When planning our Greece trip, it was rather difficult to choose which islands to visit. Going to Santorini was a no-brainer, but I wanted to spend time on one other island, somewhere that’s less touristy than Santorini. After doing some research and browsing through tons of photos, I decided on Paros and its adjacent Antiparos, and what a good decision this was. These islands, located in central Aegean Sea about 3 hours by ferry from Athens, are quaint and quiet even in July. Perfect for a few days of doing nothing, and a very pleasant contrast from the tourist-packed Santorini.
