We would suggest lunch at Namos on Psarou Bay and perhaps Nobu for dinner in town. The shops in MYKONOS are open all night long and they are definitely worth a visit. We will organize cars for you to go into town in the early evening for a stroll around and hopefully to meet Peter the Pelican who wanders freely around the alleyways. In the evening, we can book any one of the famous restaurants and why not take a wander around some of the famous Mykonos bars to enjoy the nightlife the island is well-known for.

Wake up in PAROS in the bay of Kolimbithres for your morning of water sports. Wind and sea have sculpted the granite into smooth but bizarre shapes. Amongst the rocky outcrops is a succession of small, sandy coves of shallow, lucid blue water to be explored. Paros has its own BUTTERFLY VALLEY, The dappled shade and running water can make for a pleasant break from the scorching summer heat The luxuriant, leafy valley set in the hillside at Petaloudes is home to the Jersey Tiger moth, Euplagia quadripunctaria. The valley is actually a private garden but tourists are made warmly welcome by a small cafe with a fountain and well-marked paths through the undergrowth. A visit to the very graphic town of NAOUSSA for a glass of ouzo and a mezze at one of its myriad bars is also a must.

Visit the “Isodia tis Theotokou”, where the icon of “Panagia tis Akathis” – an icon of the Holy Virgin – is kept. In the evening, in the café of the main paved street there are impromptu feasts to the accompaniment of violin and lute and an abundance of food, ideally washed down by “raki”, a homemade brew which really packs a punch after a couple of glasses.
