It didn’t take long to walk round to the other beach, and boy was it worth it! Piso Aliki is gorgeous: The wonderful Piso Aliki beach on the south coast of Paros Aliki beachĪlthough it wasn’t very busy first thing in the morning, I decided it didn’t look that appealing, but I had noticed on Google Maps that there’s a larger beach past the harbour to the south, Piso Aliki. When we got off the bus in Aliki, we saw that the main beach was pretty small: a triangle of sand nestled in the corner of two roads with a few cafes and tavernas nearby. Not a very healthy breakfast, but it gave us some energy to start the day. The bakery sells all kinds of sweet and savoury options and is quite reasonably priced, so we shared a plain croissant and pain au chocolate and I had a latte. Instead, we kept walking and found Ragoussis bakery just a short walk away. Since we wanted to take an 8:40 bus it was no good hanging around. Unfortunately, when we got there just after 8 it wasn’t open and the sign on the door suggested it wouldn’t be opening until 9:15 – unusually late for a Greek cafe, I thought. There is a direct bus (sometimes it stops at the airport, but it’s mostly direct) so it’s actually quicker to get here from Parikia than it was to get to Logaras and Punda yesterday, even though they appear closer on the map.īefore setting off, I suggested to Caroline that we have breakfast at Symposium as I had enjoyed it so much yesterday. We planned to continue our exploration of Paros today with a visit to Aliki beach, located on the south coast of the island.

Skiadas Museum of Cycladic Folklore acquaints visitors with the history and traditions of Paros and the Aegean. The village is ideally situated for nearby excursions to beaches, such as the four small coves of Faragas with calm waters, which are preferred by those seeking a quieter and less crowded location for a swim. There are also café-bars, sports fields and a children's play ground for families. The taverns lining the pier where fishing boats and recreational vessels moor, offer good food (fish plays a starring role on the menus). It is a picturesque fishing village that became a tourist resort because of the natural shelter it offers from winds, and Piso Aliki, the beautiful, long beach with small white pebbles and sea pines. Aliki took its name from the salt marshes near the village and is the ideal destination for family holidays. ![]()
