FROM THE QUIETNESS OF PAROS TO THE EXCITEMENT OF MYKONOS
This itinerary goes through the following steps:
Day 1 - 3: Paros
Day 4 - 7: Mykonos
Day 8 : End of the trip
A typical holiday on the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea
This 8-day stay in the north of the Cyclades combines 3 nights in Paros and 4 nights in Mykonos. The two islands are very close to each other but offer you two contrasting views. Visit Mykonos for its myths and legends, nightlife and lazing on the beach. Visit Paros for its authenticity and a chance to immerse yourself in the daily life of this more traditional island. But both of them, of course, offer sun, sea and sand.
