Parga's Hidden Gem: My Suite Boutique Hotel - Unforgettable Greek Escape
Parga's Hidden Gem: My Suite Boutique Hotel - An Unforgettable Greek Escape (and Maybe a Little Crazy)
Okay, listen up. Let me tell you about this place. My Suite Boutique Hotel in Parga. Forget the glossy brochures; this is real life. It’s a hidden gem, they say. And honestly? They're not wrong. But it’s more than just a "gem." It's like… a sparkly, slightly eccentric, incredibly charming… thing. And I’m still figuring out exactly what that “thing” is.
First Impression: The Good & The "Oh, That's Charming"
Getting there? Easy peasy. Parga is pretty accessible, which is a massive win. They actually have a pretty decent airport transfer service, which is super convenient after a long flight. The hotel itself? Stunning. Seriously. The photos don't even do the Pool with a view justice. It's… well, it’s breathtaking would be putting it mildly. Imagine sipping a cocktail (more on the Poolside bar and Happy hour later) while looking out at the Ionian Sea. Pure. Bliss.
Now, accessibility. This is something I always pay attention to. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, but I’m still on that one – need to dig deeper. I’ll keep it real: not everything is perfect, and sometimes, that's part of the charm. The Elevator exists, which is a HUGE plus. But, the overall impression I got, that the hotel is trying hard to deliver on accessibility.
The Stay is The Thing: Rooms, Comfort, and a Touch of Class (with a side of "Whoa, did I just see that?")
Let's talk rooms. We're talking Air conditioning, Free Wi-Fi, a Refrigerator, Coffee/tea maker, Minibar – all the essentials. The mattress? Stellar. Extra long bed is a serious win for a taller person like myself! The Bathtub, Separate shower/bathtub, and Bathrobes? Luxurious. Blackout curtains are a godsend for sleeping in - unless, of course, you, like me, have a habit of forgetting to set your Alarm clock. Oops.
Now, for the quirky part. One thing I particularly loved, the Room decorations. I’m a sucker for a bit of style. The Complimentary tea was a nice touch. Speaking of which, there’s Breakfast in room! So tempting! You can also get the Breakfast takeaway service, if you suddenly decide to hit the beach at sunrise.
Food, Glorious Food (and My Near-Death Experience with Baklava)
This is where things get really interesting. The Restaurants are fantastic! My only regret? Not trying the Asian cuisine in restaurant! Oops. From the Breakfast [buffet] (seriously, the Greek yogurt is divine!) to the A la carte in restaurants. It was heaven, honestly.
I had a near-religious experience with the Desserts in restaurant – specifically the baklava. Okay, deep breath… Picture this: a symphony of honey-soaked phyllo, perfectly toasted walnuts, and… and… perfection. I ate so much, I thought I might actually become a baklava. I nearly needed a Doctor/nurse on call (thankfully they’ve got one!). Seriously, be warned: it’s addictive.
Rest & Relaxation: Spa Time, Fitness Fails, and Sea Views (and More Rambling)
The Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Massage options are incredible. The hotel has a Gym/fitness center too. I, on the other hand, opted for the Pool with view and a sun lounger. The hotel also offers stuff like Body scrub, and Body wrap.
Safety First (and Second, and Third… Because, Travel)
Speaking of feeling safe: The hotel is top-notch with regards to Cleanliness and safety. Lots of Hand sanitizer everywhere, and a focus on Anti-viral cleaning products. I’m talking Daily disinfection in common areas Rooms sanitized between stays, and so on. Everything looked spotless. Plus, they have CCTV in common areas and Security [24-hour].
The Nitty-Gritty: Services, Conveniences, and the Occasionally-Odd
They have everything you could need: Currency exchange, Laundry service, Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Concierge. Cash withdrawal? Check. Luggage storage? Yep. The Front desk [24-hour] is a lifesaver. And a Convenience store for those midnight snack cravings.
But Back to the Food…
Oh man, the food! I can't get over it. They have Vegetarian restaurant, the Restaurant itself offers Salad in restaurant, the Soup in restaurant. They offer Asian breakfast, and Western breakfast. So much food!
Perfect for… (and Maybe Not for…)
This place is perfect for couples, families (they have Babysitting service, and Kids meal options), and anyone who just wants to escape. It’s got a romantic vibe (hello, Couple's room and potential Proposal spot!).

Yerevan Romance: Your Cozy Armenian Dream Apartment Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is my trip to My Suite Boutique Hotel in Parga, Greece, and let's just say… it's going to be messy. Prepare for some serious stream-of-consciousness, because honestly, that's just how my brain works.
My Messy, Magnificent Parga Adventure: A Totally Unofficial Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival, Disorientation, and the Sweetest Balcony Ever (Probably)
- Morning (7:00 AM - Ugh. Airplane Time): Wake up at the ungodly hour of… well, let’s not dwell on it. The airport commute is a blur of bleary-eyed anxiety and questionable coffee. Packed my suitcase the night before, mostly out of spite and a vague sense of preparedness. Fingers crossed I actually remembered toiletries this time. Last time, I looked like a swamp monster after two days.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM Local Time - Assuming the Flight Gods are Kind): Land in Preveza. The air here is already different. Like… cleaner? Saltier? Maybe I'm just dehydrated. Taxi! Or, hopefully a taxi. Fingers crossed Google Maps doesn't steer me into a goat herder's convention.
- Late Afternoon (3:00 PM - ish, depending on how lost I get): Finally, My Suite Boutique Hotel! Check-in. Pray to the travel gods that the room is as gorgeous as the pictures. Okay, deep breaths. First impressions are HUGE.
- Initial Reaction (Oh. My. Gods.): They weren't kidding. The photos don't do it justice. Clean lines, minimalist elegance… then the balcony. That balcony. I'm pretty sure I just gasped audibly. Sea view? Check. A tiny table? Potential for evening Prosecco consumption? CHECK. I might never leave this… this paradise. Probably spend the next hour just staring at the view.
- Evening (5:00 PM -ish): Wander into Parga. Get totally lost in a maze of tiny, whitewashed streets. Embrace it. It's part of the charm, right? Spot a promising taverna. Order something completely indecipherable off the menu. Pray it's delicious. Or at least edible.
- Dinner (7:00 PM-ish): Find my taverna, after circling the same three streets approximately five times. Moussaka. I've heard it's the national dish of Greece. I'm in. And the wine? Flowing. A little too freely, maybe. But hey, I'm on vacation! Observe the locals. They seem to be having more fun than me, likely because they aren't jet-lagged zombies. Try to decipher the Greek words I've studied on Duolingo. Mostly fail. Order more wine.
- Night (9:00 PM - who knows?): Back at the hotel. Balcony again. Prosecco. Stargazing. Feel the stress of the past year just… melt away. Maybe, just maybe, I can actually relax. Probably wake up at 3:00 AM with a sudden craving for baklava. Worth it.
Day 2: Beach Bliss (And a Potential Wardrobe Malfunction)
- Morning (9:00 AM - Finally, Sleep!): Wake up. Head throbbing, but glorious. The sun is shining, the birds are singing… I'm in Greece, dammit! Attempt to remember where I put my sunglasses. Success!
- Breakfast (10:00 AM -ish): "Hotel breakfast". The classic "what is it" buffet? Probably. Attempt to navigate it with a modicum of grace. Coffee. Lots of it.
- Beachbound! (11:00 AM -ish): Vouli Beach. Supposed to be amazing. Sunscreen. Check. Hat. Check. Swimsuit… wait a second. Did I pack the right swimsuit? Double-check. Oh dear. This could be disastrous. Hope the water's cold enough to distract from any potential… exposure.
- Afternoon (Beach Time!): Okay, Vouli Beach is stunning. Crystal-clear turquoise water. White sand. But… it's further than I thought. And I'm starting to feel the effects of the previous night's wine. So, there's that. Find a sunbed. Read a book (that I probably won't finish). Attempt to look effortlessly glamorous. Mostly fail. Enjoy the waves. The sun. The utter, blissful nothingness of it all.
- Mid-afternoon (Wardrobe Crisis Averted?): Well. The swimsuit mostly held up. There was a moment. A brief, terrifying moment. Let's just say there were some involuntary adjustments. Lesson learned: Always, always double-check the swimsuit situation. Order a cocktail to recover.
- Evening (7:00 PM -ish): Dinner. Maybe a different beachside taverna. Maybe. Order way too much food. Regret it. But enjoy it anyway. Perhaps the same moussaka place as last night. Or maybe a different one to mix it up. Or something else entirely.
- Night (Who Knows?): Head back to the balcony. Contemplate the meaning of life. (Or maybe just what to eat for a midnight snack.)
Day 3: Boat Trip, History and… Shopping?! (The Horror)
- Morning (8:00 AM -ish): Start the day with a slightly less aggressive alarm. Boat trip booked!
- Morning (9:00 AM): Trying to quickly find the boat, which is proving more difficult than anticipated. The charming, winding streets have now become my enemy.
- Morning (10:00 AM): SUCCESS! Jump aboard the boat to Paxos and Antipaxos, looking expectantly at the blue waters.
- Morning/Afternoon (Boat Trip): Islands of Paxos and Antipaxos are beautiful, but the sea is rough! Many of my fellow travellers are green and seasick. I am not entirely immune. Keep pushing onwards!
- Afternoon (3:00 PM -ish): Back in Parga - finally. Head back to The Boutique Hotel.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM -ish): Visit the Venetian castle, even though the thought of a long walk is making me tired.
- Evening (7:00 PM -ish): Dinner at a nice restaurant in Parga. Attempt to try a traditional greek meal with a view.
- Night (9:00 PM): Relax and enjoy the balcony view.
Day 4: Goodbye, Paradise! (Sob)
- Morning (8:00 AM -ish): Last breakfast. Try to savor every bite. Feel a deep, profound sadness that this is all ending.
- Morning (9:00 AM -ish): Pack. Try to cram all the memories (and maybe a few souvenirs) into my suitcase. Realize I'll have to buy another suitcase.
- Morning/Afternoon (11:00 AM -ish): Check out of the hotel. Give the balcony a final, lingering stare. Swear I'll be back. Eventually. Maybe.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM -ish): Head to the airport. The familiar sense of dread returns.
- Afternoon/Evening (4:00 PM -ish): Fly home. Spend the entire flight reliving the trip. Start planning the next one. Because, honestly, I deserve another vacation. And those gorgeous beaches? They're calling my name.
Important Considerations (aka, The Realities)
- Food: I will overeat. It's practically a given. I will try (and probably fail) to eat everything. And I will definitely come home a few kilos heavier. Worth it.
- Sunburn: I'm ridiculously pale. Sunburn is a constant threat. Sunscreen is my best friend, but I also have a feeling I'll resemble a lobster at some point.
- Language: I will butcher the Greek language. I will misunderstand conversations. I will point and laugh (politely, hopefully).
- Relaxation: This is the ultimate goal. To switch off. To let go. To allow myself to be utterly, wonderfully, unapologetically me. Even if that means wearing the wrong swimsuit and getting lost in a sea of beautiful things.
This, friends, is the unvarnished truth
Namibia's Hidden Gem: Swakopmund Plaza Hotel Awaits!
So, what ARE we actually talking about here? Because I'm already confused, and it's only question one.
Honestly? Good question. That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? We're kinda… pondering life, the universe, and everything. Specifically, the weird bits. The stuff that keeps you up at 3 AM, staring at the ceiling and wondering if you accidentally offended your sourdough starter. Essentially, we're trying to wrestle some meaning out of the beautiful, chaotic, utterly unpredictable mess that is being human. And maybe, just maybe, learn a thing or two along the way. Or at least laugh a little to keep from crying.
Okay, deep breaths. Am I going to understand anything? My brain is starting to feel a little… squishy.
Understand everything? Ha! Honey, even the smartest people on Earth still can't figure out why socks disappear in the dryer. So, no guarantees. My goal here is to make some sense of things, but, truth be told, I'm just as bewildered as you are half the time. Expect a little rambling. Expect some tangents. Expect the occasional typo because, you know, I'm human (and not particularly well-organized). Expect honesty, and probably a few eye-rolls at my own dumb ideas.
Alright, spill the tea. What *exactly* are you *not* going to talk about?
Honestly, I'm going to try to avoid… well, anything too political, or anything that could be interpreted as *actively* harmful. I'm not a fan of getting cancelled, and I'm DEFINITELY not a fan of anyone feeling truly bad, whether through my fault or anyone else's. But other than that, the world is my oyster! I could *try* to steer clear of the highly sensitive minefields, but let's be real… I'm prone to wandering so, if I accidentally trip on one, I'll try to own up to it (eventually).
Are you going to be preachy? Because I REALLY hate preachy.
Ugh, preachiness. The absolute WORST. No, I don't plan on being preachy. I'm more of a "let's commiserate" kind of person. Think of it as a conversation with a friend who's also a bit of a hot mess. I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. I'm here to say "Hey, me too!" when something feels a little bit hard, a little bit weird, a little bit… *gestures wildly again*… life-y.
So, no concrete answers, got it. Great. Then what's the point?
The point? Good question! Maybe there *isn't* a single "point," huh? Maybe it's just about finding a few laughs, realizing you're not alone in your crazy, and maybe… just maybe… gaining a slightly better understanding of yourself and the world. Or at least, feeling a little less alone in your sheer bewilderment. Honestly? I'm not entirely sure. Just along for the ride, folks, just along for the ride. Oh! And also, I think the point is to make a connection. To remember we're all a little bit ridiculous, and a little bit… precious. And to try not to take ourselves too seriously, even when everything feels utterly, terribly, IMPORTANT.
Did I hear right? Sourdough starter? What *is* with that?
Oh, sourdough. Don't even get me STARTED. It's a metaphor for life, basically. You start with something simple, a bit of flour and water, hope for the best, and then… it either blooms into this glorious, bubbly, *delicious* thing, or it turns into a stinky, moldy, sad little blob. And, oh boy, did I have blob. My first sourdough attempt? Disaster. I spent weeks coddling this… thing… feeding it, monitoring it like a newborn baby (which, fun fact: I also have!), fretting over its temperature, whispering sweet nothings into its bubbling depths… Only to have it *refuse* to rise. The bread, when I finally baked it, was flatter than a pancake that'd been run over by a steamroller. The taste? More like *sour-dough-n't* . Total letdown. But you know what? I learned. I learned patience (a virtue I sorely lack). I learned to embrace the imperfections. I learned that even when your sourdough fails, there's always a slightly better, less flat loaf on the horizon. And that, my friends, is a life lesson, if I ever heard one. And now, you know, I have a thriving starter. And a slightly inflated ego about it. It's the little victories, folks, the little victories.
So, you're telling me this is going to be about... me?
In a weird sort of way, yes. You, me, the grumpy cat on the internet, the stranger on the bus, the barista who always spells your name wrong... We're all in this together. And that's the beauty of it all, isn't it? The shared, messy, joyfully imperfect experience of being human.
