Description Summer Blue: Paros

At this traditional villa, you're well catered for when it comes to alfresco areas and achingly beautiful ocean views – including several deck chairs, poolside sun loungers, covered seating and a dining area, complete with a built-in barbecue. Inside, timber-framed ceilings and stone floors shape the space as a whole, while Cretan pots, nautical decor and blue-white furnishings create a characterful home with plenty of visual interest.

Days begin outside, with a freshly brewed cup of Greek coffee on the sea-facing terrace, watching the waves lapping up the shore. Swim a couple of leisurely lengths in your private infinity pool, before picking out a lounger to while away the hours in the Mediterranean sunshine.

When dinnertime beckons, grill locally sourced produce and feast together under the shaded pergola. Or, head into Paros town for a celebratory dinner in one of the local tavernas, just fifteen minutes away by taxi.
