We just returned from a dream vacation in Paros, our first time here, and our 12-night stay at Yannis’s villa was the highlight of our stay. The villa was exactly as advertised—impeccably clean, spacious, and very nicely decorated, with a great well-stocked kitchen, very comfortable king-sized bed in the master bedroom, and a large, shaded terrace with amazing views of Golden Beach and the surrounding countryside. We appreciated all the little extras such as coffee, juice, and the delicious biscuits and welcome soumo, made from the garden’s very own vineyard! We loved sitting in the deck chairs under the bougainvillea-covered terrace to relax, read, sip our soumo in the evenings, and have breakfast or lunch around the large marble table. We especially loved the location, as it is walking distance to one of the best beaches in Paros, and very close by car to all of the other great beaches on the southern coast, yet secluded and quiet at the same time. We were in Paros long enough to explore the entire island, and visited 28 beaches (!) and all of the main towns, and decided that this part of the island was our favorite. Yet what made our visit so special was the warm hospitality of Yannis’s parents, who live next door and received us like family and surprised us by generously sharing some of their local dishes and specialties. They are so kind and lovely, yet unobtrusive, never invading our privacy. We were very touched by the little goodbye gifts they gave us. We wholeheartedly recommend Yannis’s villa and are already saving to come back! PS. And if you want to help Greece, go there on holiday! We had no problems whatsoever using our credit cards or withdrawing cash from ATMs, as the recent capital controls only affect residents, not tourists. If you want to be on the safe side, take all the cash you think you will need during your stay.
