This summer, escape the rush. Embrace the rhythm of the Mediterranean where slow mornings stretch into sun-drenched afternoons and evenings glow with shared food and sea-salted air. GREYMINT’s Slow Summer Guide invites you to rediscover summer through thoughtful travel, natural beauty and mindful design.
Explore the shores of Çeşme, Paros and Mallorca—four destinations where simplicity, texture and connection are celebrated.
Çeşme, Turkey: Olive Trees, Slow Mornings and Sunset Rituals
At the western edge of Turkey, Çeşme moves at its own gentle pace. Start your day with breakfast at Apero Alaçatı, a spot that embodies slow living with curated local ingredients and hand-poured coffee. Wander the Alaçatı Old Town, where whitewashed stone houses and colorful doors create a perfect pastel labyrinth for the slow traveler.
For lunch and swimming head to Before Sunset Beach Club, watching the sun melt into the sea with a glass of chilled rosé. Spend the golden hours swimming, in Çeşme’s beautiful clear turquoise water and dramatic rocky textures.
End your day at Horasan, a seafood gem known for fresh, simple Aegean flavors. After dark, sip cocktails under olive trees at Nook Alaçatı, where time slows down and laughter lingers.
Stay at Manastır Alaçatı, a boutique hotel tucked between citrus trees and handcrafted stone walls—a place where GREYMINT’s textures feel right at home.
Paros, Greece: Cycladic Calm and Terracotta Dreams
Paros invites you to breathe slower. Wake up in the soft light of Parīlio Hotel, a peaceful retreat that blends Cycladic architecture with modern serenity. Spend your afternoon swimming in the sculpted rock pools of Kolymbithres Beach, where the sea has shaped the landscape into natural art.
Enjoy dinner at Monastiri Paros, a coastal taverna serving grilled octopus, fresh salads and wine under pine trees. Wander the streets of Lefkes Village, a mountain town untouched by time—ideal for an evening stroll among white stairs, quiet churches and pink bougainvillea.
Mallorca, Spain: Stone Fincas and Summer Stillness
Mallorca’s inland calm and coastal energy create a rhythm that invites restoration. For a stay wrapped in wellness and olive groves, check into Finca Serena, where the scent of lavender mixes with morning stillness. Or choose Son Rullan, a historic hilltop finca near Deià where olive wood furniture and mountain views frame each moment.
Swim at Cala Deià, a cove beloved for its raw beauty, pebbled beach and clear waters. Spend slow afternoons in Palma, wandering the old town’s stone alleys and visiting La Rosa Vermutería for local tapas and vermouth.
Shop at Sonmo, a boutique where timeless craftsmanship meets understated elegance—where everything feels as if it could belong in a GREYMINT summer table.
