After our stay in
Naxos it was time to move on to Paros, which is just a short ride by ferry. My photo instincts were starting to wake up a little bit and I captured a few shots leaving the port of Naxos.
That's the Portara off in the distance.
Ferry seats were pretty comfy. Also nice that this particular boat was not exactly packed.
Solid concession options. Not super necessary given it is a 30-45 minute ride. Don't think I even bothered with a coffee. But for those on for the longer ride continuing to subsequent islands, very nice to have it at your disposal.
When it's time to disembark you receive a cheery salute. Thanks for the ride, cap'n.
Car picked us up at the port in Parikia and brought us to our hotel for the next couple of nights. We stayed at the
Kalypso. I did not grab any pictures of the entrance, but you can get an idea of it via the street view below.
I did grab some shots of the entry area / 'lobby' for lack of a better word. Rustic casual, but nice.
Room I got was pretty austere, but fine. Odd choice of lavender as the accent color. Like a deliberate departure of everywhere else in the islands that feature some combination of white, blue, and earth tones. Not sure the lavender really works. But the view was nice.
Kalypso was maybe 8-10 minutes walking from the center of Naoussa, so I went for a little walkabout to get my bearings. Snapped a few pics. Nice holiday apartments, curated alleyways oozing the boutique and taverna vibes. Positive first impression.
