What a hidden gem Despina's Mare is! My husband and I both loved it from the moment we arrived. The owner's daughter was incredibly kind and helpful. The property is very clean and safe; they clean the rooms daily. There's an ATV rental a couple of blocks away, which is a must in Paros! The beach is a 5-minute walk away and if you're adventurous enough, there's one closer by the rocks. The town is also a 5-minute walk away with the property being far enough from the nightlife, but close enough to shopping, dining etc. They arranged transportation for us before arrival, so we had a taxi waiting for us at the port. Our balcony overlooked the sea and we very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it! Oh, and don't forget to grab a candy from the front office:).

This is a most beautiful, charming property run by the incomparable Despina. The rooms were new, clean, bright and had everything you needed, including a small fridge and nespresso machine. We had the double time with balcony, which was a wonderful place for a morning coffee. The walk to the tourist area of town was through a charming alleyway and walk along the shoreline. There was ample parking nearby. If you are looking for a beautiful, wonderfully run property run by a local, this is your place. It has a beautiful courtyard filled with the most wonderful flowering plants, including the most fragrant jasmine right outside our door. I would return here in a heartbeat.
