Day 7 Athen nach Paros

Mit der Fähre geht es nach Paros, eine Insel voller malerischer Dörfer inmitten von grandioser Natur und mit herrlichem Blick aufs Mittelmeer. Ein Orientierungs-Spaziergang durch die Hafenstadt Paroikla mit ihren würfelförmigen weißen Häusern führt dich vorbei an Kirchen, der venezianischen Burg am Hügel und dem Archäologischen Museum.

Danach geht es weiter in den Badeort Naousa und zum Strand Kolymbithres mit dem klarsten Wasser und den coolsten Felsformationen, die du dir zum Sonnenbaden nur wünschen kannst. Den Rest des Tages kannst du auf eigene Faust weiter erkunden, über den Strand spazieren, dir was zu essen holen und diese paradiesische griechische Insel ohne Menschenmassen genießen

Day 9 Paros nach Ios

Heute geht es mit der Fähre weiter zur nächsten Insel. Nach der Ankunft auf Ios gibt es einen Orientierungs-Spaziergang mit dem CEO durch die Chora, den größten und einzigen richtigen Ort auf Ios.
