We,Michael and Karin Shepherd, live on the delightful isle of Paros, Greece--the all around island with something for everyone.  We would like to invite you to share our piece of paradise through the pictures and visitor information throughout this web site.  We also welcome you to consider our convenient and spacious accommodations for your bargain holidays.

We offer cozy, friendly atmosphere and a wealth of information to help you enjoy your idyllic Greek island holiday.  Our specialty is hospitality.

ACCOMMODATIONS

For description and photos of our facilities see the Rates Page.

Update:  We now have villas near the beach!

We also have pages that give information and links for

            Paros activities and facilities - including discounts on snorkeling, diving and more!

            Other Cyclades islands, Greece, and the World Beyond

Featured Activity:  Many people cringe at the word "museum" but there is one Greek island experience that should not be missed.  You can tour the highlights of all the Cycladic islands and more in just few minutes by visiting the home and garden of Benetos Skiadas, a Parian who is an extraordinary artisan.  His historical recreations are awe inspiring.  See photos and details at his family website 

            Alternative local accommodations 

                        We have many friends in hospitality here, including villas, apartments, full service hotels, timeshares, pensions.  E-mail us your needs and desires for lodging and we will match you with what is available--especially in the delightful village of Aliki.

            Argus Car Hire has a lowest price guarantee for advance rental  --  or wait until your arrival and negotiate face to face for a possibly better deal, if you are good at bargaining.  Moped rental is a fun part of an island holiday; that is best done after arrival in any case.

For more about us and our background see the Story Page.  There are numerous anecdotes about island life.  It also includes archives of our newsletter that relates our life as expats in a friendly, casual style.  For up-to-date information check out our Paros Paradise blog.  Anyone considering visiting Paros or relocating to Greece should find it interesting.  Everyone is welcome to subscribe by sending an email with Subscribe in the subject.  Our photo gallery is included here as well.
