Paros and Antiparos

We left Naxos, after returning from Santorini, boarded our Mooring 42.1 "Arethoussa" and left for Paros.

You have to enter the harbor past these little outposts, possibly a temple.

It wasn't busy, but there were some fishermen earning a living. It wasn't far from Naxos.

Then you enter the harbor, contact the harbormaster, and get assigned a slip for the night.

A nice evening meal on the waterfront was sufficient reward. And of course, some good wine.

The little island of Antiparos is close, and we rented scooters to tour Paros, as we had Naxos, Kea and Mikonos.

The Nunnery of Christos sto Dasos of St. Arsenios was compelling. For more information: http://www.fodors.com/world/europe/greece/the-cyclades/things-to-do/sights/reviews/christos-sto-dasos-187333

The women had to wear skirts, which the nuns loaned us, and Jane liked hers.

I'm not sure what Rose thought about hers.

And these folks look very cheerful with theirs.

This was a World War monument in one of the village squares.

Wish I could remember the name of this one.

If you are wondering what happened to all of those beautiful Greek Temples to their many gods, I can tell you that this Venetian Fortification was built of of one or more Greek Temples.

This postcard shows some of the bathing area on Paros. Your can see the town in the distance. Just click on any photo to enlarge it.
