To the Muses Paros

Property Description

Steeped in tradition, this white-washed villa is a treasure trove of Cycladic architecture. Picture alfresco dining nooks tucked underneath stone archways, timber beams on the ivory ceilings and windows and doors painted Grecian blue. The panoramic views of the ocean are worth staying for – on a clear day, you can even see the neighbouring islands of Mykonos, Naxos and Iraklia – and the dazzling blue pool is the icing on the cake. Spend lazy afternoons floating in the water, then dry off on the sun loungers, a cocktail in hand. Come evening, indulge in an alfresco feast before retreating to the comfortable bedrooms for a good night's sleep – for guests who like a bit more privacy, there's a separate studio on the first floor.

Location-wise, you're just a short drive from Naoussa. Known for its pretty stone lanes, thriving harbourside restaurants and cosmopolitan atmosphere, there'll be plenty to keep you busy. Browse the independent boutiques, sprawl out on Kolympethres Beach or while away the evenings at one of the charming tavernas right by the sea. It's the perfect locale to explore Paros – if you can tear yourself away from that magnificent view, that is.
