Cosme – Paros, Greece
Designed as a natural extension of the fishing village of Naoussa, in clean, bold whitewashed lines, Cosme is for the discerning traveller. The brief was for a timeless and authentic Cycladic experience, and the strong connection with the culture and traditions of Paros shines through. On the shores of a crystalline crescent bay, with a village-style layout and meandering paths, it is full of local and wider Mediterranean elements and native planting.
An eclectic mix of classical and modern Greek artwork and sculptures decorate both inside and outside with colours evocative of the Aegean. It is cosmopolitan and laidback and comes with its own beach club.

Paros is fringed by idyllic beaches, with calm coves perfect for swimming. Reach them by car, or by caique – the traditional boats used around these waters.
The vibrant village of Naousa, with its traditional architecture tumbling right to the water’s edge, is best seen early morning as the fishermen return with their catch, whilst Parikia with its amphitheatrical water setting and 13th Century castle is worth exploration.
Water sports enthusiasts will not be disappointed, with an enormous choice of sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, diving and snorkelling. Or if you prefer drier pursuits, the interior of the island is spectacular with many hiking trails, rewarding you with vistas of outlying islands, blue-domed churches and traditional whitewashed villages. It is an island full of charm and possibility.
