voted best island in europe 2018 (travel + leisure magazine), paros is known throughout the world for its divine white marble. today, its quarries are quiet, but the same bright stone can be seen across this carefree destination, reflecting the warm greek sun throughout the year.
a medium sized island, paros is a pleasingly round shape, formed by a single mountain sloping gently down on all sides towards the sea. just a 3-4 hour ferry trip from athens, or a short 40 minute flight from the city to paros national airport, the island is well connected and centrally located within the aegean, making it the perfect choice for international visitors all year long.
peaceful throughout the winter, paros bursts into life during summer, with countless boutiques, cafes, artisan workshops and traditional shops opening their doors to visitors from the greek mainland and beyond. despite its role as a popular tourist destination, paros has managed to preserve its local spirit in a way some other islands have not. traditional houses are whitewashed with blue doors and window-frames, whilst larger buildings may have beautiful private gardens filled to the brim with fragrant orange trees and vibrant bougainvillea.
the first choice for the smart set is naousa, a typical cycladic settlement filled with cobbled streets and simple, white buildings. the tiny harbour is home to countless traditional tavernas and ouzeries, whilst the sight of fresh octopus hung up to dry on is a regular, ever-day occurrence. gastronomy lovers are spoiled for choice at this culinary hotspot of the aegean, with prestigious names including barbarossa, mario restaurant and le sud serving the freshest seafood all summer long. naousa also boasts a vivid nightlife scene, from elegant city clubs and award-winning bars to traditional kafeneions and laid-back cafes.
villa olmara is a newly built design villa set in the hills above naoussa, commanding sweeping 180° aegean views toward naxos. just minutes from the island’s most cosmopolitan town, it offers exceptional privacy, serenity, and generous indoor-outdoor living.
a refined blend of minimalist cycladic architecture and contemporary elegance, the residence was conceived by an award-winning mykonian architect and crafted with natural materials that harmonize with the landscape. the approach winds through a private olive grove of over 65 mature trees, within a 6,250 sq.m. plot.
the home features a bright open-plan kitchen with wide-opening doors framing the sea views, anchored by a dining table for up to 12, and a comfortable living area that opens to a covered outdoor lounge overlooking the pool and the aegean.
the villa offers six bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and private terraces. two bedrooms, including the master suite, are located on the first floor with beautiful views across the aegean sea, molos valley and ampelas, while two additional bedrooms on the ground floor enjoy expansive terraces, a shared lounge area, and sea views as well. two independent studio suites provide added flexibility—one with direct access to the pool terrace and its own outdoor lounge with sea views, and a second in the basement with private entrance, kitchenette, and a characterful patio. the lower level also includes a gym/play room with table tennis, utilities, and ample storage.
approximately 450 sq.m. of interiors are complemented by 500 sq.m. of terraces and balconies. outdoors, a striking 103 sq.m. overflow swimming pool with three depth levels anchors the property, while the southeastern orientation offers natural shelter from northern winds, enhancing year-round enjoyment of the bbq, dining, and lounge areas. additional features include a garage, covered parking, a private water well, underfloor heating, and high-quality construction throughout.
two adjacent plots are also available for buyers wishing to expand the estate or explore investment opportunities. the first is a 5,900 sq.m. parcel with a building permit for a 300 sq.m. villa with a subterranean part, offered at €750,000. the second is a 6,200 sq.m. plot with a building permit for a 300 sq.m. above-ground villa, offered at €580,000, together offering the potential to create a substantial private enclave in one of paros’ most desirable locations.
naoussa is just a 7-minute drive away, the nearest beach is 7 minutes from the villa, and paros airport can be reached in approximately 30 minutes.
this property is eligible for both the golden visa and the greek non dom program.
