Planning and research, the lack of it, finds us in an idyllic village on Paros over Greek Orthodox Easter weekend. As we walked, observed a lot of preparations in restaurants and houses and thought it was for the summer season. We asked our waiter at dinner last night and he told us that they are for Easter. Immediately i had some concerns because we hadn’t booked our ferry to Athens on Monday!! Our journey to Greece was long and we managed to bookend each leg with a beer. Etihad isn’t the best airline I’ve flown and the seat cushions became really uncomfortable after a few hours fourteen hour flight forced us to get up and walk around. During our layover in Athens Airport, Manny craving something fresh bought a Greek Salad, after 24 hours of airline stodge was wonderful to taste real Greek feta and olives. With time to fill wait for the plane to Paros we found an exhibition of the artefacts found during the construction of the airport. Away from the tourist traps is what we sought, Piso Livadi and Logaras beach are small, quiet and peaceful on the opposite side of the island to Parikira the port and main entry to Paros. Our accommodation has seen better days but it’s only a few steps down to a lovely beach.
