Kima Restaurant in Drios - Night 1 we walked along the coastal path to Kima. More were available if you asked, but that's just a pain The only complaint i had with the Poseidon of Paros, was they only put 2 Nespresso pods in the room each day. Golden Beach and Drios in walking distance, Piso Livadi and Marpissa a short taxi ride away and places further afield accessible by bus. I was worried it would be isolated being at the opposite end of the island from Naoussa and Parikia, but given the chance i wouldn't change it. The location was amazing, Golden Beach right in front of the hotel, with stunning views all around. Overall I was very, very happy with the choice of hotel. Stayed in the Grand Suite Sea View with 2 separate bedrooms. Arrived at Paros and made transfer to The Poseidon of Paros Hotel, arranged by the hotel. Plenty of space to spread out, drinks and food served to the table, whilst still being able to walk round the rest of the ship. We booked business class which turned out to be reasonable value. Ferry to Paros was the Blue Star Delos 07.25. It was a very easy walk straight to the ferry in the morning, but based on the temp issue I wouldn't recommend staying here. So instead of 6hrs sleep in a nice cool room, it's 6hrs of tossing & turning in a room which very gradually lowers from 29c to 24c. They tell me they are unable to set it lower than 24c (lies in my opinion). Phone reception and they control it from there. I am unable to lower the temperature or make any changes to the AC. Get to rooms and they are like ovens, temp on AC control unit shows 29c. Things didn't pan out the way we wanted though. Ended up booking Gallery residence 26, 8mins walk from the port. We were booked on the 07.00 Blue Star ferry to Paros, so the whole point of the hotel was to have something close to the port, with 2 bedrooms (family of 4) so we could grab 6hrs sleep. Transfer to Gallery Residence 26 Piraeus was arranged via for £51, which was cheaper than other quotes I was getting, so i was happy with this. Security and bagge reclaim was fairly quick and we were in our transfer to Piraeus by 23.00 Flew from EDI to Athens, arriving at 22.00 Sat 25/06. I received lots of good advice from people before heading on our first ever trip to Paros, so i thought I'd post a short trip review in case it helps anyone in the future.
