The people of Despotiko
Immortalized in action, the protagonists responsible for the excavation and restoration of the antiquities at Despotiko, off the coast of Antiparos, were captured by Mary Chatzaki over the duration of the project.
The discreet charm of the old aristocracy
The Crispi Mansion
A building emblematic of Parikia’s history and cultural identity is located at Lt Gravaris Street and is easy to recognize from its characteristic arch with a gutter in the shape of a lion head. This year the mansion opens its doors to the public, within the context of the First Festival of Paros due to take place at Parikia on the 13th, the 14th and 15th of July and welcomes its visitors by offering them the opportunity to see behind the walls of this historic house and feel for a while as part of the local history and identity of Parikia.

NOE Ceramics
Articles for daily use & decoration objects
Since 2000 we have been creating beautiful articles for daily use as well as decoration objects in our little Ceramics Studio in the south of the Greek Cyclades-island Paros. We design, form, paint and glaze each piece, individually by hand and with utmost care. We use environmentally friendly lead-free paint and for firing our ceramics we use sustainable power from our own solar panels.

Self-organisation, self-management, culture and sustainability
As the years go by, I just see their repercussions on me, how music affects the body, the mind and the soul, no matter what post you serve it from... As I have dealt with many things in my life, in many different fields, I have come to believe that the only certain thing is that music never lets you let it go.
Maro Voulgari
Paros has always been my destination
After a long and adventurous journey in the media Maro Voulgari anchored, probably for good, at the port of Naoussa. The Delicatessen Beehive appears to represent all her passions: a journey in tastes, natural beauty and the authentic character of the Cycladic gastronomy.
Marios Salmatanis
Thalassamou was a big bet for me
From "Salmatanis" restaurant in Kifissia to Alyki of Paros. The renowned chef, a graduate of the Ecole de Gastronomie Ritz Escoffier de Paris, “built dreams on the sand” and won the bet at once!
Maria Stini
Art is like breath, without it you die
I was fascinated by the beauty and serenity of this island which could inspire me as an artist; I held many exhibitions –oil, acrylic paintings, water colours-inspired mainly by the local environment.
George Kavallis
I had a passion for capturing the beauty of the Cyclades
Since I was a student I had a passion for capturing, through photography at first, the beauty of the Cycladic architectural austerity of both built and non-built areas with their dry-stone walls, the wine presses, the threshing floors and the nature’s unique biodiversity.
