Hiking, Swimming, Yachts and Wine

Where To Shop (reviews)

Lefkes Village Shops, Paros

Santorini: Santo Wines (Megalochori) is not just a winery but also a premier destination for unique local products. Visitors can explore a wide range of Santorini's famed wines, olive oils, and gourmet products.
Paros: The Lefkes Village Shops are located in a traditional inland village that offers a serene shopping experience away from the tourist crowds. The village's narrow, winding streets are home to charming shops and boutiques that sell a variety of handmade goods and local products.
Crete: Elafonisi is not only famous for its stunning beaches but also for its artisan shops that offer a variety of handmade crafts and local products. These shops are perfect for finding unique souvenirs while enjoying the natural beauty of Crete.

The Greek Isles entice us to check the price of a flat on every visit. Why would we want to leave? Planning a visit? You can find the full details, photos, and links from this week here.
