You have to make a bit of an 成果／努力 to reach the small, Cycladic island of Paros.

But it’s 価値（がある） it if you’re keen on 罰金 beaches, blue-ドームd churches and ports where waterfront tavernas serve charcoal-取調べ／厳しく尋問するd fish and spanakopita (spinach pie).

My Greek friend Theo and I arrived after a three-hour voyage by high-速度(を上げる）フェリー（で運ぶ） from Piraeus.

You can also get there 飛行機で行くing 経由で Athens or go to big sister Mykonos and take a 45-minute フェリー（で運ぶ） ride.

While that larger island is 井戸／弁護士席-known for its hedonism, sunsets and 巡航する ship hordes, Paros is just 13 miles long and a favourite with Greek holidaymakers.

We stayed in Naoussa, once a 静かな fishermen’s village but now the island’s tourist 中心.

Jewellery shops and 着せる／賦与するs boutiques line the winding streets while the 廃虚s of a 15th-century Venetian 城 stretch into the bewitching Aegean.

In the 1970s, Paros was a party 目的地 ― until 公式の／役人s 簡潔にの近くにd the island to foreign tourists.

Now it is 傾向ing again after 存在 a 場所 in the?Netflix 小型の-series One Day. Airbnb?saw a 32 per cent spike in searches by UK travellers.

New 郊外住宅s are ‘popping up like mushrooms’, as one islander put it, along with smartly designed 高級な h otels such as the 38-room Avant 損なう on Piperi Beach.

With its 私的な急落（する），激減（する） pools, thermal baths-主題d spa and a restaurant overseen by 星／主役にする chef Nobu Matsuhisa, it’s unashamedly 目的（とする）d at 豊富な sun-探検者s.

So, is Paros the new Mykonos? Not yet, but with an international airport 予定 to open next year, it 明確に will be.

Charlie says that Paros 'may just be a new 的 for the TikTok 旅団'. Above, the island's Kolymbithres Beach

We rented a car to 調査する. In Parikia, the small but 満足させるing Archaeology Museum 申し込む／申し出d enchanting artworks created over 2,000 years ago.

We learned how in classical times Parian marble was prized for its translucence, 存在 used in sculptures such as the Venus de Milo. It also adorns Napoleon Bonaparte� �s tomb in Paris.

Another engaging stop was the Valley Of バタフライs, a forested nature reserve where in summer thousands of Jersey tiger moths flock with vivid red underwings that are only 明らかにする／漏らすd when in flight.

One morning, we took the seven-minute, ?1.50 (￡1.30 / $1.60) フェリー（で運ぶ） west to Antiparos, which is smaller and more 伝統的な than its go-ahead 隣人.

支払う／賃金ing a visit to its Historical And Folklore Museum, we were 申し込む／申し出d olives and a glass of 地元の Tsipouro, a potent ouzo-like spirit.?

Yet even here, there was a feeling that things were on the move.?

'You know Tom Hanks has a house on Antiparos?’ said a waiter.

Then, a little later, a shop owner couldn’t help 誇るing how ‘the Obamas were here last week’.

支援する on Paros, Theo and I drove up into the mountains to Lefkes.

As the sun 始める，決める, we sat in the Taverna Agnadio savouring its panoramic 見解（をとる） of white churches and windmills as luscious plates of tzatziki and honey-coated fried feta landed on the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する.

It’s fair to say that Paros is making its presence felt. It’s been 征服する／打ち勝つd by the Byzantines and Ottomans ― and may just be a new 的 for the TikTok 旅団. All the more 推論する／理由 to go now.
