Greek Cooking Lessons with Stella – A Culinary Adventure
Join our #1-rated Greek Cooking Class with Stella at Margarita in Ambelas and discover the flavors, stories, and hospitality of Paros through food.
The experience begins with fresh local ingredients, family recipes, and the warm atmosphere of our kitchen. Together, you will prepare traditional Greek dishes, learn simple techniques, and enjoy the meal you have cooked around the table — the way Greek food is meant to be shared.
More than a cooking class, this is a celebration of Greek hospitality, local flavors, and the joy of gathering together. It is one of the most authentic ways to connect with Paros, its people, and its culinary traditions.
Wine & Gastronomy in Paros – A Taste of the Island
Paros is an island to be tasted slowly — through its local wines, fresh seafood, seasonal ingredients, and traditional Greek recipes passed down through generations.
At Margarita Restaurant in Ambelas, guests can enjoy the flavors of Paros in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Inspired by Greek tradition and the simplicity of island life, our restaurant celebrates fresh ingredients, homemade dishes, and the warm hospitality that makes every meal feel personal.
For those who wish to explore more, a visit to a local vineyard offers a beautiful introduction to Parian wine and the island’s growing winemaking culture. Combined with a meal at Margarita Restaurant, it becomes a complete gastronomic experience — one that connects guests with the land, the sea, and the authentic taste of Paros.
From a glass of local wine to a dish shared with family or friends, every flavor tells a story of the island.
Live Like a Local – 6-Day Greek Cooking, Wine & Village Life Experience
For guests who want to go deeper than a single activity, our 6-day Greek cooking, wine, and village life experience offers a slower, more personal way to discover Paros.
Hosted at Margarita and led by Stella, this small-group experience brings together hands-on Greek cooking classes, local wine tasting, village walks, market visits, wild herbs, garden moments, and long shared meals around the table.
It is not a typical tour. It is a week of living like a local — through food, people, stories, and the everyday beauty of island life. Guests experience Paros through its flavors, traditions, landscapes, and warm human connections.

Windsurfing & Kitesurfing in Paros – Ride the Aegean Wind
Paros is one of the best islands in Greece for windsurfing and kitesurfing, thanks to the famous summer Meltemi winds and its beautiful sandy beaches.
Golden Beach and New Golden Beach are well known for windsurfing, while Pounda is one of the island’s most popular spots for kitesurfing and water sports. Whether you are a beginner looking for a lesson or an experienced rider chasing the wind, Paros offers exciting options for every level.
During your stay at Margarita, we can help guide you toward the right beach or local school depending on your experience, the wind conditions, and the kind of day you want to enjoy.
Sailing & Island Hopping in Paros – Explore the Aegean Sea with a Margarita-Curated Experience
The sea is one of the most beautiful ways to experience Paros.
From Margarita, guests can discover the magic of the Aegean through private or semi-private sailing trips, boat excursions, and island-hopping experiences around Paros and nearby islands. Swim in crystal-clear waters, explore hidden coves, visit sea caves, and enjoy unforgettable views of the Cyclades from the water.
One of the most loved sea experiences is a boat trip toward Antiparos, Despotiko, and the famous Blue Lagoon area, where the colors of the sea feel almost unreal. Depending on the route and the weather, guests may enjoy swimming stops, snorkeling, relaxed moments on board, and the simple pleasure of being surrounded by the deep blue of the Aegean.
Whether you dream of a romantic private cruise, a family boat day, or a relaxed group excursion, we can help guide you toward the right sailing or island-hopping experience during your stay at Margarita.
Hiking & Cultural Walks in Paros – Step into Island History
Paros is full of ancient paths, whitewashed villages, hidden chapels, olive groves, and quiet corners waiting to be discovered on foot.
One of the most beautiful walks on the island is the Byzantine path from Lefkes to Prodromos, an old stone trail that connects two traditional villages and offers a wonderful glimpse into the history, landscape, and everyday beauty of Paros.
Along the way, you can enjoy panoramic views, Cycladic architecture, peaceful countryside, and the slower rhythm of village life. For guests who love culture, nature, and gentle adventure, hiking in Paros is a beautiful way to experience the island beyond the beaches.
Festivals & Panigiri in Paros – Celebrate Like a Local
The heart of Parian culture comes alive during the island’s traditional panigiri festivals. Throughout the summer, villages celebrate with live music, dancing, local food, wine, and the warm energy of Greek island life.
For visitors, a panigiri is one of the most authentic ways to experience Paros like a local. It is not a staged event — it is a real community celebration where generations gather, music fills the village squares, and everyone is invited to join the rhythm of the night.
During your stay at Margarita, we are happy to share local tips about upcoming festivals and help you choose the best panigiri to experience while you are on the island.
