Looking back at the summer of 2019 - Paros - Greece

In the last week of July, we went to Greece for a little beach vacation together with Makayla. Knut had not been to Greece before, and I had only visited Athens (during winter), and not the islands, so we were both very excited to see the beaches and eat the delicious Greek food.

On Paros we rented an Airbnb-apartment in the village of Dryos. The apartment was typically Greek; white and blue, and with a beautiful view over the beach and ocean. The days were mainly spent on the beach, with a coffee freddo (sweet Greek iced coffee, perfect for a sweet tooth like me), and a dip in the water once in a while.

In the evenings we tried different restaurants in the area, and tasted some really great local food. The northernmost village Naousa was definitely my favorite on Paros. Such a charming town, with white houses, narrow streets, and small design shops. Even though there were a lot of tourists, I didn't think that stood in the way of getting a good experience in the town. They were obviously used to having a lot of people visiting in July, and made the best out of it.

and blue colors together with the pink flowers. 
Knut made a new friend.

Makayla picked fruits from a random garden on Antiparos.

It was a great adventure together with our favorite Texan, and we can't wait to see you again and explore more random places in the world with you! ♥
