Bathed in Azure

Holiday Rental Description

Sitting on 2 acres of swaying olive trees, with walls cloaked in crisp white, this villa doesn't fail to impress. The interior is sleek and modern while retaining the traditional whitewashed walls, earthy tones, and pops of blue that are so intrinsic to Paros.

The days whittle away as you enjoy a lazy morning reading on one of the outdoor seats, sipping fresh coffee from the Nespresso machine, watching the morning light dance on the calm sea, and the mountains come into focus. Then, head to the swimming pool for a quick dip before deciding the Aegean Sea is too beautiful not to swim in it. There are plenty of beaches to choose from - Aliki Beach is just eleven minutes by car, or you can visit the peaceful Paralia Agia Irini. It's a twenty-eight-minute walk away or a short six-minute drive. Paralia Agia Irini is enveloped by tall palm trees, and you get the feeling you're far from anything at all. Bliss. Wherever you spend your beach days, you'll never be far from a beach bar. Get an icy cold Mythos as you listen to the sea calmly come to shore.

After a day of sunning and swimming, you're bound to be hungry. Make your way to the gorgeous Parikia, where its bright white buildings, fuschia coloured flowers, and blue shutters will make you fall in love with the place. Everything about it screams Grecian Summer. It's just a ten-minute drive away and there, you can walk the cobbled streets, nip in trinket shops, drink local wine, and eat all of the delicious Greek food that your stomach will allow.
