Great Greek food on Paros

Greek food to me means lots of starters and almost no main courses. I don’t know why but the vegetarian options taste so amazing in this country. Maybe it’s the lack of chemical fertilizer (I wish) or just the abundance of sun all year long which elevates the produce from good to great. Also each island has its own specialty e.g. a Greek salad with bread called Dakos on Paros, a soft cheese on Ios or just some food combination that I haven’t tried anywhere else like the red beet yoghurt salad I had on Paxos which turns discovering Greece and its food to a full-blown adventure. So here we go with all the good stuff I ate on Paros and Antiparos. Yours, Pollybert
