Greek Peony

This home on Paros is a true escape from everyday life, where larger groups can come together and spend some quality time together. And, with a main villa and separate guest house, everyone has their own space to kick back and relax.

There are plenty of rustic touches, from the exposed stone walls inside to the traditional white-washed exterior. You'll love soaking up the sun on the patio and taking a dip in the swimming pool when the temperature rises. Afternoons are best spent on the terrace reading a good book, and it's also an excellent spot to enjoy cocktail hour with a sea view. And, in the evening, you can fire up the barbeque and serve up a delicious alfresco feast for the whole group.

Fans of the seaside will be delighted that there are several beaches just a ten-minute drive away – including Lolantonis and Chrissi Akti. Lie back on the golden sands, or swim in the turquoise blue waters, before refueling at one of the local tavernas. The town of Parikia is just twenty-five kilometers away, where you will find gorgeous cobbled streets, tiny churches, and the white and blue architecture that the Greek islands are famous for.
