Paras Paros was good value for the relatively small cost we paid. The hotels taxi service almost doubled the cost, but it was still very good price for our short layover. We chose Paras Paros originally because we wanted to visit the shark rescue (to swim with sharks!), which is just some 5 minutes away from the hotel by foot. Also quite near is the turtle conservation. Otherwise the area is depressing.. this might be a good place to stay for people who are into water sports, but dunno more about that.
