Cove Paros is owned by the beautiful and charming Youli Papaioannou; her family has been in the hotel industry for years, having launched their first hotel in Zakynthos in 1992. Tourism and hospitality have always been a part of her life, and she has a personal attachment to the island and the childhood nostalgia surrounding it. Having spent countless summers there with her family, she wanted to recreate the magic of those moments for her guests.
“The passion for hospitality is an enduring mystery that Greeks are well acquainted with,” says Youli. “It’s in the culture, in the history, there were ancient laws protecting its sanctity. It’s also probably unavoidable, at some point or another, that an entrepreneur in Greece like myself would take an interest in tourism and the opportunities it makes available. Just the topography of the Cyclades on its own would inspire anyone to fantasize about their own boutique sanctuary.
The main village of Paros is Naoussa, which is filled with traditional tavernas, upscale restaurants, and bars. The area is quite packed with young locals and visitors every night, adding to the thriving energy of the area, but there are many options for finding a waterfront table for dining. Around my stay, there were superyachts delivering celebrities like Justin Bieber and Charlize Theron and billionaires like Jeff Bezos, all exploring the charm of the island.
The resort was created with stunning modern design, all curated by the architectural firm eDje. Usually, hotels with minimalist aesthetics are cold and sterile, but Cove Paros is so well designed that you feel as if you are in your own private villa.The hotel offers 45 suites, of which five are signature suites with private swimming pools and are truly the best way to experience this beautiful hotel.
Dinners are a late experience in Greece, usually starting at 10 pm. We spent hours walking through the narrow stone passageways of the town past countless boutiques and many tavernas. The charming waterfront is filled with colorful fishing boats seemingly melted together in the packed harbor. There are numerous dining options, including the most popular Statheros and Barbarossa, but try and select a taverna where locals hang out to avoid the tourists.
So … why are we fighting for women's rights? It appears that they've had them for some time. Can we all admit that we've finally achieved 'Equality'? So tired of the wokeness.
Women own many ocean front properties in the Med - traditionally the sons inherited the valuable inland farming properties and the daughters were given the then valueless beachfront properties - guess they get to have the last laugh.
that mean they're gonna hook a girl up with a free room to review? cause solidarity or something ;)
What about hotels that men own?
