. The wind was very strong and the waves were crashing onto the beach, making it hard to swim, but there was very little whiplash from the sand (“ammovoli “). Will come back.

Amazing bay with Crystal clear water, you need to park on the side of the road and go by foot for five minutes down to the beach, but it’s worth it. You have two nice taverns and a lot of trees you could sit under and have the best time .

Beautiful beach, soft sand and water is not too cold. Can be a tad windy, but doesn’t take away from how nice the beach is.

Wonderful beach with dreamlike water Nice to have a choice of two taverns

Very nice beach, unspoiled but with a couple of tavernas (which I did not try). Not easily accessible (there is a bus) and the steps down might discourage some (the better for those who make it!)

This hotel was the best hotel we ever had on the Cycladic islands. Authentic, excellent located and extrem friendly service. The warm-hearted owner family supports you with everything you need. We had a beautiful sea view room with a balcony facing the Aegean sea. Is there something more beautiful than in the morning to open the shades and look into the deep blue sea. They serve a small breakfast which you pick and enjoy on your own terrace. The rooms are very quite and guarantee and excellent sleep.

A true gem and one of the best experiences on the island! Dimitri has lovingly restored this small olive press museum, bringing his family's legacy back to life. His storytelling is engaging, funny, and moving, offering a fascinating insight into both olive oil production and his personal history. The museum’s small size adds to its charm, making for an intimate and memorable visit. Perfect for spending 1–2 hours, would highly recommend and we would return if we were ever to come back to Andros

This is something that should be considered as a unique experience. It's a story telling via personal experience about how family history comes together with olive oil and restoration of this ancient olive mill. It gives an extra apart that the owner tailors each tour. Size of the museum does not matter, you walk away with great knowledge and really personal touch which often nowadays is lacking. Check the opening times in advance.

What a fantastic museum this is! Dimitris is a wonderful guide, he is so passionate and knowledgeable. He gave us a splendid tour, we learned so much and it was so interesting and fun. Highly recommend!!!

This museum is very cute, interesting and personal. The owner runs the tours himself and he is very proud of what he had put together. You can learn a lot about olive oil and you get a feel for the central role it plays in the Greek (and Mediterranean) culture and the importance for its people. It is also interesting for (teenage) children.

Dimitri the owner of his family oil mill was terrific, lots of history and technical information about how things work. The 400 year old building is a very unique structure with architectural stone arches. No entry fee but donations accepted.

Fantastic tour. Dimitris is one of a kind. Beautiful information

I've visited this museum today and it's easily one of the best experiences I've had in a museum even though it's quite small. The owner and restorer, Dimitri, guides you around the mill and tells you about the history of olive oil and the procedure of making it. The coolest thing about it is that after he restored it himself after the mill being abandon in 1960, he and local farmers and his parents made olive oil there and he documented the whole thing for everybody to see. A very interesting museum even for people who normally aren't interested in olive oil. Definitely a recommended visit.

Modern art isn't necessarily our thing but it's a very well regarded gallery and very beautiful inside. We went for the Takis 100 exhibition, it's well laid out and actually really interesting. 10€ well spent, actually.

Excellent home for modern art, paintings and sculpting , installations from a variety of foreign and local artist of this century and the one before. Currently hosting in the rolling exhibitions, Mitaras paintings. The permanent part has local artist Dobros, and variety of installations from Takis and Zogolopoulos and others. Only pictures from the part that was permited to shoot, presented here and are property of their creators and all rights reserved by them and their anchestors, foundations e.t.c.

Really amazing, not a big fan of arts but it was very interesting, So even if you're also not a big fan of arts you should visit it too. The items at the exhibition were magnificent. Don't miss the documentary movie at the entrance/exit floor (same)

Don't miss the Tasi exhibit. But even if you do, this place will give you a thoughtful art break.

Both Buildings had only the temporary exhibit. Given the location, small Greek island, the museum was really good and big.

Great exhibition of Mytaras, but I was very disappointed about the building: it stands on a privileged point of Chora by the sea, but it has no windows at all! What a waste of a wonderful view that could have been combined with great art. You feel like in a basement. It’s quite claustrophobic.

Really lovely gallery with rotating shows.

Galissas Beach - The Perfect Syros Getaway Galissas Beach is truly a gem on the beautiful island of Syros, easily offering one of the most complete and enjoyable beach experiences in the Cyclades. It manages to perfectly balance natural beauty with excellent organization, making it ideal for all types of travelers, especially families. The Perfect Beach Setup, The beach is characterized by its lovely stretch of soft, golden sand and the crystal-clear, shallow waters that are perfect for swimming. Many visitors note the gentle slope of the seabed, which allows children to play safely. The beach is well-sheltered, making the water calm and inviting, often described as having the clarity of a swimming pool. Amenities and Vibe, What sets Galissas apart is the convenience. You have the choice of relaxing on the organized sections with comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas, or finding a quieter spot on the free section of sand. The area is backed by a great selection of tavernas and cafes where you can grab a cold drink or a traditional Greek meal without having to travel far. The atmosphere is consistently described as laid-back and peaceful, avoiding the rowdy crowds found at some other major island beaches. Stunning Scenery, The surrounding scenery is also a major draw. The beach is flanked by the towering rock formation of Agia Pakou, where you can take a short, rewarding walk up to a charming little church offering breathtaking panoramic views of the bay, especially beautiful around sunset. Galissas Beach is an absolute must-visit on Syros. It’s clean, well-equipped, naturally gorgeous, and provides everything you need for a relaxing day by the Aegean Sea. We highly recommend spending a few days here!

Definitely one of the (if not) best beach in the island. Not too crowded, clean and shallow water and basics facilities such as beach bar, umbrellas and public showers.

Very nice beach in Syros

Lovely church, the best on the island. Can be visited inside, which is often an exception on the islands. Worth the visit.

5 stars are not enough. Trully amazing view! The church is not big, but it is clean and very welcoming. The waters around the church are crystal clear. It is perfect for a quick visit, before or after your swimm!

Beautiful church overlooking Chrisopigi beach. You walk like in a dream along the path to the sea. A gem and a must see. The beach nearby is really nice with transparent and clean waters. You can walk/swim quite far until it gets deep. Perfect for families with kids.

A beautiful church with a lovely vibe! We didn’t go inside because there was a wedding, but you can enjoy a great view from afar. There’s a nice walk that leads down to a nearby beach, which is absolutely amazing. A couple of parking spots are available, making it convenient. Perfect spot for a mix of sightseeing and beach time!

Sheer natural beauty together with a tiny place for meditation in front of the new and interesting icon of Mother Mary (unique in the name of Chrisopigi). Unexpected bonus a great spot for adventurous swimming and discovery. Great food at the tavern next to the nearby beach.

The monastery is at the very edge of the cape with a classical Aegean-cycladic architectural style.

Beautiful church, the walk from Fassolou Beach takes about 30 minutes and is absolutely worth it !

10+1 things you must know about the City Hall of Hermoupolis on Miaouli Square: 1. This magnificent building, the biggest and certainly one of the most architecturally important Town Halls in Greece, has three floors on the side overlooking the square and two floors in the rear due to the ground’s incline. 2. It was built in 1876 under the supervision of German-Bavarian architect Ernst Ziller (he is the man behind the Academy of Athens and the Apollo Municipal Theatre of Patra) and inaugurated in 1898. 3. Its design draws architecturally on three different styles: Tuscan, Ionic, and Corinthian. 4. The building’s outstanding features include a princely staircase 15.5 meters high, two wings with five vertical window axes right and left, towers, a marble pediment and portraits of former Syros mayors. 5. The second floor is of Ionic style and the towers are of Korinthian style. The central part is entirely made of marble and you will see an inscription explaining that the Municipality of Hermes erected this building in the honor of mayor Vafiadakis. 6. On the left of the staircase, there is the bust of Mayor Vafiadakis (1804-1898). 7. The hall of the municipal council meetings is of particular interest: In the lobby there are the portraits of all Mayors, in the room you will see oil paintings of King George I (1864-1912) and Queen Olga, by artist Prosalentis. 8. In 1998 the building was renovated, the glass roof was reconstructed and artist Anna Vassilaki used original designs by Ziller to paint the walls of the building. 9. The Town Hall also hosts the Archaeological Museum of Syros, the Court of Law and some other public services. 10. By a ministerial decree of 1980, it has been identified as a work of art (masterpiece). +1: inside the City Hall you will also find a vintage carriage that belonged to Princess Sissi (the Empress Elisabeth of Austria, image 5) and the coat of arms of the city of Ermoupolis (image 8).

The Town Hall of Ermoupolis is located in Miaouli Square which is the main square. The Town Hall is open for visits every day (Monday to Friday) from 9:00 to 15:00. Located here are also the Courthouse, the Land Registry, the Archaeological Museum and other public services. On the upper floor is where the meetings were held. You’ll see old oil paintings of King George I and Queen Olga. There is also a courtyard and cafe. Worth a visit at no charge for the general public.

Built in 1876 under the supervision of Ernst Ziller, the Town Hall of Ermoupolis on Miaouli square is one of the largest and most impressive Town Halls in all of Greece totally made in marble. Other noteworthy elements of the Town Hall are the hanging ladder at the entrance, the bust of D. Bafiadakis, the boardroom and the portraits of former mayors. The Town Hall houses the courts, the land registry, the archaeological museum and various other public bodies and municipal services which are open to the public from Monday to Friday from 8:00 hrs to 15:00 hrs. If you have some time, do not forget to go inside and take a walk along.

Ermoupolis City Hall - A Cycladic Masterpiece The Ermoupolis City Hall is not just a municipal building; it is the breathtaking architectural crown jewel of Syros and one of the most magnificent neoclassical structures in all of Greece. Standing proudly at the head of Miaouli Square, it dominates the cityscape and leaves an indelible impression on every visitor. Architectural Grandeur, Designed by the famous German architect Ernst Ziller, the City Hall is a testament to the prosperity and importance of Ermoupolis in the 19th century. Its sheer size and imposing facade, constructed with marble from Mount Penteli (the same marble used for the Parthenon), command immediate attention. The massive staircase leading up to the main entrance is iconic and provides a perfect photo opportunity. The combination of its Renaissance-inspired elements and the sheer scale makes it feel more like a palace than a local government office. A Vibrant Heart, The building perfectly frames Miaouli Square, one of the most beautiful squares in Greece. Even if you don't go inside, simply admiring the building from the square and soaking in the atmosphere is a highlight of any trip to Syros. The square is the vibrant social heart of the town, constantly buzzing with life, cafés, and cultural events. Must-See Interior, While the exterior is stunning, many reviews encourage visitors to step inside and explore the opulent interior. Highlights include the main staircase, the beautifully preserved council chambers, and the sense of history that permeates the halls. It is a striking representation of the neoclassical period and showcases the island's rich heritage. Visiting Ermoupolis City Hall is essential for anyone exploring Syros. It is a spectacular piece of architecture that embodies the dignity and history of this beautiful island capital.

A very beautiful building designed by Tsiller. It is one of the main landmarks of Ermoupolis, located in the main square of the town. This should be the first place to visit if you find yourselves in Syros, even for a couple of hours. 5 stars, highly recommended!

The Syros Town Hall is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive and beautiful Town Halls in all of Greece, dominating the magnificent Miaouli Square. Designed by the legendary German architect Ernst Ziller, its construction began in 1876 and was completed around 1891-1898, symbolizing the immense wealth and cultural peak of Ermoupoli in the 19th century. ​The neoclassical design is stunning, blending Tuscan, Ionic, and Corinthian styles across its facade. However, the interior is where the architectural genius truly shines. The building features two atria, but the main focal point is the monumental internal staircase. This majestic suspended staircase is an engineering marvel, and looking up, you see it's covered by a beautiful glass roof (skylight), which floods the entire central hall with natural light. It's a truly brilliant design feature. The building also houses the Archaeological Museum of Syros in its ground floor. A true gem and a symbol of an era!

A historic building worth seeing

Nestled in the picturesque village of Pyrgos on the Cycladic island of Tinos, the Museum of Marble Crafts is an unexpected cultural treasure that offers a deep dive into one of Greece’s most celebrated artistic traditions: marble carving. Far from a typical museum experience, this place is a living homage to the craft that shaped both the island and significant parts of Greek architectural and artistic heritage. The museum, operated by the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation, beautifully blends history, artistry, and hands-on education. It’s not just about looking at marble statues—though there are many fine examples—but about understanding the entire journey of marble: from the rugged quarries to the sculptor’s studio. The museum structure itself, designed to harmonize with the local architecture, is an ode to simplicity and elegance—just like the art it honors. Large windows open out to the landscape, where you can imagine ancient craftsmen at work in the nearby quarries. Whether you’re a lover of history, art, or just curious about how something as cold and hard as marble can become so full of life, the Museum of Marble Crafts is a real gem—a must-see on any visit to Tinos.

This was a really nice museum and doesn’t take long to view everything. I felt it was worth it and met this amazing lady who Pkays the lyre.

Very nice exhibition and very interesting. The location is very atmospheric. It was really worthy the visit passing by the village of Pyrgos. You can understand the history of the place and admire the beauty of sculpturing the marbles. I totally recommend to pay a visite passing by in order to admire the man’s craftsman’s.

So interesting with excellent videos and curation. Great to learn about the crafting of marble through the different phases of Greece’s history. After the museum be sure to explore the gorgeous town (3 minute walk away)

Great small museum with lots of detail and explanation of the marble industry and its history in Greece. Good descriptions in Greek and English. Worth the 4 euros ticket and 45 minutes or so to visit.

A lovely stop when exploring the island. Fun and informative for all ages

Such a nice museum. If you like marble and culture, you need to check this out. It’s a pretty small museum and to walk around will take you around 20-30 minutes maximum.

My mother waited 50 years to come here. Today we made her dream come true. An amazing place for Greek Orthodox Christians to visit once in their lifetimes. We saw a number of pilgrims entering the church on their knees - we were absolutely gobsmacked to realise they started this from the port nearly a kilometre away! Visiting again tomorrow.

Attracting thousands and thousands of people every year this church has been standing as the beacon of religion for many years among the believers. Truly an exceptional feeling visiting it, one that you definitely should not miss upon visiting the island. Many believers can be seen crossing the road on their knees moving uphill towards the church, an act of courage and importance among many, and one we should all admire!

A place that leaves a deep impression. The church is beautiful inside and out, with countless incense burners hanging from the ceiling that create a truly unique atmosphere. Even more moving is seeing the pilgrims making their way up from the port to the sanctuary on their knees, a powerful sign of devotion.

Second time in this church. The first time was 1 year ago when it had a big celebration with a lot of people lining up to get into the church, so I decided to skip. This time, on a normal Saturday afternoon, there was no line and quite quiet. Strolled around and just admired its peacefulness.

Amazing place and inspiring experience whether you are religious or not, this place and the effect it leaves on the faithful is both emotional and touching. Definitely a must-see while in Tinos.

This church is peaceful and absolutely wonderful. People are truly welcoming, the Holy icon is well presented . A nice place to be, to stay, to pray .

Lovely authentic pilgrimage church, complete with pilgrims. So Greek Orthodox. Really worth seeing.

I usually search a lot of a place before stay, and that time I got it right. Such a beautiful place to stay, honest and surprising. The owner is a very nice person, the staff as well good folks. Paradiso is closer to Marcello's beach , which seems a very nice beach, the family type, no music at all (at least during mid Sept period) and there's sunbeds from the hotel to stay at the beach, which is nice. Quiet and calm place to stay with your family/couple, good breakfast, nice balcony, free cover parking. Owner gently gave us a upgrade room when we arrived, a lot of tips from places to go, like restaurant and beaches (which we did love though), sunset views and so forth.. I wish we could have more time to spend here, 4 days seems a short trip. Maybe we can go back in the future to remind this nice time we just had.

Not only a great hotel, but George is an amazing host. The hotel is clean, organized and well located. George assisted us with a car rental, and gave great tips about restaurants and places to visit. Just to make it clear, all the bad reviews I saw here are from the beach club located in front of the hotel.

We stayed in the family suite and it was perfect for our family of 5. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well kept and have a spacious area for eating outdoors or playing games. The hotel has a beautiful view of the sea with a sandy beach and bar within walking distance from the hotel. The owner George was kind and helpful. He was a great host helping us determine places to explore and set us up with a great car service! We will be back next time we’re in Greece!

Paradiso mean George - Nektaria - Phillip and MELINA!!!! Excellent stay in a cozy hotel with a great view. We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. Very clean rooms and supper close to beach Marcello. Would definitely stay at this hotel again! Thank you super team!

To save you from a long (albeit - worth it) read, I’ll summarize: any future visits to Greece will be to Paros, staying at Paradiso Boutique Hotel. It was by far one of the best experiences we’ve had, from location to hospitality. 10/10. We had the most incredible stay, with the only downside being we wish we could’ve stayed longer. My husband and I arrived in Paros on a Sunday afternoon. Once the ferry dropped us off at the main port, we easily transferred to a small ferry (basically a water taxi) which transferred us to Marcello beach within 10 minutes. Upon arrival, we walked no more than 8 minutes (along the beach) to Paradiso Boutique Hotel (incredibly accessible!) Upon arrival, we were greeted so warmly, shown to our room, shown where breakfast would be, and were told if we needed anything at all, not to hesitate to ask. Owners, George and Filip, quickly started to feel like life-long friends. Both Monday and Tuesday we had dinner reservations in different towns within Paros. Filip was able to offer discounted transportation on both days (a huge win on any of the Greek Islands) and offered informative and meaningful conversations along the way. On Wednesday, due to strong winds, the boat tour we had scheduled was cancelled. We wound up relaxing at Cabana beach club that day, where we mentioned to Filip we’d love if he could join us. To our pleasant surprise, he arrived with George and friends later in the afternoon where they joined us for drinks, dancing, and a great time. They introduced us to other friends and family, and we soon realized we were welcomed as a part of their local community. Overall, we are lucky enough to have seen this beautiful island and meet friends that we hope to keep for years to come. It is clear this is not a business, but a passion and love for George and Filips community.

What a wonderful stay at this hotel. George, Phillipe and the entire staff made us feel so welcome. They had great tips on places to go and eat. Helped us with our car rental and mapped out all the places we should see. We loved the location and the beach was perfect. The hotel os super clean and the breakfast is great.The beach bar restaurant in front is great if your in the mood for some music and chair and umbrella rentals are possible , a couple minutes further down are more chair and umbrella rental and quiet atmosphere and also cheaper.There is also places you can just lay on the beach for free. I notice some reviews on the hotel are about the beach bar restaurant and to be clear they have nothing to do with the hotel. The only thing they have in common is beach access which is fantastic and so close so I’m not sure why they would give the hotel a bad review. The hotel also has its own parking lot so no need to try and use the one for the beach bar. We hope to come back and stay again!

My Wife and I booked a room for our stay in Paros, everything was amazing. From beginning to end we felt like special guests here because of the care of George and his staff. George went above and beyond, he made sure to procure a scooter that was not only safe but brand new, something he does for all his guests. We highly recommended to rent a scooter through George. Our experience was unforgettable and, we highly recommend staying at the Paradiso if you want a great location with amazing views and only a short ride to Paraikos. Amazing stay, thank you George and team.

The Church of 100 Doors (Panagia Ekatontapiliani) is an absolute must-see when visiting Paros. It’s a stunning and historic site with a calm and spiritual atmosphere that immediately makes you slow down and take it all in. The architecture is beautiful, and it’s fascinating to wander around and discover the different chapels and details within the complex. As someone who isn’t religious, I still found it truly fascinating to see how much significance the locals give to the church and its traditions. Watching the deep respect and devotion was in itself a unique experience. Even if you’re not particularly religious, the sense of history and tranquility makes it worth a visit. This said however, it is not something far of special from other churches.

Absolutely beautiful. Give yourself some time if you can. We only had about 30 minutes while we were waiting for the ferry and I SO wish I’d had more time to just sit and be there for a little while. Gorgeously maintained, absolute gem.

The church has an excellent display of icons and frescoes. Admission to the museum also allows the into the second level of the church and the babistery which are well worth the 3€ charge.

Walking distance form the port One of the oldest churches Beautiful place, croissing a cloister before accessing it Even if you have few minutes before catching a ferry… it a not missed place

Beautiful church to visit. They have shawls by the church entrance to cover bare shoulders, out of respect. The marble carvings and artistry all around are wonderful. I'd recommend learning a bit about it's history with a quick search beforehand to make the visit even more meaningful.

Only 3 Euro gives you access to the museum and additional areas of the cathedral. Don't forget to look up as you wander or you will miss many frescoes.

A wonderful church with an ancient history. Well worth the time to visit along with the museum.
