PAROS VILLAGE SERIES: SEASIDE BLISS IN ALIKI

Paros never fails to charm its visitors whether they opt to visit the island’s most bustling destination or choose more laid-back options. With a plethora of picturesque villages and quaint neighbourhoods to stroll through and enjoy throughout the year, Paros is always a good idea. 

The small village of Aliki effortlessly stands out as a must-see destination during any visit. Located 13 km south of the port of Parikia, Aliki is peaceful and warm, as it retains its traditional allure and remains true to the island’s character. The region was formerly known for its salt production, with the village taking its name from the area’s salt mines. 

The perfect go-to for foodies who cherish gastronomic explorations and appreciate the freshness of both land and sea, Aliki promises to regale its visitors with fresh fish, delicious meze and delicacies made with the purest ingredients. Honouring the island’s customs and signature tastes, each inviting tavern offers guests unforgettable tastes and introduces them to brand-new favourites – small grilled fish, freshly-caught octopus and the island’s traditional “souma” drink, are sure to make an appearance on the table. 

But there’s much more to Aliki! In the summer months, the village’s three beaches transform into the ultimate paradise for those in the mood for peace and quiet and families who enjoy laid-back holidays, while windsurfers will find their own slice of heaven here too. Anyone on the lookout for absolute privacy and total relaxation is sure to be enticed by the small nearby coves but there’s also something to enjoy for the more culturally inclined: the “Skorpios” folklore museum. Home to many interesting facets of the island’s history as well as handmade miniatures from times gone by, the small museum reflects Paros’ past to the present. 

Though it might not feel like it yet, summer is on its way and here at Summer Senses Luxury Resort we are already looking forward to welcoming our guests again in Spring.
