Crete

The island of Crete is the kind of place to realize all your dreams of holidays in Greece. Crystalline water, coastal towns worthy of postcards, a history of pikings and beautiful scenery – the largest island in Greece has everything you could want. Whether you want to hike the gorge of Samaria or stroll the winding streets of Chania, take a boat trip to secluded beaches or discover the art of Cretan cuisine, no Greek island offers more variety.

Ideal for: hikers.

To see: tropical as on the beach of Elafonissi, which earned its nickname, the Caribbean Crete, not in vain. The white and pink sand swirls around the warm and clear waters, making it one of the most beautiful beaches of Crete.

Food and beverage: Palazzo Almare is famous for its location and restaurants, with its outdoor dining area overlooking the old port of Chania.

Paros

Paros sleeps in the shadow of the limelight and nevertheless welcomes a steady stream of summer travelers. The island has the same characteristics as many other Cycladic islands – white villages, fishing ports, taverns and golden beaches – our favorite is Kolymbithres. The granite rocks on the beach take you back to your favorite sci-fi movie. Paros does not have the same luster as Mykonos and Santorini, but for us it’s a star.

Ideal for: live like a local.

Must-see: to really understand what Paros is all about, go through the whitewashed alleys of the old town that lead to the picturesque harbor.

Must eat: Siparos is on the beach of Santa Maria and you can trust us when I say that it is a good “One”. The location and the food are beautiful.

Accommodations: Mr & Mrs White is a mix of simplicity and casual luxury. This new hotel offers first class amenities and traditional hospitality.
