Greece -- Paros and Naxos

Paros

I visited Paros on my first trip to Greece, and was new at backpacking. I stayed on Paros for 3 days, but can't recall anything spectacular about the island. I do recall that I thought it would be a great idea to rent a bicycle and tour around the island. Bad choice. The main road around the island is about 3 km inland and up hill. Visiting little seaside towns was great, but cycling back up to the main road sucked. By noon I had returned the bike and rented a scooter. Way better way to see the island!

Naxos

Naxos has some interestings sites, such as the Temple of Apollo, the huge Kouros statues near the village of Apollonas and some nice beaches. However, much like Paros, the island didn't really do it for me. Again, a scooter is a great way to get around the island.
