Mists from Morning's Sky

Mists from Morning's Sky: Paros

Whitewashed walls, neutral tones, wicker furniture, and touches of cool-toned blue. This villa is a Greek summer dream. It's so characteristically Grecian, particularly for the island of Paros. The Cycladic architecture is instantly reminiscent of a hazy summer. Spend yours here, and you're bound to have an incredible one.

Everywhere you turn in this home, you're greeted with wide-spanning views of the Aegean Sea and rolling mountains. Perfectly fit for a group of friends or a small family, this villa is effortlessly traditional and rustic. However, it's not short of its home comforts, with Smart TVs in every room, luxuriously soft beds, soothing air conditioning, and a hot tub right on your doorstep. Make sure to use the shared pool, which will be a welcome respite from the blazing Greek sun. Afternoons are best spent by the beach when the lowering sun shines beautifully on the calm sea. Paralia Agia Irini is particularly lovely, its tranquillity matches that of the villa. Palm trees line this small beach, a hidden treasure indeed. The beach bar is within easy reach, and a nice cold Mythos goes down exceptionally well.

Head to Parikia for a night on the town. It's just a twelve-minute drive and your gateway to the very best of Paros living. Cobbled streets are lined with Cycladic whitewashed houses, blue shuttered windows, fuschia coloured flowers, and the sound of the sea is never too far away. Tuck in to delicious Greek cuisine - think moussaka, souvlaki, dolmades, and so much more. When you get back home, continue the good times and crack open a bottle of local wine to be enjoyed in the hot tub, as you watch the stars twinkle above you.
