Paros & Naxos
Facing each other across a narrow Cyclades channel, Paros and Naxos are Greece's meltemi heartland. The channel acts as a venturi that accelerates the summer northerlies, serving Pounda on Paros and Mikri Vigla on Naxos with nuking side-shore wind day after day in July and August. Flat-to-choppy turquoise water, sandy launches, a big international school scene and classic whitewashed-island life ashore round out the package.
