Home description
Beautifully renovated 2 bedroom house in the village of Kostos on the island of Paros. Kostos village in which the house is situated is a very quiet traditional Greek village and would suit those looking for a peaceful holiday. However, the bustling seaside towns of Naousa and Paroikia are less than a 10 minute drive away where you will find a huge range of tavernas, shops, clubs, bars, banks and post offices. Lefkes village, one of the most stunning villages in the Cyclades is just 3km away where an evening stroll through the village is a must and where many walks begin, including the famous Byzantine walk which will take you to Marpissa.
Stunning beaches and beautiful walks are all just a short drive away from Kostos village and you will not have far to go to find a perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming and water sports.
Paros itself is centrally located within the Cyclades island making it an ideal spot to 'island hop' . Naxos and Mykonos are very close by and Santorini is only 2 hours away. Paros is easily accessed from Athens via the Blue Star Ferries, High Speed Ferries and Olympic Airways. Athens airport is serviced by cheap flights via Easy Jet. Also, during the high season you can get flights direct to Mykonos or Santorini and a ferry from there.

The Aegean Islands region
The Cyclades are the most popular of all the Greek islands and attract thousands of visitors every year. They are famous for their extraordinary weather, the beauty of the beaches and the charm of the architecture along with a fascinating history and lots of experience at catering for the thousands of holidaymakers who visit each year.
Paros / Kostos Village area
The house is situated in the heart of the beautiful village of Kostos. Kostos is an impressive island village with narrow alleyways, a lovely square and beautiful green pines and has amazing panoramic views of the island and sea. The village has a children's play area opposite the local taverna and also has a coffee shop, village shop and a medical clinic.
Kostos village is on the main bus route around the island and will take you to all the main towns on Paros.
Paros is one of the largest islands of the Cyclades with approx. 120 km coastline, situated about halfway between Athens and Santorini. In ancient history Paros was famous for its semi-transparent marble, which is still quarried today. Paroikia, the capital, is one of the main harbors of the Cyclades with frequent connections to almost all other islands. The island lies within approx. 2,5 hours (with a high-speed boat) or 4 hours (normal ferry) distance from Piraeus port in Athens.
Paros Island has a lot to offer its visitors! Whether you prefer a quiet, peaceful holiday enjoying the beautiful nature and traditional Greek atmosphere, an active or educational one, or you would just like to party, you'll definitely find what you are looking for! The infrastructure is very good, the main road around the island being about 72 km long and well sign-posted, which makes it ideal to go discovering the island by yourselves! Paros has many beautiful sandy beaches for all tastes. Some are hidden, tiny little bays, enclosed by extraordinarily "sculptured" rocks ("Kolimbithres"), others are long and wide. The typical countryside with its gentle, terraced hills and magnificent rock formations, endless vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees is overwhelming. In the spring, the island is completely green, with flowers growing everywhere!
How to get there
