G	Guillaume Sauzay on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not easy climb just for a cave. North path is easier
M	Matthaios Kolomvrezos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The place is very very hard to access through land. The path down to the cave is treacherous and needs good physic to climb down and back up again. It is a small adventure in its own. Recommended for adventurers, definitely not recommended for families. The coast down below has great view of the agean sea and the waters are clean and pure. With a boat it must be incredibly easier to reach.
T	Thomas Kjørvel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place but really difficult to get to. Not sure if I accessed via a more difficult path as it had a lot of exposure. The cave is not big but the location is amazing with a wonderful view. You will need good shoes or boots as there is a lot of climbing involved and also some slippery passages. Also only come when the there's no wind.
H	Henk Jan Oosterhuis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing views from the clifftop, but with the high winds coming from the north, the waves were far too big to reach the cave itself this time. Really worth a visit in calmer weather.
M	M. Herrn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The cave of archilochus is the most important cave on Paros and is situated near Agios Fokas Beach. It was named after the great lyric poet Archilochus. Legend has it that he took refuge in the isolation provided by the cave to find the inspiration for his poetry. The site is imposing, particularly when the sea is rough and waves pour into the opening. The cave is just ten minutes away from Parikia and at sunset visitors are treated the colors of the rainbow as the sun sinks below the horizon and the cave falls into darkness. Difficult to access but worth the effort.
V	Ves Kachev on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hard ... very hard to get to but worth it. The views from the top of the cliff are stunning. Best time to go is at sunset. Even if you can’t hike up and down the cliff / I don’t recommend to anyone who is not experienced or alone to try - it is very dangerous. / only the views from the top are rewarding enough.
S	Solène Trichet on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The view is obviously really beautiful but I put 3 stars because it was really really hard to find and also very dangerous. We almost gave up 2 or 3 times. If I were to chose again whether to go or not, I would not go because of the dangerousness and I would limit myself to watching the pictures. If you still want to go, you will have to go down the cliff through a narrow and steep path.
C	Clare Palmer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Super cool once you get to the cave but is definitely a treacherous hike. No set out pathway at all, and honestly pretty dangerous at times. Definitely not for beginners and be weary it may take a while! Photos turned out well though!
