Today, enjoy breakfast at the hotel before transfer to the port for short high-speed ferry ride to the island of Paros. Popular for its laidback, quiet and relaxing atmosphere, historically, Paros was known for its fine white marble, which gave rise to the term “Parian” to describe marble or china of similar qualities. Today, abandoned marble quarries and mines can be found on the island, but Paros is primarily known as a popular tourist spot. Overnight in Paros. (B)
