Nisis Paros - Andiparos (Greece)

Paros is an island in the Aegean Sea.Nestled in the heart of the
Cyclades, the crossroads of ancient maritime trade routes linking mainland Greece to the Mediterranean, Paros is the perfect setting for sailing, diving and the study of marine ecology,marine archaeology, geology and anthropology.As long as one keeps sailing in easterly and westerly directions starting from Paros, there will never be a problem with weather for sailing or diving.In this way, one can sail from Paros to Serifos and Sifnos, to Antiparos, Despotiko and Strongilo as well as
Naxos and the pristine Koufonissia.The Aegean Diving College and the
Aegean Institute (non-profit) offer courses about the Aegean Sea based on Paros or from a sailyacht cruising in these waters.There are incredible underwater caves with stalactites and evidence of human activity 10,000 years ago, wrecks of historical and archaeological importance as well as fascinating volcanic formations.A few thousand years ago, most of the Cyclades were connected and formed an island the size of the Peloponnese.Then, starting about 18,000 years ago, the sea-level started rising and until today it has risen by about 130 meters! So with knowledge like this we sail and dive around these waters and discover new sites to explore and learn.For more information write to Peter Nicolaides: info@aegeaninstitute.org
