And Then God Said, Let There Be Greece.

Be Lost In Mykonos (if you are lucky)

The rocky islands of this archipelago were formed thousands of years ago after one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. In the ensuing centuries, Mykonos played a vital role in the development of Greek and Minoan culture. Today, with its breathtaking scenery and charming whitewashed villages, it is a naturally romantic vacation mecca. Modern attractions include a burgeoning wine industry, excellent restaurants, and water sports, besides a world renowned vibrant party vibe, all set against the shimmering, turquoise backdrop of the Aegean Sea. Mykonos has attracted an eclectic crowd over the years, from bohemian backpackers to Jackie O, but the 17-mile by 10-mile island is well and truly gentrified now, and still as beautiful as ever with luxury villas to match.

If you’re spending several days in Greece, consider visiting other islands before or after staying in Mykonos. Santorini and Crete are two popular destinations. Private boats and public ferries can whisk you around the Aegean Sea. Whilst here, get a feel for the island’s history while exploring the excavated ruins or Sample the vino at an established Winery or understand olive oil at a production plant on a guided tour.
It’s the stuff postcards are literally made of.

Beyond simply nightclubs and the hedonistic party vibe. The Greek island of Mykonos has, just like Ibiza, a calmer family-friendly side.
Head away from the main towns and you'll find another side to this beautiful island on a luxury villa holiday. Ancient culture, sleepy villages and secluded beaches can be found if partying is not your thing. So if you are planning a family holiday with the children or a fun-packed trip with a group of friends, our lovely luxury villas in Mykonos will tick all the boxes. A spot of leisurely shopping gets no better than this on a luxury villa holiday. For a more cultural gad about town, head for the old capital of Ano Mera to soak up some ancient Mykonian culture in its beautiful chapel and market square festooned with bougainvilleas.
 Indulge yourself in any of our villas below, all of them are beach fronts with air con bedrooms, private swimming pools & cooks on call.

Best places to eat and drink
The old town will leave you spoiled for choice. Lose yourself in the rabbit warren of tiny cobbled streets and alleyways in the old town. There’s a plethora of family-run restaurants and tavernas that you’ll never tire of exploring whilst on a luxury villa holiday in Mykonos.
You can’t go far wrong with Uno Con Carne in Mykonos town. Opened as a steakhouse a few years ago, this Mykonos staple is now an oyster bar, too. Fresh seafood and Black Angus beef, all set in an atmospheric former art deco open-air cinema – what’s not to like?
For pre-dinner drinks or an evening out of your luxury villa, try the fresh fruit cocktails at Scarpa in Little Venice. Or for something very upmarket but just a little different, visit Astra Bar on Tria Pigadia Street, designed by distinguished jeweller, Minas, and boasting a ceiling with 2,500 lights depicting the constellations visible in the Northern Hemisphere’s night sky. We did say ‘different’

Best time to visit
To see the island in full swing, visit in July or August but, be warned, it will be lively! We think the best time to go is either just before or just after the main tourist season, either in May or June when the air is still fresh, or in September as the bulk of the tourists leave, but the sea is still warm enough to swim in all day and dusk.

What we love
Spending the day at Agios Sostis, a simply stunning beach in the north west of the island. Paddle in the clear waters and explore the tiny chapel, then eat barbecued seafood in local institution, Kiki’s restaurant, while watching the sun set on a very very blue ocean.

The warmest weather in Mykonos (and all the Greek islands) is between June and September when it’s sunny, hot, and the water is perfect for swimming. Water temperature heats throughout the summer months and is warmest in August and early September. Since most people go to Mykonos for the beaches (and related nightlife) it’s pretty quiet here in May and October though the weather is still very nice.
