Paros is an island that has been known and loved by Greeks for years, and some of the best hotels in Paros have remained (just about) under the international tourism radar – until fairly recently. Now an increasingly popular place to visit with Greeks and non-Greeks alike, it seems the secret is out. Why the recent surge in popularity?
