Editing Paros (section)

== Introduction ==
Paros is the Cycladic island that somehow manages to be both a proper Greek island — white-cube villages, ouzo with octopus, cats on every wall — and one of the Aegean's best kite setups. Sitting in the middle of the Cyclades chain, it catches the Meltemi head-on: a dry, northerly wind that barrels down the Aegean every summer with the reliability of a Swiss train. The main spot at Pounda is a shallow, flat-water playground on the island's southwest coast, facing directly across a narrow strait to Antiparos. Beyond kiting, Paros has actual things to do — Naoussa's nightlife is lively, the food is excellent, and the island is small enough to explore in a day on a scooter. If you want consistent Meltemi sessions and Greek island life without having to choose between the two, Paros delivers.
