The table

Island Greek eating: olive oil as a food group, vegetables that need no persuasion, fish straight off the Naoussa boats.

Breakfast
Greek yoghurt with thyme honey, seasonal fruit, fresh bread, strong coffee.
Tavernas and the courtyard
Tomato fritters, grilled octopus, horiatiki, gouna (the Paros sun-dried mackerel).
The cooking evening

Know before you go

Paros is the Cyclades with the volume turned down: Naoussa's fishing harbour, marble lanes in Parikia, and a hilly interior of vineyards and chapels. It has Mykonos's looks without the velvet ropes.

Getting there

Fly Athens (ATH) then a 3-hour ferry from Piraeus, or a 40-minute hop to Paros airport (PAS). Port and airport pickups are included.

Worth your free time

Naoussa old port. Venetian kastro half-sunk in the harbour mouth.
Kolymbithres. Granite boulders sculpted into swimming coves.
Lefkes. Marble mountain village on the old Byzantine road.
Antiparos. Ten-minute ferry to an even slower island and a serious cave.

Eat this

Gouna. Sun-dried mackerel grilled over coals, a Paros speciality.
Ouzo and mezedes at the port. Order the small plates and let the evening decide.
Local wine. Monemvasia and Mandilaria grapes grown behind the beach.

Good to know

Schengen area; no visa for most visitors under 90 days.
The meltemi wind blows hardest late July and August; our sail day flexes around it.
Cards accepted almost everywhere; kiosks and buses prefer cash.
Ferries sell out in high summer; we book yours with the room.
