The Driftwood Hunter Paros

Property Description

Like all of the Cyclades islands, Paros is famed for its striking natural beauty. But this particular landscape also served as the setting for one of the most prized natural resources of the ancient world. Sculptors would do anything to get their hands on Parian marble, but now it’s all about getting your toes into the water at pristine sandy shores. And at just a nine-minute walk from Nea Chrisi Akti Beach, this home can certainly offer that.

Styled with whitewashed walls and blue window frames, the exterior looks suitably traditional. With a front terrace stretching from the outdoor lounge and dining area, to a huge private swimming pool, lush lawn, and eventually the Aegean Sea, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to sunny spots for a cocktail.

As you head inside for a top-up, the elegant exteriors also make a lasting impression. In keeping with the rustic look of the building, there are decor choices that ooze Greek character. We love the distressed white of the wooden slatted ceilings, sitting above features like an enormous antler chandelier, rope trim, and a driftwood hatstand. In its effort to keep a strong link to the natural world, this home truly creates a sense of zen and harmony with the surroundings.
