There are 6,000 Greek islands and islets. They all have many things in common, but each one has its own unique attributes and characteristics across the Ionian and Aegean Sea. With that said, I was very excited to finally travel to Paros this past weekend 😊.

Do you suffer from food allergies or have a restrictive diet?

As far as my diet goes, I consider myself to be a bit of a flexitarian.

Syros is an island after my own heart with it’s relaxed charm, pastel colored building structures, performing arts, and little crowds.
