Exceptional visit to Paros, quite possibly the highlight of our visit to Greece!
Eirini and Stavros were helpful in every way and displayed the kind of generosity one would receive from family, all the while respecting our privacy. As other reviewers have noted, we received a beautiful welcome package from Eirini, complete with local olives, fruit and wine from their on-site vines/trees and Stavros was especially helpful with coordinating transportation and providing strong recommendations for dining and activities. They possessed great anticipatory judgement, offering to go above and beyond to make our stay memorable and stress-free. For example, during a conversation with Eirini one afternoon, I expressed an interest in using the outside barbecue and asked if one of the trees on the property was a fig tree. Eirini said that it would not be a problem to use the grill and asked me what time we wanted to start cooking. That evening, I walked down to the barbecue greeted by Stavros, who was ready to take the lead on grilling our food! When everything was complete, I returned upstairs with a perfectly-cooked meal and a bowl of ripe figs to enjoy on the terrace.
The hospitality alone would have been enough to make me come back to their place, but the accommodations made our stay in Paros one of the highlights of our trip, which included other more popular islands in the Cyclades. The lit, marble stairs lined with beautiful foliage leading up to the second floor are very classy and set the tone for a luxurious and spacious apartment. The decor is crisp, clean and unobtrusive. The exterior living spaces are spacious and boast beautiful views of both the sea and landscaping. Additional bonus: STRONG WIFI.
If you are debating whether to go to Paros, don't hesitate and choose to stay at Eirini's place; you won't regret it.
