Although the standards of Estia remain high, each of the private villas in their portfolio has a unique character and charm.  The aim of Estia is to expose each guest to the natural beauty of Greece, and each whitewashed Aegean villa has been carefully selected to provide a home away from home.  Currently, Estia offers a collection of villages dotted across the idyllic island of Paros, but, owing to their growing reputation, they are expanding their operations across Santorini and Mykonos.

Working with a team of dedicated professionals, Estia are committed to providing experiences infused with Greek tradition.  Your private chef will demonstrate a passion for food and authentic Greek tradition, working tirelessly to showcase Greek produces with an emphasis on ingredients sourced locally from Paros.  To educate their guests about the history of Greek cuisine, cooking classes and culinary tours can be included in your villa stay, tailored to your specific needs and itinerary.  Culinary tours also offer the opportunity for guests to board a fisherman’s boat and, in the company of an excellent captain, embark on a tour around the coasts of Paros and Antiparos, learn about delicious seafood and attempt to land a catch themselves. 
 
Wine is a staple of Greek culture, particularly on Paros – almost 30% of Parian land is covered in vineyards that produce wines of the highest quality.  The breezy and mountain covered island is particularly famous for Malvasian grapes, which produces a dry, crisp white and, when blended with Mandilaria grapes, results in a soft red wine.  With Estia, guests can enjoy an in-depth tour of the Moraitis Winery where a wine expert with share the treasures of Greece’s wine culture.  But Estia do not simply provide engaging cultural activities – those in need of rest and relaxation can indulge in a healing massage, whilst adventurous guests can explore the Parian waters with a diving or windsurfing lesson.  Whatever you want from your Greek experience, Estia, proud to introduce you to the charms of Greece, will provide.
