This vacation to Paros and Athens is designed to minimize air travel. The transition Athens-Paros, meaning from the port of Piraeus to the port of the island of Paros is planed by ferry and not by plane, eliminating the need for internal flights, thus reducing the tour's carbon footprint. During the whole tour our guests have the choice to taste vegetarian and vegan food options from the rich Greek cuisine that is full of such healthy dishes. Paros is famous for its Mediterranean cuisine, which is mainly based on the local fishes , the extra virgin olive oil, the vegetables and fruits of its fertile land.
