We had the most relaxing and chilled stay at beautiful Villa Ploes. There's a very cosy and homely feel to it and you immediately settle in as soon as you walk through the front door. The countryside location and those views out over the sea and across to Naxos are unbeatable; you can lie by the pool all day, enjoying them in utter peace and quiet.
Ionna put us in touch with local chef Anastasia who came twice to the villa to cook for us, and her food was restaurant class amazing; she made everything from scratch and served us the most awesome banquets. I would highly recommend doing this...you're on holiday after all!
The villa is a very pleasant 30 minutes or so stroll (or a 5 minute drive) to the local village of Ambelas where our favourite restaurant by far was Blue Oyster - cue long lazy lunches!
It's only about a 15 minute drive to the beautiful coastal village of Naoussa, which is so idyllic to walk through the maze of narrow and typically Greek alleys, and has loads of dining options. We chose Axinos Seafood Restaurant for lunch one day and were not disappointed; the seafood on Paros is so fresh and probably the best we've eaten on any holiday...and it doesn't cost the earth either!
And to return home to Villa Ploes after a day of exploring (or eating!) was the perfect way to end perfect days on Paros.
