ōrigín the Cycladic windmill experience

Perched above the azure curve of Kolympithres Bay, ōrigín invites you into one of Paros’ oldest and most storied buildings — a traditional windmill built in 1891, once used to grind wheat and bake bread for the island’s early inhabitants.

Restored with simple elegance and respect for Cycladic tradition, this cozy windmill features a peaceful double bedroom with handcrafted details, a bathroom with natural textures, soft lighting, and a bathtub for relaxing moments. In the small living area, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay — a coffee machine, mini fridge, and kitchen essentials like plates, glasses, and cutlery.

Outside, the experience continues with a private jacuzzi, a dining area, and breathtaking views over the famous Kolympithres Bay, where the sea meets sculpted granite rocks in beautiful patterns of light and color. The setting is calm, full of history, and surrounded by the soft sounds of nature.

To make your stay even more special, ōrigín offers optional experiences like Cycladic cooking classes and wellness sessions — all designed to help you relax, connect, and enjoy the island at your own pace.

Blending tradition with comfort, ōrigín is more than just a place to stay — it’s a peaceful escape into the past, created for today.

Whether you’re looking for quiet, romance, or inspiration, this is where it all begins.
