At least three beautiful things come from the Greek island of Paros.
One is the famed Parian marble, pearly and translucent, from which great art and structures such as the statue of Nike (Winged Victory) of Samothrace and the roof tiles of the Parthenon were made.
Second, there’s the work of Archilochos, known as the first writer in recorded history to focus on internal thoughts and emotions rather than on grand epic tales.
And third, a four-footed work of art, a lovely senior canine by the name of Gina, struggles to survive a cold, windy winter on the waterfront of the main town, Parikia.
