Bonus hot new hotel we can't stop talking about: Mythic Paros

Think of Paros as the Aegean's cool older sister, an idyllic island getaway frequented by in-the-know locals and savvy travelers craving something blissfully laid-back, a bit more quiet and off the beaten path.

Sound like a dream? It is. To take your trip to Paros up another level, head to Mythic. This 40-room, boho-chic gem checks alllll the boxes. We love the sleek, nature-inspired decor, replete with handsome wooden accents and an effortless serenity. The wellness and spa offerings are on point (one of the best hotel gyms, holistic treatments that incorporate natural Greek ingredients, an outdoor yoga pavilion with panoramic ocean views), and the food is both ultra-nourishing and delicious. It's the stylish Aegean retreat you didn't know you needed.
