Aliki paros6/15/2023 ![]() It is rocky, with a line of small trees for shade and almost no people. The other beach, called Piso Aliki, is 500 meters from the village, on the way to Farangas beach. There is one taverna here, placing its tables straight on the shore. About five hundred permanent inhabitants live in Aliki. At the harbor are several restaurants and cafes. It is situated in a bay, with a small fishing port and a beach. The one in the west end of the village is a strip of coarse sand and large pebbles, both on the shore and in the water. Aliki is a picturesque village in the southwest of the Greek island of Paros, located at 13 kilometers (8 mi) from Parikia. The other two beaches are at the two ends of Aliki. Parikia is the capital and main port of Paros on the northwest coast, only 15 minutes by car to airport and 30 minutes by bus to Naoussa. From the harbor daily boat trips are organized, touring around the islets and the seashore of the area. You can have a meal surrounded by the sea and the boats, with view of the rocky islets Tigani and Panteronisi. Two traditional tavernas at the seafront place their tables directly on a small stone pier in the middle of the harbor. Around the beach there is a mini market, a car rental office and a small harbor for fishing boats. In the summer there are sunbeds and parasols provided by a few beach cafes. The main one, which is in the center is narrow, with fine and very soft sand. Aliki is located at the southern part of Paros and it took its name from the salt-marsh (in greek: aliki) that is located at the edge of the village. It is almost merged with the neighboring settlement of Angeria.Īliki has three beaches. It is a beautiful fishermen village with a picturesque port, taverns and the beach Piso Aliki with white pebbles and salt cedars that spread down to the sea. It is a beautiful fishermen village with a picturesque port, taverns and the beach Piso Aliki with white pebbles and salt cedars that spread down to the sea. It has been developing as a resort in the last years and the number of hotels and rooms to rent in the area is constantly increasing. He might have been the owner's son himself (who knows and who cares?), but in my opinion, in a decent place, for this incredible rudeness he would have been jobless right from the next minute.Aliki is a small village on the south, less populated coast of Paros. When the sun went down, the waiter/janitor/whatever else started to arrange and clean the sunbeds and suggested me - and, as I overheard, to a few other people near me - to get up and go home to take a nice shower and go to bed. Of course the price for the fresh fish is astronomically high and, as I read, they claim their fish is always bigger than it really is (and they probably think the same about their dicks, also). More of that, the waiters will annoyingly insist that you should order the fresh fish, caught just there, in the gulf (yeah, right!). In the taverna, the prices are high and the food is below average you can have on the island (read mediocre). There is also a sort of scam here: they say you can use the umbrella and the sunbeds for free, but you must purchase a credit of 30 Euros that you can then spend on food and drinks in the taverna. A lot means also a very crowded place, so if you want to use your rented sunbed, you have to be careful to not disturb the neighbor on the nearby sunbed which is almost stuck to yours. They "manage" a big chunk of the beach, on which they placed a lot of sunbeds and umbrellas. ![]() The taverna you need to pass through in order to descend from the main road to the beach used to be a quiet and picturesque place, where the visitor of the wonderful twin gulfs of Aliki could have a nice meal or a refreshment over viewing the beach and the sea below.Īs of this year, the place is totally changed, and not in a good way.
