The sand there is perfect soft and the water is incredibly warm. Sometimes, we will take a short walk to visit the famed Kolimpithres Beach. We spent most afternoons swimming in the huge pool and lying lounge chairs on the sun-drenched deck. Just as we started to get ready to go to the pool, to our surprise, the hotel staff brought us a huge basket of fresh fruits and afternoon delights for the tea. We, the parents, have a super-king sized bed and the kids were provided with a comfortably set up sofa bed. Our suites were spacious, airy and bright. We felt like living in a sanctuary with arches, concrete columns, and thick masonry all around. The understated luxury can be seen and felt from the natural stone materials, soothing color palette comprised of white, grey, ochre, and ivory, and an eclectic collection of vintage and modern furniture. This sublime boutique hotel has 33 suites built in its distinctive block-white architecture which echoes the design of the island. As soon as we stepped into the property, we understood why it is already one of the most popular accommodations on the island after such a short period of time. On Paros, we stayed with Parilio Hotel, a newly established member of the Design Hotels. To get there is quite straight forward, you can take a short plane ride from Athens or a 45 minutes ferry ride from Mykonos. It has mesmerizing villages, stunning beaches, and great night clubs and restaurants. It is incredibly charming, and yet drowning in tourism. A truly hidden gem of Greece, Paros Island has everything you wish for to see and experience in a Greek Island. If you haven’t heard of Paros Island yet, it is time to pay attention.
