Retreat Paros - The Arch Apartment, Parikia

Retreat Paros - The Arch Apartment is a compact, restful base in Parikia, Greece, suited to travellers who want to be close to town while still having a quiet place to recharge. The apartment sits on Λοχαγού Κορτιάνου, putting you within an easy walk of Parikia Beach and the historic Church of Ekatontapyliani, both about 1 km away. Guests consistently highlight the soundproof rooms, which help take the edge off street noise when you’re ready for an early night. A terrace adds a simple outdoor spot for morning coffee or an evening pause after exploring the island.

With a guest rating of 9.2/10 from 30 reviews, the feedback points to a smooth, comfortable stay and careful cleaning between visits. Reviewers also mention that the property follows staff and hygiene protocols, including enhanced cleaning standards effective against Coronavirus, with physical distancing rules in place and rooms disinfected between stays. If you’re planning to cover more of Paros, the on-site car hire service is a practical touch for reaching Kolymbithres Beach (around 7 km) or heading toward Lefkes (about 15 km).

This is best for couples and solo explorers who prefer a calm, self-contained stay in Parikia rather than a hotel with lots of shared spaces. Families may find it works well for short, low-key trips, but the apartment setup suits travellers who don’t need on-site dining or extra services beyond what’s offered here.
