Even on the first day, driving across the island revealed the extent of rapid tourist development. There are vacation rentals, private villas with pools, luxury resorts, and apartments as far as the eye can see. Hundreds of new building permits are issued every year. The only area that investors have not yet ventured into is the mountainous heartland. With the airport&#8217;s expansion into an international hub (keyword: Paris\u2013Paros), the idyllic island life will finally be over, according to many locals at the regulars&#8217; table in the village tavern. We also had the feeling that Paros is not far from becoming the next Mykonos. Looking at the Santa Maria peninsula in the northeast, one could almost speak of a sellout. Personally, we didn&#8217;t warm up to Paros; somehow, we lacked a sense of the island&#8217;s identity, and many things seemed artificial. However, we have fond memories of our hosts, Gianni and his family. In their holiday home, we experienced the purest form of Greek hospitality.
