Benetos Skiadas, was a traditional artist from the Greek island, Paros.

He has depicted Cycladic history with large miniatures of ships and important buildings with unrivaled art and workmanship. Located just a few hundred meters outside Aliki. Definately worth a visit, great fun for children, young and old. 

Butterfly valley is located four kilometers to the north of Aliki. It is a biotope with a small source, which is covered by dense vegetation; cypresses, plane-trees, oleanders, carob trees and orchards. This area is ideal for the Tiger moth butterfly. The butterflies gather at this specific area in June and they "disappear" in August. This happens because in September the female butterflies search for bushy areas to lay their eggs and then, they die. The caterpillars come out of the eggs in October and they turn into butterflies in May. In June, the butterflies come again at the valley and they stay fixed and almost still on the trees till August, when they mate.

The caves are one of the most impressing caves you will ever see in your life. They are one of the deepest caves in Europe about 150 meters deep. Don't forget to bring a long sleeved shirt or sweater with you, it is chilly down there.

To go there  you can take the bus, from Aliki to Punta, then take the boat to Anti Paros and then another bus from where the boat arrives to the caves. Busses go regular, but not often.

You can also go with a car and take it on the small ferry (10 minutes from Paros to Anti Paros) and then go left to the caves. 

Its also nice to go for an evening to the main village of Anti-Paros. Nice bars, restaurants and a shopping street were no cars are allowed. In half an hour you can walk to the other side of the island / village where you can enjoy the sunset with a nice drink.

Shops are open mornings and evenings, high season also until late in the evening, but they are closed between 14:00 and 18:00.

The boat back to Paros goes until midnight, sometimes even later, depending on the time of the year.

Parikia is the capital of Paros and 12 km away from Aliki.

It's an experience never to forget, to stroll through the old backstreets of Parikia. Don't forget the church of the 100 doors, the  'Ekatontapiliani'.

Also nice to go for shopping; opening hours are 10:00 - 14:00 and 18:00 - 21:00, in high season shops stay open even longer, until about 23:00.

There is a bus from Aliki - Parikia, it takes about half an hour, price around 2 € . In high season busses go until about 23:30 but not very often. In low season the last buss is not so late. A taxi will cost about 20 - 25 €. A private van for max 8 people Aliki - Parikia is 50 €. One way.

Prices in general are higher then in Parikia, the Greekn yet set is coming here for summer. There is a beautiful old small port, don't miss it...... and an old pirates fort. You can have a nice cocktail or eat fresh fish there, just caught by the local fisherman.
