Respect for life with no exceptions, efficiency and organization, a quiet presence on the island, and a love for nature. On the occasion of the 26th anniversary of Alkyoni Wildlife Care & Protection Association’s establishment in Paros, we asked its president, Marios Fournaris, to answer our questions.
Fifty years prior to the outbreak of the Greek revolution, Paros wrote a very important page in the history of its relations with the Russian superpower. In 2021, we commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution, but we also celebrate the Year of Greek-Russian History, which brings forth the historical encounters between the two peoples over the course of time.
In 2008, a painting exhibition entitled “Dutch Artists on Paros” was held at the Aegean Center for the Fine Arts, in Parikia. Out of the five artists who participated in the exhibition, the most Parian one was definitely Wim Drion, not just because his work is inspired by the Parian landscape –both natural and man-made, not only because the Aegean light seeps right through it, but also because Wim Drion, along with his wife Eva are, I feel, much more deeply integrated into the Parian society and cultural life than the rest of the foreign artists living here.
There were permanent residents in Paros and Antiparos before the tourist boom. But, since these islands became more accessible to visitors (by ferry, private boat or plane), the demand for residential property has been rising at a rapid rate.
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution, we are happy to present you national costumes of that time with an emphasis on the Aegean region. The costumes come from the collection of “Naoussa, Paros” Music and Dance Ensemble, which has been active since 1988 in Naoussa and participated in a number of events in Greece and abroad aiming to maintain and spread the island’s authentic music and dance tradition.
She was called Magdalene and was born in Trieste in 1796. Her virtues, fame and beauty, coupled with her refined manners and European style, and, more importantly, her fearless soul inspired the sensitive youth of Enlightened Europe. A fascinating, romantic, selfless woman, a feminist before the emergence of feminism, a real Greek woman who made history and who gave away profuse love only to receive betrayal in every possible way.
The Yin Yang Concept goes far beyond a daily sailing trip. Inspired by balance in life and enhanced by the unique classic boat itself, we take a chance to bring you closer to a perception of peace and balance that becomes more essential albeit rare to be found now days. Let us introduce you to the iconic landscape of Paros and nearby Islands, its magnificent coast lines decorated by numerous islets spread over the blue sea, crystal waters and a pristine underwater world which is drenched under the Aegean Sun light!
