Get a Taxi

Since your trains are flexible and we are not sure what time you will arrive in Zurich, we have not arranged for a transfer.
There are many taxis outside the train station, and it will be very easy to hire one to get you to your next hotel!

This is a recommendation; no transfer has been booked by scenset.

Your Stay: Marktgasse Hotel

Why we love it for you: A stay set in two historic townhouses, right in the center of Zürich’s cobbled Old Town streets. Each mod-minimalist guest room is unique, but all have cloud-soft beds and period detailing. There's celebrated dining to enjoy too: re-imagined haute cuisine at Igniv or comforting 'pinsas' (a local variation on pizza) and cinnamon rolls at the more casual 'La Pinseria'. On sunny days the Igniv bar terrace is the place for chilled cocktails and people-watching.

Day 1: Paros

There is an old Greek saying that goes along the lines of 'When God wanted to recreate Heaven on Earth; he made Greece', and it's easy to see why. The crystal blue waters of the Aegean, the idyllic Cycladic islands, the relics and monuments of one of the most impactful civilizations that have persisted for a millennium; it's all just a fraction of the allure that enamors visitors to this sanctuary in the Mediterranean.

🚗
16:30 : Private Transfer

Upon arrival at Paros Airport, meet your English-speaking driver in the arrivals hall after baggage claim where they will be holding a sign with your name on it. You will then receive a transfer in a luxury minivan to your hotel for check-in.

Day 2: Paros

The local residents on Paros would tell you that their island is the most inviting of all the Cyclades. While they may be biased, it’s hard not to agree once you’re there. The gentle waves and sneaking coves beckon visitors like a siren’s song, and the people are so hospitable you may end up in someone’s home for family dinner. Brandishing its community spirit, Paros is also on track to become the first plastic-free island in the Mediterranean.

🍷
09:30 : Naoussa & Winery Tour

On your first morning in Greece you will be greeted by a local private guide who will accompany you throughout the day's experiences. Start your day exploring the vibrant, cosmopolitan village of Naoussa with its quaint cobblestone streets, and traditional Cycladic Architecture. Then visit a local winery, including a guided tour around the winery and organic vineyards. Conclude your tour with a tasting of the estate's best vintages.

09:30 : The Ancient Bysantine Trail

Through Paros’ green and flowery meadows, along hillsides and down into cool valleys, a path of weathered, grey marble flagstones meanders from the pretty hillside village of Lefkes to Prodromos, a small, old, fortified Cycladic settlement. This is the Byzantine Road, built about one thousand years ago as part of the main thoroughfare across Paros from Paroikia to Piso Livadi, at a time when the Aegean Sea was infested with pirates. Today, the Byzantine Road offers a lovely and only mildly strenuous amble that covers 3.5 kilometers, crossing the island’s interior. Departure to Lefkes. Visit of this lovely village and then time to start the exploration! Hiking until Prodromos village (duration: approximately 1 hour). Upon arrival in Prodromos, a light «mezze» with refreshment will be offered in a traditional tavern.

Start Time: Morning
Meeting Point: Hotel lobby
Duration: 4 hours

  • Don’t forget to wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes and absolutely avoid wearing flip flops. Sunblock, sunglasses, and a hat are a must. Lastly, don’t forget to bring a water bottle and lots of energy!
