A LEGACY OF INSPIRED HOSPITALITY

WHEN MILTIADIS Andronis first set foot on Santorini, he was captivated—not just by its breathtaking caldera views and golden sunsets but by the island’s soul. With a visionary spirit and an unwavering passion for hospitality, he set out to create something extraordinary. What began as a single property soon evolved into Andronis, a pioneering group that redefines the art of hospitality across Santorini and Paros, all infused with his personal dedication to excellence and authenticity.

Since the opening of Andronis Luxury Suites in 2006, Miltiadis Andronis has led the brand’s continuous expansion, curating transformative experiences that celebrate the uniqueness of each location. From the romantic cliffside retreats of Santorini to the serene escapes of Paros, Andronis is synonymous with exceptional service, authentic connections, and timeless elegance. Every property within the group embraces his philosophy: to craft moments that linger long after guests depart.

Now, in 2025, Andronis enters a new era of luxury and innovation under his continued leadership. Following extensive enhancements, the group continues to push boundaries, seamlessly blending contemporary sophistication with the local heritage of each destination. The recent redesign of its Santorini properties, including the renovation of Andronis Luxury Suites, reflects this commitment to excellence. Meanwhile, the expansion to Paros has brought a fresh perspective to the brand, offering guests a tranquil yet immersive island experience

in a setting of understated elegance. Every suite across all locations has been reimagined to embody a refined sense of place, ensuring unparalleled comfort and style.

Beyond architecture and design, Andronis remains a pioneer in gastronomy. The introduction of Milto’s Greek Table, a new dining concept inspired by the passion for authentic flavours, pays homage to the nation’s rich culinary heritage. This addition joins a collection of unique dining experiences across the group’s locations, offering guests a gastronomic journey that celebrates tradition with a modern touch.

At the heart of Andronis is Miltiadis Andronis’ dedication to crafting unforgettable moments. Whether through exclusive personalised services, such as bespoke cultural explorations and curated wellness retreats, or through signature experiences, every detail is designed to foster meaningful connections between travellers and the places they visit.

This evolution also marks Andronis’ recognition on the global stage, with its flagship properties inducted into the prestigious LEGEND Collection by Preferred Hotels & Resorts. As the group continues to innovate and inspire, Miltiadis Andronis remains at the helm, ensuring that his original vision of heartfelt, transformative hospitality continues to thrive. His unwavering mission remains the same: to go beyond the ordinary, creating journeys that touch the heart and transform the way guests experience luxury hospitality. •

A global standard of excellence, rooted in the soul of the Aegean. More than a collection of luxury retreats, Andronis is a philosophy of living—where refined hospitality, inspired gastronomy, and holistic well-being come together with deep respect for place and people.

Discover the charm of two Cycladic treasures: Santorini, where fiery sunsets paint the sky above dazzling white cliffs, and Paros, where golden beaches meet crystal-clear waters in a serene embrace of natural beauty and relaxed island rhythm.

Tracing Horizons

THERE IS A MOMENT, just before change takes shape, when everything stands still—a breath before the next step. That is where we are now.

Santorini is where it all began. A place that shaped us, challenged us, and inspired us to reimagine what hospitality could be. This island has always been at the heart of Andronis. Over the years, we have continuously evolved what luxury means on Santorini, blending authenticity with innovation.

At Andronis, we believe hospitality is more than luxury—it is about creating moments that resonate, experiences that linger, and connections that endure. With this in mind, we are entering a new chapter, one that honours our past while shaping the future of our brand.

This year, we are building on that foundation and taking it even further with the transformation of Andronis Luxury Suites. Through a meticulous renovation, this flagship property is increasing its capacity while preserving its intimate charm. Every suite has been redesigned to offer a new level of elegance, while Mare Sanus Spa is undergoing enhancements to provide an even more immersive wellness experience. A space reimagined. A level of hospitality unmatched. At the same time, we are introducing Milto’s Greek Table, a new restaurant celebrating the rich culinary traditions of Greece—named in honour of our founder, whose vision continues to shape our journey.

But our story is no longer just about Santorini. With the

introduction of Andronis Minois in Paros, we embraced the island’s quiet sophistication, offering a sanctuary that reflects the true Cycladic spirit. Looking ahead, Milos is our next destination—an island of untamed beauty, where we will craft an experience as unique as its dramatic landscapes. Beyond Greece, the rolling hills of Tuscany will soon welcome an Andronis retreat, extending our philosophy of heartfelt hospitality to yet another inspiring setting.

Each new destination is an opportunity to bring our vision to life in a way that respects its essence. Because true hospitality is not about grand statements—it is about the details, the unseen moments, the feeling you take with you when you leave.

Amidst all this evolution, one thing remains constant: our commitment to people. Our mantra, “Memories that matter from people who care,” is more than a statement—it is the foundation of everything we do. Luxury is not just about exquisite surroundings, but about the warmth and personal attention that turn a stay into an experience worth remembering.

Whether you are returning to us or discovering Andronis for the first time, we look forward to welcoming you into our world—a place where every detail is designed to inspire, every space invites you to unwind, and every moment is yours to cherish.

This is who we are. And no matter how far we go, that will never change.

George Filippidis, Managing Director,

Andronis

Islands of Light

RETURNING TO the Cyclades is always a journey of rediscovery. No matter how many times one has set foot on these islands, each visit feels like the first—a new encounter with a timeless world of beauty, light, and effortless elegance. In this ever-evolving landscape, there is always something unexpected to uncover: an uncharted cove, a hidden taverna where the day’s catch is served on a sun-drenched terrace, a conversation with a local that unveils stories passed down through generations. Santorini remains an emblem of all that makes Greece exceptional. It is an island where the artistry of nature has shaped an extraordinary setting—majestic cliffs rising above the sapphire depths of the Aegean, with villages seamlessly blending into the caldera’s contours like an artist’s final brushstroke on an already perfect canvas. Yet beyond its famed panoramas, Santorini thrives in its authenticity. Here, the land itself tells a story, from vineyards growing in volcanic soil to the distinct flavours of a cuisine that has evolved with the island’s elemental forces.

For those who seek both luxury and meaning, the Andronis experience seamlessly blends indulgence with immersion. The philosophy behind their hospitality is simple: to provide a haven where relaxation is instinctive, where the charm of Santorini is not just observed but deeply felt. It is not only about gazing at breathtaking

views but about engaging with a place that has stood the test of time, offering its visitors a glimpse into a heritage that endures through time, woven into the fabric of daily life.

Equally captivating in its own right, Paros welcomes guests with an energy that is both exhilarating and soothing. A crossroads of tradition and modernity, the island’s soul is revealed in its diversity. Some come seeking the lively rhythm of Naoussa, where evenings stretch into the early hours under the soft glow of lantern-lit alleyways. Others retreat to the quiet charm of Parikia, where the beauty of a Cycladic sunset is best appreciated from the peaceful embrace of a historic courtyard. Beyond its vibrant towns, Paros surprises with its untouched landscapes, golden beaches, and a sense of freedom that only the Aegean can inspire. Building on the enduring legacy of exceptional hospitality, Andronis Minois continues to offer a refined experience that embraces the beauty of Paros, complementing the allure of Santorini. More than just a retreat, it is an invitation—to unwind, to explore, to be part of the island’s ever-unfolding narrative. Whether it is the romance of Santorini or the magnetic charm of Paros, the Cyclades never cease to enchant. And for those who truly listen, these islands still have countless secrets to share.

THE KEEPER OF DREAMS

A visionary, a dreamer, and above all, a storyteller of place. From the moment he first stood on the cliffs of Santorini, he saw more than a view—he saw a world of possibility. A place where luxury could be more than indulgence; where hospitality could be more than service. Miltiadis Andronis is the heartbeat of Andronis. His passion for authentic experiences, his deep connection to the destinations he chooses, and his relentless pursuit of excellence have shaped not just hotels, but entire journeys. Every suite, every restaurant, every moment within Andronis is infused with his vision—a vision that transforms a stay into a story, a visit into a lasting memory.

At Andronis, excellence is not just expected—it is instinctive. Whether delivering an exquisite dish as the sun melts into the Aegean, anticipating a guest’s desire before it is spoken, or crafting an atmosphere that feels both intimate and extraordinary, you bring the Andronis vision to life.

THE VALUED ARTISAN

Masters of their craft, guardians of tradition, and creators of beauty—the artisans of Santorini and Paros are the true storytellers of the islands. Through their hands, raw materials transform into timeless treasures, each piece infused with the soul of the Aegean. From ceramicists shaping earth and water into elegant forms to weavers crafting textiles rich with heritage, their artistry is a testament to generations of skill and devotion.

At Andronis, we celebrate these artisans by bringing their work into our world—not as decoration, but as an integral part of the guest experience. Every handcrafted ceramic, every woven fabric, every delicate brushstroke carries a story of place and passion, allowing guests to connect with the islands on a deeper, more meaningful level. Because here, luxury is not just about where you stay. It is about the hands that create, the heritage that endures, and the art that makes a place unforgettable.

"If Andronis were more than a name, what would it be?"

Luxury is more than just a place—it’s a feeling, a story, an essence that lingers long after the journey ends.

Let’s reimagine Andronis—one metaphor at a time. Through a playful yet revealing lens, we applied the Chinese Portrait method, distilling the spirit of Andronis into symbols, elements, and unexpected forms.

A Cycladic cave suite—minimalist yet luxurious, seamlessly blending nature, tradition, and innovation.

If Andronis were a type of WEATHER , it would be...

A golden sunset over the caldera—calm, breathtaking, and unforgettable, just like every guest experience.

SANTORINI’S NATURAL BOUNTY

From the land’s generous embrace to the artistry of Andronis, each ingredient tells a story of tradition, sustainability, and the timeless connection between earth and flavour.

THE CYCLADES form a vibrant mosaic of history, culture, and flavours, with Santorini standing as a beacon of culinary excellence. Andronis has long been a custodian of this tradition, curating gastronomic experiences that honour the island’s natural bounty. The volcanic soil, the crisp Aegean air, and the sun-soaked landscape imbue every ingredient with a depth of flavour that is uniquely Santorinian. At the heart of this ethos is Harvest Haven by Andronis Concept Wellness Resort, an initiative designed to connect guests with the island’s rich agricultural heritage through immersive, hands-on experiences. The fertile grounds of the resort serve as a sanctuary for Santorini’s most prized ingredients. Within the Experiential Garden, vibrant Santorini tomatoes, white aubergines, and katsounia cucumbers thrive, offering a living testament to the island’s agricultural diversity and sustainable farming practices. The garden is not merely a source of ingredients but a dynamic ecosystem where each harvest dictates the rhythm of the seasonal menus curated by Andronis chefs. Amidst these flourishing fields, an aromatic oasis comes to life. Local herbs such as oregano, throubi, thyme, and lavender are cultivated with care, their essential oils and delicate flavours lending a distinctive character to each dish. Guests are invited to explore this fragrant retreat, discovering the cultural and culinary significance of these indigenous plants. Adjacent to the garden, the Henhouse exemplifies ethical sourcing. Here, free-range hens are nurtured in an environment that prioritises their well-being, producing eggs of exceptional quality that elevate both breakfast spreads and gourmet dishes. Visitors can witness first-hand the harmonious interplay between nature and responsible farming, reinforcing Andronis’

commitment to transparency in its culinary practices. At Throubi Restaurant, within Andronis Concept Wellness Resort, the connection between tradition and innovation is seamless. Named after the aromatic throubi herb, long used in Mediterranean cuisine and herbal remedies, the restaurant epitomises a farmto-table philosophy. The culinary team sources the freshest ingredients directly from the resort’s gardens, crafting dishes that celebrate both Santorinian and broader Mediterranean flavours. Meanwhile, Andronis Arcadia in Oia takes this commitment further by not only using locally sourced olives and their derivatives but also engaging actively in their cultivation. This dedication to authenticity extends beyond Andronis’ own gardens, fostering strong alliances with Santorini’s most esteemed producers. Lauda Restaurant at Andronis Boutique Hotel and Lycabettus Restaurant at Andronis Luxury Suites elevate local gastronomy by sourcing exceptional ingredients, from artisan bread and organic eggs to the freshest seafood and sunripened vegetables. Nomikos Estate, a cornerstone of Santorini’s agricultural excellence, supplies many of the island’s finest restaurants with baby tomatoes, capers, and pistachios. The resilience required to cultivate crops in Santorini’s arid volcanic soil underscores the dedication of local farmers, particularly those producing the island’s world-renowned wines. Using the unique kouloura method to protect the vines from the harsh winds, Santorini’s vineyards yield wines of remarkable complexity and character. From fresh seafood to hand-picked herbs, Santorini presents an unparalleled palette of ingredients that Andronis restaurants masterfully transform into culinary works of art, offering guests an authentic taste of the island’s rich gastronomic heritage. •

THE ISLAND’S winemaking journey traces back over 3,000 years, predating even the massive volcanic eruption that transformed its landscape. Despite the arid conditions and strong Aegean winds, Santorini’s indigenous vines have not only survived but thrived, thanks to the distinct cultivation techniques developed by local vintners. Methods such as the kouloura, a basket-shaped pruning system, shield the grapes from the elements, preserving their intensity and complexity. At the heart of this legacy is Assyrtiko, the island’s most celebrated variety, known for its minerality and crisp acidity. Complemented by other native grapes such as Aidani and Mavrotragano, Santorini’s wines offer a spectrum of flavors that reflect the island’s singular terroir.

A LEGACY IN EVERY GLASS

Andronis has carefully curated an extensive collection of 1,900 labels, showcasing not only the finest expressions of Santorini’s indigenous grapes but also exquisite selections from around the world. With a philosophy that merges heritage with innovation, every wine at Andronis is chosen to enrich the guest experience, offering perfect pairings to complement the refined gastronomy of the island. For those eager to explore this rich vinous heritage, Santorini offers exceptional ways to do so. A guided wine tour presents the perfect introduction, taking guests on a journey through the island’s most esteemed wineries. Led by expert sommeliers, these tours provide insight into the cultivation, vinification, and aging processes unique to Santorini. Each tour includes visits to three carefully selected wineries, showcasing different perspectives on the island’s winemaking philosophy. For an even more exclusive experience, wine lovers can indulge in a private tasting at Lycabettus Restaurant. Nestled on a cliffside with sweeping views of the caldera, this intimate affair is designed for one couple each evening.

JEWELS OF MEMORY

Every piece of Andronis Fine Jewellery holds a story—one of place, memory, and timeless elegance, as told by its creator, Athina Andronis.

ATHINA ANDRONIS, founder of Andronis Fine Jewellery and gemologist, has created a boutique where elegance meets craftsmanship. Located next to Andronis Luxury Suites, it offers a carefully curated selection of rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, each designed to be a timeless keepsake. In this interview, she shares the vision behind Andronis Fine Jewellery and the inspiration drawn from Santorini’s unique character.

What inspired you to create Andronis Fine Jewellery, and how has your vision evolved over time?

A journey to a destination like Santorini is, for many, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is always special to preserve these memories through objects we carry with us—objects that remind us of the beautiful and unique moments we have lived. The more extraordinary the moment, the more precious the object that keeps it alive over time. The creation of Andronis Fine Jewellery was born from precisely this idea: to offer visitors a handcrafted Greek piece that will forever remind them of the most special journey of their lives.

Santorini is a place full of light, colour, and energy. How does the island influence the aesthetic of Andronis Fine Jewellery?

It is true that Santorini is a place of light, colour, and a distinct energy. It is also true that it has a unique aesthetic that makes it one

of a kind in the world. Our jewellery follows this philosophy. Vibrant gemstones, designs that break away from traditional jewellery forms, and a distinctive aesthetic that merges simplicity with the craftsmanship Greek goldsmiths have perfected and passed down through generations—while also embracing a modern approach to classic jewellerymaking techniques. A place where frescoes depict jewellery dating back more than 3,000 years can only be a continuous source of inspiration for us.

Which precious stones do you believe best capture the soul of the island?

Santorini is a living island, one with a character of its own—one that changes several times within the same day. Those fortunate enough to visit can sense the shifts in energy surrounding them, as though the island itself has a mood that profoundly influences the emotions of those who experience it. With this in mind, more than one gemstone can be said to capture the soul of the island. When the blue of the sea reflects against the white of the caldera, Aqua Marina, sapphires, and blue topaz seem the most fitting choices. As the island’s mood shifts and the early evening hours prepare to give way to the world’s most famous sunset, deep orange citrines, Imperial topaz, and Canary diamonds take centre stage. Then, there is another side of the island—one shaped by the

winds of the Aegean, where the white crests of the waves stand against the backdrop of black volcanic lava. Here, white and black diamonds echo the interplay between the landscape and our memories. But perhaps the most beautiful aspect of all is that every visitor is invited to choose from a rich collection of gemstones based on their own personal memory—on “their Santorini”.

Most people choose jewellery to mark a significant moment. Is there a particular customer story that has stayed with you?

It is a great privilege in life when people from all corners of the world choose you to be part of their most unique moments. Fortunately, we have the rare privilege of not having customers—we have only Friends. And for us, every single one of their stories is unforgettable. People who travel from the other side of the world to acquire unique jewellery—pieces that we have worked on together for months, imbued with deep meaning for both them and us. Equally moving is the bond we build over the years—the privilege of witnessing a couple from distant Asia seal their commitment, a pair from America renew their wedding vows, or a family choosing us to be part of their most beautiful moments. Each of these stories is just as important and unforgettable to us. Like our jewellery, these relationships have been forged with love. •

WHERE DREAMS DRIFT

Beyond the postcards, beyond the familiar blues and whites, Santorini reveals itself as a tapestry of light and time—an island where history lingers in the wind, the land whispers of fire and sea, and every sunset feels like a story waiting to be told.

A solitary white chapel clings to the rugged cliffs of Santorini, overlooking the shimmering Aegean as the sun melts into the horizon. A path winds its way to this quiet sanctuary, where time slows, and the sea whispers stories of eternity.

SOME PLACES LIVE in the imagination long before you ever set foot on them. Santorini is one of them. Before the plane lands or the ferry pulls into Athinios Port, you already know what awaits you—whitewashed houses clinging to cliffs, the endless blue of the Aegean, the sky set on fire at sunset. But what the glossy travel brochures don’t tell you is that Santorini is not just a picture-perfect postcard. It is an island with a pulse, a place where history lingers in the wind and where beauty is raw, and untamed. To truly understand it, you have to surrender to its rhythm—walk its forgotten alleyways, taste its volcanic wines, listen to the stories woven into its stones. Because Santorini is not just a place. It is a feeling—one that stays with you long after you leave.

A LANDSCAPE WRITTEN IN FIRE

Setting foot on Santorini, one cannot escape the profound sense of standing upon ancient ground. The very landscape is a reminder of its violent birth—a land that rose from the sea, shaped by the relentless power of volcanic eruptions. The cliffs of the caldera tower above the Aegean, layered in shades of rust, ochre, and black, telling the story of the cataclysmic eruption that reshaped the island thousands of years ago. Some

believe this event birthed the legend of Atlantis, a oncethriving civilisation lost beneath the waves. Whether myth or reality, what remains is an island unlike any other—a place sculpted by fire and tempered by time. A journey to Nea Kameni, the volcanic islet in the heart of the caldera, is like stepping into another world. The terrain is rugged and barren, the ground warm beneath your feet, and the air thick with the scent of sulphur. Climbing to the crater’s edge, you are reminded that Santorini is still very much alive—its volcanic core quietly slumbering beneath the surface, waiting, perhaps, for its next chapter to be written. A short boat ride away, the hot springs of Palia Kameni offer a stark contrast to the harsh volcanic landscape. The warm, mineral-rich waters, tinged orange from iron deposits, are believed to have healing properties, providing a natural spa experience unlike any other. Floating in these thermal waters, surrounded by sheer rock formations, is an experience that is both primal and deeply serene. Beyond its geology, the volcanic past of Santorini has shaped its architecture and agriculture. The island’s traditional homes, carved into the cliffs, are not only aesthetically striking but also provide natural insulation against the elements. Meanwhile, the mineral-rich soil, though inhospitable to most

Centre invites visitors into a world where mythology, music, and tradition intertwine in a beautifully restored space. Meanwhile, churches stand adorned with flags, preparing for the grand August celebrations of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.

crops, has given rise to exceptional wines and unique produce. The famed Santorini cherry tomatoes, sweet and intensely flavoured, and the distinctive fava beans, cultivated for centuries, are culinary treasures that owe their existence to the island’s volcanic terroir.

The impact of the volcano extends even to the way the islanders interact with their surroundings. In the stillness of a Santorini evening, with the scent of salt and wild thyme in the air, it is easy to understand why the people of this island have always seen their land as something both awe-inspiring and unpredictable.

The volcano is not merely history; it is a presence— one that still murmurs beneath the surface, reminding all who live here that nature always has the final word.

THE ECHOES OF THE PAST

Growing up in a place of such deep history, you rarely stop to think about it. As a child, the ruins are just part of the landscape—background scenery to beach trips and endless summer afternoons. But then, one day, it all clicks. You find yourself standing before the ruins of Ancient Akrotiri, and suddenly, history is no longer something distant. It is real. It is tangible. It is right there beneath your fingertips. Walking through its streets, past three-storey buildings, elaborate frescoes, and the remains of a sophisticated Minoan city, it is impossible not to wonder: who were they, these people who once lived here? Then, there is Ancient Thera, perched high on a ridge overlooking the sea. Founded in the 9th century BCE and later ruled by Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines, its ruins tell a different story—one of empires rising and falling, of cultures weaving into one another, of a civilisation that adapted but ultimately faded. The views from here are breathtaking, but it is the weight of history that stays with you.

And if Akrotiri and Thera are the island’s memory, then the Museum of Prehistoric Thera in Fira is its heart—a treasure trove of artefacts, from delicate pottery to the vibrant frescoes that once adorned Akrotiri’s walls.

VILLAGES OF WHISPERING STONES

There is Santorini, the island of the caldera views, the infinity pools, the five-star luxury. And then, there is the Santorini that still belongs to those who live here. To find it, you must leave the tourist trail behind. In Pyrgos, time moves slower. The village, once the island’s capital, spirals upwards towards a Venetian castle. Wander its alleys, past blue-domed chapels, stone-built mansions, and hidden courtyards, and you feel as though you have stepped back a hundred years. Emporio, on the other hand, feels like something out of a dream. Nestled in the foothills of Mount Profitis Ilias, it is home to a medieval castle that once protected the island’s inhabitants from invaders. The village’s architecture, with its tightly packed houses and maze-like streets, speaks of a time when security was paramount, yet today it exudes nothing but tranquillity. The old

Kasteli, a medieval fortress-town, is a labyrinth of narrow passageways, arched tunnels, and houses built so close together that they seem to merge into one. There is something enchanting, almost theatrical, about walking here—as if at any moment, the past might slip through the cracks and come to life. Here, local tavernas serve traditional meze, and elderly residents sit outside their homes, exchanging stories as they watch the world go by. Also known as the «ghost village,» Mesa Gonia, another hidden village-gem was abandoned after a devastating earthquake in 1956. Today, it’s a testament to resilience, with some restored houses and wineries operating amidst the ruins. Strolling through its quiet streets offers a poignant glimpse into Santorini’s past. Then, there is Megalochori, with its vineyard-covered hills and traditional canavas—underground cellars where wine has been made for centuries. The village is a quiet retreat, a place where tavernas serve fava with caramelised onions, cherry tomatoes sun-dried to perfection, and homemade pies baked in wood-fired ovens. And finally, Finikia, an artist’s haven where ochre-painted houses nestle among gardens heavy with pomegranate trees. Once the home of the island’s wine-growers, its streets now lead to hidden chapels and quiet corners where you can still hear the whisper of a time when Santorini was a place of farmers and sailors, not influencers and tourists.

WINE: THE SOUL OF SANTORINI

Santorini does not have lush fields or rolling hills. Its vineyards grow in the harshest of conditions—on volcanic rock, battered by wind, beneath a relentless sun. And yet, from this unforgiving land, the island produces wines unlike any other. The secret lies in Assyrtiko, the grape that has become Santorini’s signature. Crisp, bone-dry, with a minerality that speaks of salt and stone, it is a wine that could only be born here. At Venetsanos Winery, built into the cliffs, you can sip a glass while gazing at the caldera. At Gavalas, you’ll learn the ancient art of basket-trained vines. And at Hatzidakis, where organic winemaking has become a philosophy, you will taste the island’s true soul. And then there is Vinsanto—the island’s liquid gold. Aged for years, its deep amber hue holds the memory of Santorini’s sun, its taste a perfect balance of sweetness and fire.

THE ALLURE OF ITS COASTLINE

Beyond the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, Santorini’s coastline reveals an entirely different side of the island— one shaped as much by time as it is by the elements. The beaches here are unlike those found on other Greek islands. Instead of endless stretches of golden sand, Santorini offers something far more dramatic: shores sculpted by volcanic forces, their colours ranging from deep red to pure white and jet black. One of the most spectacular is Red Beach, near Akrotiri, where

Whitewashed stone, endless blue—Santorini in its purest form.

towering rust coloured cliffs plunge into the crystalline waters. The contrast between the iron-rich sand and the turquoise sea makes for a surreal experience, as if stepping onto another planet. Nearby, White Beach, accessible only by boat, offers an even starker landscape white limestone cliffs providing a striking contrast to the deep blue of the Aegean. For those seeking a quieter escape, Vlychada Beach remains one of the island’s best kept secrets. The wind-sculpted cliffs that border this stretch of sand resemble the surface of the moon, giving it a mystical, otherworldly feel. The small fishing harbour nearby provides a glimpse into the slower rhythm of life on the island, where traditional wooden boats bob gently in the water and fishermen mend

their nets as they have for generations. For something truly off the beaten track, the secluded Mesa Pigadia Beach offers an untouched paradise, where volcanic pebbles line the shore and the only sounds come from the rhythmic crashing of waves against the rocks. This is Santorini at its rawest—untamed, unspoiled, and entirely unforgettable. For those who crave a lively atmosphere, Perissa and Kamari Beaches are the island’s most popular black sand beaches. Stretching along the southeastern coast, they offer a mix of sunbeds, beach bars, and water sports, all set against the dramatic backdrop of Mesa Vouno, the imposing rock formation that rises between them. These beaches, formed from volcanic ash, create a unique swimming experience, as

the dark sand absorbs the heat of the sun, making the shoreline warmer than one might expect. A visit to Columbo Beach, named after the underwater volcano nearby, offers another extraordinary perspective. This isolated stretch of coastline, with its wild beauty and powerful waves, is perfect for those who want to experience Santorini’s more rugged and untamed side. The surrounding cliffs, formed by millennia of geological activity, serve as a reminder that this island is in a constant state of transformation. The diversity of Santorini’s beaches ensures that there is something for everyone—whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or a

connection with the island’s untamed landscapes. From the sun-drenched shores of Perivolos to the dramatic coastline of Eros Beach, where towering cliffs embrace a quiet and secluded bay, every beach tells its own story.

dramatic scenery. The island is a living canvas where nature itself has sculpted cliffs, skies, and waters into something truly magnificent, and those who are drawn to it often seek to capture its magic through art. In the winding streets of Fira and Oia, art galleries line the pathways, inviting visitors into intimate spaces where Santorini’s beauty is translated into paintings, sculptures, and ceramics. Art Space in Exo Gonia, a former winery turned contemporary art gallery, showcases the works of Greek and international artists, blending modern creativity with the island’s deep cultural heritage. Inside, the scent of aged wine lingers in the air, a

reminder of Santorini’s agricultural past, while the art itself speaks of a place where old and new coexist in perfect harmony. At the Symposion Cultural Centre in Megalochori, creativity extends beyond visual arts. Housed in a restored 19th-century wine cave, this space offers musical performances, storytelling, and interactive workshops that explore Greek mythology and artistic expression. The centre becomes a sanctuary for both artists and visitors, immersing them in a world where art and history intertwine. For those seeking traditional craftsmanship, Andreas Makaris’ pottery studio in Megalochori offers an intimate look into the art of ceramics. Here, clay is shaped by hand, just as it has been for centuries, into elegant vessels that echo the forms of ancient Greek pottery. Each piece, glazed in earthy hues, carries the essence of the island—its textures, its fire, its spirit.

Santorini’s artistic expression is not confined to galleries and workshops. It spills out into the streets, onto the walls of old buildings, in the details of handwoven textiles and locally crafted jewellery.

OIA:

BEYOND THE SUNSET

Yes, the sunset in Oia is famous. But Oia is not just about the golden hour. Wake before dawn and walk its streets in silence, when the light is soft and the world is still sleeping. Climb to the ruins of the Venetian Castle, and for a moment, the island belongs to you alone. Take the steep path down to Ammoudi, where red cliffs plunge into impossibly blue waters, and find a taverna where the seafood is fresh, the wine is local, and time feels irrelevant.

A TIMELESS ESCAPE

As the sun dips below the horizon and the sky erupts in hues of gold and crimson, there is a moment of stillness. The world holds its breath. This is what draws people back to Santorini—not just the beauty, but the feeling it leaves behind.

It is a place of contrasts, where the ruins of lost civilisations stand alongside luxurious infinity pools. Where the wind carries echoes of ancient myths, and the waves whisper secrets to those who linger long enough to listen.

Santorini does not demand to be visited. It beckons to be felt, to be lived, to be remembered. And once you have stood upon its cliffs, wandered its villages, and tasted its flavours, you will understand why—long after you leave—it never truly lets you go. Because that is the thing about Santorini. It is not just a place you visit— it is a place that stays with you, long after the last glass of wine has been emptied and the last sunset has faded into the sea. It lingers. In your senses. In your memory. In your heart. And one day, it calls you back. •

ANDRONIS MOSAIC: PAROS

INTO THE BLUE

Τhere are places that invite you to simply visit, and then there are those that demand to be felt, to be lived. Paros is one such island—an everunfolding story where the sea sculpts the land, the wind whispers through ancient alleyways, and history lingers in every stone and shadow.

A glimpse of untouched paradise: Aerial view of Panteronisi, a mesmerising islet with dazzling turquoise waters, floating serenely between Paros and Antiparos in the heart of the Cyclades, Greece.

THE FIRST THING THAT strikes you about Paros is the light. It spills over the island in great golden waves, bouncing off whitewashed walls, shimmering in the blue of the Aegean, and seeping into the very soul of the place. There’s an unhurried rhythm here, a cadence set by the whispering wind in the olive groves and the lapping waves on golden shores. Paros isn’t just a destination—it’s a state of being.

WHERE THE WIND STILL SINGS

Venture inland, away from the well-trodden paths of Parikia and Naoussa, and you’ll find yourself in a landscape where time slows to a whisper. The old windmills stand like solemn guardians of the past, their wooden arms long stilled, but their presence undiminished. Once, these windmills powered the livelihoods of generations, grinding grain under the relentless gusts of the Aegean winds. Today, they offer silent testimony to an era when life was dictated by the elements, and resilience was woven into the island’s fabric. But in the village of Ysterni, the past breathes still. Here, tucked away in the quiet, you’ll find the last wood-fired bakery of the island. The scent of fresh bread—thick crusted, golden, impossibly inviting— wafts through the air. The bakery is a living relic, its ovens once kindled by the millers of Lefkes, their craft carried through generations. One bite of the warm, crackling crust and you understand: this isn’t just bread; it’s history, baked fresh every morning.

A VILLAGE SYMPHONY

Each village on Paros hums with its own quiet melody. In the mountainous embrace of Lefkes, cobbled streets weave through archways draped in bougainvillaea. This was once the capital of Paros, a place where nobility and poets found solace in the crisp mountain air. Today, it remains a stronghold of tradition, where elderly men sip ouzo under the shade of ancient trees, and the House of Literature welcomes wandering souls in search of inspiration. Further east, Marpissa rises

This is not just another Greek island. This is Paros, in all its untamed beauty and poetic grace.

Here, tradition dances in harmony, creating an experience that isn’t just seen but absorbed, like the warmth of the sun sinking into your skin.

from the hills, its whitewashed houses clustered like a flock of doves. There’s something undeniably poetic about this place, especially in August, when the Routes in Marpissa festival fills the air with music, theatre, and whispered stories of the past. And then there’s Prodromos, a village so pristine it feels like a dream, its alleys paved in marble, its doorways adorned with intricate blue shutters. Here, tradition lingers not just in the architecture, but in the very way life unfolds— slowly, deliberately, beautifully.

THE CALL OF THE SEA

Of course, Paros is as much about the sea as it is about its villages. And nowhere is that more evident than on the shores of Parasporos Beach, home of Andronis Minois. Just a stone’s throw from Parikia, it’s a sanctuary where golden sands stretch in an arc, cradled by a bay that keeps the wind at bay. By day, the beach is a haven of sun and salt-kissed skin. Families gather under straw umbrellas, beachgoers lounge with books in hand, and adventurers take to the waves for windsurfing and jet skiing. But it’s at sunset that Parasporos truly comes alive. The western-facing horizon becomes a canvas of fire and rose gold, the sea catching every colour and throwing it back with wild abandon. As night falls, the beach transforms into a different kind of paradise—one where the scent of grilled seafood mingles with the salty breeze, where music spills from beach bars, and where laughter dances across the sand long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. For those seeking more secluded beauty, the hidden coves of Kolymbithres offer a lunar-like landscape of smooth granite formations rising from crystalline waters. At Santa Maria Beach, golden sands stretch under the embrace of a pine-fringed coast, drawing both relaxation seekers and water sports enthusiasts. And for true solitude, Langeri Beach provides an untouched escape where nature reigns supreme.

THE LIVING HISTORY OF PAROS

Paros is an open-air museum, where history isn’t just preserved—it’s lived. In Parikia, the Archaeological Museum houses treasures unearthed from the island’s storied past, including fragments of ancient temples and the haunting beauty of the Gorgon Medusa statue. Just a short walk away, the Church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani, known as the ‘Church of a Hundred Doors,’ stands as one of the oldest Byzantine churches

The striking contrast of fuchsia bougainvillaea against the light blue wooden shutters of Paros’ traditional homes highlights the island’s effortless artistic charm— authentic, vibrant, and beautifully unpretentious.

in Greece, its origins stretching back to the 4th century. Naoussa, beyond its famed Venetian castle and fishing harbour, offers another historical gem: the Wine Museum, where generations of winemaking unfold through artifacts and tastings of Paros’ finest vintages. And in the village of Aliki, the Folklore Museum offers a glimpse into the daily lives of islanders from centuries past, preserving traditions that still shape Parian culture today.

A TASTE OF PAROS

To know a place, you must taste it. And Paros serves up its soul in every bite. The island’s cuisine is a

marriage of sea and soil, a symphony of flavours drawn from the salt of the Aegean and the rugged fertility of its land. Start with the cheeses—graviera, nutty and rich; mizithra, soft and fresh; ladotyri, aged in olive oil for a depth of flavour that lingers on the tongue. Pair them with hunks of freshly baked bread from Ysterni’s wood-fired ovens, drizzled with golden local honey or spread with tangy caper paste. Then, the seafood: octopus, grilled to smoky perfection and drizzled with a caper sauce that tastes like the very essence of the island. Squid, stuffed with rice and fresh herbs, its briny sweetness balanced by the bite of lemon. Chickpeas slow-cooked in clay pots until

Wandering through Paros’ narrow stonepaved paths at dawn is pure serenity. The crisp morning air carries the scent of blooming jasmine, while the sun gently illuminates whitewashed houses with quaint courtyards, offering a peaceful escape into the island’s timeless charm.

Not every path in Paros leads to a beach. Some, like this one, guide you into the everyday rhythm of village life — where herbs grow on windowsills, paint peels with pride, and neighbors greet each other across courtyards. It’s not the view you came for, but the one you’ll remember.

The smooth, sculpted granite formations of Kolymbithres Beach rise from crystal-clear waters, creating a surreal seascape that feels both ancient and otherworldly.

they collapse into a rich, earthy stew. And all of it washed down with souma, the fiery local spirit that carries the warmth of Paros itself in every sip.

A FESTIVAL OF LIGHT AND SHADOW

But Paros is not just a place to visit—it’s a place to celebrate. The island’s festivals are woven into the very fabric of life, each one a vibrant thread in the tapestry of tradition. In Naoussa, the Pirate Festival is a raucous homage to the days when Barbary corsairs prowled these waters. The streets become a stage, actors reenacting the infamous attack of Barbarossa, while fireworks split the night sky and music spills into the early hours. Then there’s the Festival of Trata in Parikia, where fishermen celebrate their craft with feasting and storytelling, honouring the sea that has given so much to this island. And in the village of Prodromos, the Kleidonas Festival sees bonfires blaze, their flames licking at the sky as revelers leap through them, believing the fire will burn away the past year’s misfortunes.

A STORY STILL UNFOLDING

Paros is a place that refuses to be confined to postcards and travel brochures. It is a living, breathing island, shaped by history, sculpted by the elements, and carried forward by the people who call it home. It is windmills and wood-fired bread, marble streets and mountain villages, sunlit beaches and moonlit festivals. It is a story still being written, with every wave that kisses its shores, with every footstep that echoes through its villages. And if you listen closely, you’ll hear it whispering to you, inviting you to be part of its next chapter. •

More than just a destination, Paros is a living canvas of history, nature, and tradition—where every step uncovers a story, and every moment lingers like the Aegean breeze.

Where open fire cooking meets the rhythm of the marina, Thalassamou welcomes discerning guests and moored yachts from morning until night — a vibrant hub for those seeking something beyond the ordinary.

open fire cuisine oyster bar

Thalassamou has never been about trends. It has always been about essence — fire, flavor, and a grounded authenticity that speaks without needing to impress. Now, after years of cultivating a loyal following, the restaurant finds itself in a new home: relocated above the newly built marina of Aliki, where the view opens to sea and sky, and the flame still burns just as slow.

From morning to night, Thalassamou welcomes guests arriving from land or sea. Thanks to its prime location overlooking the marina, it offers seamless service to yachts and sailing crews — whether it’s a fresh breakfast delivered at berth, or a long dinner shared as sails rest and light fades into gold.

At the heart of the experience is the open fire kitchen, where Chef / Owner Marios Salmatanis returns to fundamentals: clay pots, cast iron, open flame. Scorpionfish roasts in the wood oven; sourdough breathes like memory; every dish is touched by fire and served with intention. This is cooking with patience, with instinct — and always with reverence to the land that gives. The space, redesigned for this next chapter, is open and elemental. Parian marble, wood, breeze, light — the architecture frames the marina without overpowering it. Every detail has been considered, including the handcrafted ceramic tableware, created in collaboration with @anthologistliving and designed by Andria Mitsakos. Organic in form, they hold food like vessels of story. Open daily from 09:00 to 23:00, Thalassamou flows with the rhythm of the port. Breakfast, lunch, aperitivo, dinner — each moment offers a different light, a different flavor, a different kind of pause. And for those at sea, provisioning is offered with care: freshly baked bread, seasonal produce, fine wines, and dishes prepared by the chef himself — everything you need, brought directly to your boat. Thalassamou hasn’t changed in spirit. But its new setting, touched by salt and sun, feels like a natural evolution. A restaurant that belongs to its place — and invites you to do the same.

Emmanuel Renaut and George Dospras

The first of its kind, Lauda emerged in 1971, igniting Oia’s gastronomic identity.
