Paroikia Town is on the north west coast of Paros island and is extremely pretty and steeped in history. It's home to the Katapoliani 'the church of the hundred doors', a beautiful Greek Orthodox building containing three churches in one and well worth a visit. The town dates back to the 13th century and the old quarter or 'Kastro' is a maze of intricate little alleyways and home to some great boutique shops and Restaurants. We even found a small catholic church and were able to attend Sunday mass the first time since Singapore over a year ago!
We've been here two days now and have enjoyed idling away the days wandering the streets window shopping and people watching. There are two small supermarkets both owned by the same company where we've been able to reprovision with all the basics...more expensive than Turkey but reasonable enough! Today we are going to make the most of what little wind we have and try to sail the 22 miles to Ormos Vathi on Sifnos Island.
