Staying at Katerina’s old family house was my favourite experience in Greece. The house is so beautiful, cozy and sparkling clean and has everything you could possibly need for your stay in Parikia. The home really does feel like being at Nonna’s place! I enjoyed many dreamlike hours in the sunny outside courtyard and did not want to leave. The location is very accessible to everything within walking distance, you get to walk through the picturesque old town every time you leave the house and return, and the area is perfect as a base for exploring the island of Paros.
Katerina’s kindness and hospitality was flawless, she met me on my late night arrival at the port and showed me the way to the house, I was greeted with a beautiful bottle of wine and delicious breakfast foods, local bread, delicious Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, coffee, Katerina was also very helpful and is full of great local tips like the best restaurants and cafes in town, where to get the local bus, where to watch the sunset, etc. and answered any questions I had about the area! She was also so kind to take me to the local ferry agency to enquire about how to travel to the next island. We enjoyed a lovely glass of wine together and local dinner at her friends traditional restaurant (best food! Highly recommend) and also a traditional Greek coffee and sweet cheese pie another day.
I highly recommend staying at Katerina’s place while you’re in Paros, the whole experience was very special and one I won’t ever forget! Thank you for all Katerina! Thank you for having me in your gorgeous place!
