We were very nervous when arriving at Paros because we had very high hopes - after all, this was the island we'd chosen to get married at!

And Marili Apartments, our wonderful hosts Marina & Yianni and the beautiful island itself exceeded all our expectations.

Marina & Yianni were/are incredibly warm hearted, generous and genuinely caring hosts. From the moment we arrived we felt we were embraced like long lost relatives. And then began all the little touches like the local bottle of wine waiting for you on the table, fresh vegetables picked from Marina's vegetable patch that day for you to place in your salad, deliciously baked spanakopita shared one day, moist cake from the oven the next....the hospitality was simply first class and added magic to our special stay in Paros.

Oh, our room at Marili was excellent too by the way. Double glazed windows adding to the serene silence of the location & sealing in the air conditioning from the heat of the day. Immaculately clean and very cosy, overlooking the grounds of a fabulous little vineyard.
