Sunset Picnic

Imagine unwinding on a secluded beach at sunset, your table set with Greek delicacies, candles flickering, and the gentle sound of waves as your soundtrack. That’s essentially what the Sunset Picnic tour offers—an intimate, custom-crafted experience designed to turn a simple meal into a memorable celebration. Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or just craving a peaceful, gourmet retreat, this experience promises a blend of authenticity, exclusivity, and local charm.

What we love about this tour? First, it’s tailor-made, meaning every detail can be customized to fit your occasion—be it a romantic proposal, birthday, or just a relaxed day with friends. Second, the experience is set in private or semi-private locations on the island, away from the usual crowds. The setting, paired with Greek gourmet cuisine and thoughtful decor, creates a genuine sense of escapism. However, a potential consideration is that beaches in Paros are public, so complete privacy isn’t always guaranteed, especially if privacy is your top priority. Still, the effort to choose the most protected spots during windy days is a plus.

This experience suits travelers who appreciate local flavors, enjoy peaceful surroundings, and want a bespoke, worry-free setup for a special occasion. If you’re after a stylish and relaxed way to enjoy Greece’s natural beauty with loved ones or a partner, this picnic could be just the ticket.

A Closer Look at the Sunset Picnic Experience

When we first learned about this tour, what caught our attention was its commitment to creating a personalized, stress-free setting for enjoying Greece’s spectacular scenery. The idea of having a handmade low wooden picnic table, surrounded by plush pillows, blankets, and floral arrangements, instantly conjures images of a chic, bohemian-inspired retreat. It’s clear that comfort and aesthetics are thoughtfully considered, making it more than just a meal—it’s an experience.

The Setting and Locations

The tour’s main focus is on selecting locations that are as private as possible, setting the stage for an authentic, peaceful escape. Since beaches in Paros are public, the organizers strive to choose spots that minimize exposure, often protected from wind and crowds. If privacy isn’t the main concern, they can also accommodate on public beaches when conditions allow.

The location choice is crucial. The wind on Paros can be a challenge, especially in the late afternoon, but the team is experienced in selecting the best-protected spots to keep your picnic comfortable. You’ll receive a pin on the day of the activity to find your ideal beach spot, adding an element of adventure to your sunset.

The Gourmet Menu

The highlight for many is undoubtedly the Greek gourmet menu. It includes a bottle of wine, a meze platter with local products, fresh salads, fruits, and a sweet dessert—an easy way to indulge without worrying about logistics. The bread assortment and refreshments round out the meal, making it a well-rounded, satisfying experience.

For those celebrating something special, add-ons like Champagne, cheese, cold meats, or flowers are available. These extras can elevate the experience from lovely to unforgettable, whether it’s a proposal or a birthday. The inclusion of tableware, candles, lanterns, and decorations ensures the setting is both functional and beautiful.

What to Expect in Terms of Service

The team also provides assorted pillows and blankets, perfect for lounging or cozying up as the sun dips below the horizon.
