Easily reached by ferry from its famous island neighbors and a quick 40-minute flight from Athens, the Greek island of Paros has been a relatively secret retreat for those in the know.

While I might be one of TPG's hotel reporters, I still consider myself an AvGeek with an appreciation for the flight service of yesteryear — even if I did come of age at a time when bags of mini pretzels were considered an inflight luxury.
