There's charm, and then there's Paros. An island still unimpeded by the relentless push of commercialisation, Paros is quietly beautiful and historically significant. Small monasteries, stores and platinum-white homes line stony streets and the  between the shore and twinkling Aegean, a row of fishing boats gently bob in the breeze. This could be the best Greek island in terms of cultural preservation and a warm, welcoming people, but you'll have to come and visit to make your own mind up.
