Sea Glass At Sunset Drios, Paros

Property Description

Up above the charming village of Drios, this Paros villa enjoys views over the sugar-cube houses all the way to islands floating on the sea. Spend days swinging in the hammock with a book, or plunging into the bean-shape pool with its infinity edge blending with the blue sky above. The long, covered terrace is home to stone-hewn sofas piled high with cushions and dining for the whole group – particularly atmospheric after sunset when the lanterns are lit and coastal villages sparkle to life before you.

Heading inside, the living room is a vision of Grecian rusticana, with an old whitestone fireplace at its centre. We particularly love the willow-pattern boat motif on the kitchen tiles that blends with nautical-blue cabinets, while the glassware and crockery feel like it’s been made from foraged sea-glass. If you want a quiet moment, there’s a second sitting room, tucked away in an exposed-stone enclave.

Although sandy Golden Beach is only two kilometres away, it’s not within walking distance as the home is fairly remote and only accessible via a narrow, unpaved road. If you fancy spending the day at a smaller beach, we recommend you drive further down the coast to Drios Beach, three kilometres away. There you'll also find a handful of bakeries for breakfast and tavernas for long lunches by the sea.
