YOUR FAVOURITE DESTINATION?

Paros Island.

TELL US ABOUT THE STAY? WHERE AND HOW WAS IT?

Paros is one of the best Cyclades islands in Greece. It has magical beaches, amazing various restaurants from posh to family owned ones, rural villages and very nice cozy shops. We stayed at a boutique hotel called Romantica Suites just a few minutes from the Naoussa town center. Naoussa is a vivid town especially with its nightlife and beautiful crowded streets.

ANY GREAT FINDS FROM THAT LAND?

Captain Pipinos at Antiparos… This is a hidden treasure at the end of the Antiparos island. From the atmosphere to the food everything smells pure Greek at Mr. Pipinos. You need to take a boat to go to Antiparos and drive to the very end of the island to have a dinner over there. BTW, do not forget to have a day at Beach House Antiparos if you ever think to visit Paros Island; you need to make a reservation very early to find a place over there.

SHARE SOME UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES WITH US

As a traveler I love to explore places early in the morning; watching the sunrise sitting near the sea is a must if you are an island lover like me…

YOUR PLAYLIST OR FAVORITE SONG ON REPEAT?

I love to listen to Greek and that holiday was all about Nai Nai from Zig Zag… It reminds me of my childhood.

MUST VISIT & GREAT FOOD?

The first and the best was Barbarossa Restaurant at the heart of Naoussa; it is a culinary dream and everything we eat tasted absolutely fantastic. The second must is Anna & Giorgos Restaurant which is a bit far from the town center. It's a family owned little Greek restaurant with its favourite house wine and greek food.

WHAT DID YOU PACK?

My fav greek playlist, bikinis, flat sandals, dresses and summer jewellery items which I can not do without. My Blue Skies Giant bag reminds me all those beautiful moments in Cyclades and will be my ultimate companion for the next ones ✨✨✨

WOULD YOU GO BACK? WHY?

Yes definitely! I will go with my little daughter when she will be 1.5 years old.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR NEXT DESTINATION AND DREAM DESTINATION OR JUST DREAMS:)

Our next destination will be Milos with our little one as it is one of my favourite islands in Cyclades.
