Jude's naming ceremony is going to be in Paros, Greece on Friday, June 26. We are hoping many of you will make it. We will be posting info on this site on hotels etc. for you.
Paros is beautiful, rugged, and unspoiled and is the home of our sister in-law Annie Eagleton - Theodorakis which is how we know it. We are going to be staying in a villa on Golden beach on the south east of the island. The naming ceremony will take place at the villa in the afternoon, followed by drinks and then off to a restaurant in Drios for some great food and dancing.
We will be in Paros from June 19-28 and are hoping that most of you will spend the week there and make a holiday of it.
Getting there: Fly to Athens and then take a train to the port of Piraeus (the train takes about an hour and a half and you have to change trains once). Then catch a ferry to Paros. No need to book a ferry in advance- they leave every few hours. For ferry times and prices go to http://www.parosweb.gr/ferries.shtml Ferries to Paros take about 3 hours.
There are also flights from Athens to Paros on Olympic Airlines three times per day: http://www.olympicairlines.com/
Where to stay: there are a number of nice hotels around Golden beach but our favorite is the Golden Beach Hotel: http://www.goldenbeach.gr/
They have a special offer for June:
440 € for 2 persons, sharing double room, for 7 nights with breakfast and one meal.
322 € for 2 persons, sharing double room, for 5 nights with breakfast and one meal.
616 € for 2 persons, sharing double room, for 7 nights with breakfast, one meal and 7 days car rental.
They are family run and you can negotiate different deals- mention that you are with the Annie Theodorakis party. The reason we like it so much is becuase it is simple, family run, great food, and right on the beach. It doesn't feel like being in a soul-less resort.
Right next door to the Golden Beach and just as nice is the Amaryllis Hotel: http://www.amaryllisparos.gr/
Their prices are about the same and they also have some special offers for June on their website.
Other hotels on Golden Beach and New Golden beach are:
http://www.acquamarina.gr/
http://www.poseidon-paros.gr/
http://www.parosphiloxenia.gr/
All of these hotels have special offers for June and are close to the villa where we are staying. I think we will make the villa and the golden beach and amaryllis hotels the main hang out spots.
Can't wait!!! Let us know if you have any specific questions and we will post any additional info on here as it comes along.
