Paros: Best kiteboarding and windsurfing
The beaches of Pounda, Chrissi Akti and Santa Maria manifest the strongest winds possible in the area at large and constitute a pole of attraction for professional but also bold beginners at kitesurfing and surfing.

Koufonissia : Best Robinson Crusoe destination
Two small and remote islands - Ano and Kato Koufonissi - of wild, natural beauty bound to bring out the Robinson Crusoe you have been well hiding inside you. Walk along its paths -as cars are prohibited- and rent a boat that will take you to magical places. Explore at ease.
Folegandros : Best couples getaway
Romanticism at its most extreme manifestation and ideal circumstances for love confessions and oaths of eternal love. To the advantage of travellers, is the fact that the island is fairly far from Piraeus in Athens and therefore does not attract the crowds.
