Day Five
Exploring Paros: Villages, Beaches & Hidden Gems
Wake up to another glorious morning on Paros and get ready for a day of pure island discovery. With your rental car at your disposal, you’ll have the freedom to explore at your own pace — with our carefully curated itinerary guiding you to the island’s most enchanting corners.
Begin your adventure in a charming fishing village, where the morning sun glimmers on the water and locals sip coffee along the quay. Continue your drive to idyllic beaches, perfect for a refreshing swim or a stroll along the sand.
As afternoon approaches, wind your way into the mountain villages, where whitewashed lanes and bougainvillea frame hidden tavernas serving delicious local fare — an ideal spot for a long, lazy lunch.
For those interested in history, we recommend a stop at the ancient marble quarries, where the same luminous Parian marble once used to sculpt the legendary Venus de Milo was mined.
Later in the day, visit Parikia, the island’s capital. Wander through its maze of cobblestone streets, browse unique artisan boutiques, and don’t miss the Church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani — the “Church of a Hundred Doors,” one of the most significant Byzantine monuments in Greece.
Return to your boutique hotel to unwind with a drink by the sea before heading into town for dinner. We’ll provide you with a list of our favorite local tavernas — perfect spots to end your day with authentic flavors and warm island hospitality.

Day Six
Savoring Paros: Island Living at Its Best
Wake to another sun-soaked morning and enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the shimmering Aegean, with nearby islands dotting the horizon.
Today is all about living like a local. Spend your morning meandering through the charming villages of Paros — stop for coffee by the sea, sample handmade pastries from a local bakery, and let the easy rhythm of island life guide your steps.
For lunch, we’ll point you to our favorite spot in town — famous for serving the best souvlaki and gyros on the island. Simple, delicious, and authentically Greek.
Or perhaps today calls for something a little more adventurous — a half-day catamaran cruise across the turquoise waters to nearby Antiparos and secluded beaches only reachable by boat. Relax on deck with a drink in hand as you soak in the sun and the sea breeze. We’ll monitor the weather and help arrange the ideal experience, whether you prefer a shared sailing or a private charter with your own captain and crew.
As evening approaches, prepare for a truly memorable experience — a hands-on cooking class hosted by a local chef. You’ll learn the secrets of traditional Greek dishes and then enjoy the fruits of your labor, paired with local wines in warm, authentic surroundings.

Upon arrival, your private driver will greet you and take you to your boutique hotel.
After check-in, we recommend an orientation walk through Chora, the island’s charming main town.

Day Eight
Island of Naxos
Today promises an adventurous and immersive exploration of Naxos’ scenic back roads. You have several options for experiencing the island’s interior—choose to explore by e-bike (rental cost on you), or rental car (cost on you), for those who do not want to cycle. Either way, we’ve planned a spectacular route through rolling hills and stunning landscapes. (Be prepared—there are some hills!)
Your journey begins in the charming village of Halkio, home to a family-run distillery producing the local specialty, Citron liqueur. Here, you can enjoy a tasting session and learn about the traditional production process. Halkio also boasts quaint galleries and cozy cafés, perfect for those who prefer to relax while others shop.
From there, your ride or drive will take you deep into Naxos’ heartland, where you'll pass marble quarries and villages built entirely from the island’s famed white marble.
For lunch, you can stop at a traditional taverna, where you’ll have the chance to enjoy authentic Naxian cuisine.
On your way back, visit a local family’s garden, where an ancient Kouros statue—a massive, unfinished sculpture of Apollo—still rests, abandoned centuries ago in the very marble from which it was carved.
Back in town by late afternoon, we suggest a sunset walk to the Temple of Apollo, a breathtaking spot to watch the sun dip into the Aegean Sea.
In the evening, we’ll arrange dinner reservations at one of Naxos’ best tavernas, where you can savor the island’s exceptional cuisine and wine.
