Luxury Villas in Mykonos

You could easily while away your days simply shopping, wandering and sunbathing – but there’s so much more to see and do in Mykonos! You’ll likely stumble upon some of the many churches scattered across the island but make a point of visiting Panagia Paraportiani – undoubtedly the most photographed and artistically intriguing.

Looking for something to accompany an afternoon cocktail? Couple your drink with a sunset view of the iconic Kato Mili windmills, reaching tall above Little Venice. For a more traditional holiday activity, arrange an evening yacht cruise around the island’s southern coast.

Speaking of sailing, we’d suggest taking a day trip to the nearby island of Delos – not only is it said to be the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, the twin gods, but it’s also peppered with old public squares and amphitheatres. You’ll certainly want to keep your camera at the ready! Consider even taking the ferry to Santorini – just 2-3 hours away!

It’s no surprise that exceptional seafood takes precedent on restaurant menus across Mykonos, but the island is also known for growing ample fresh produce. A favourite on the island is louza, thin slices of lightly spiced pork.

If you’re looking for a snapworthy setting and even more Instagrammable dishes, head to Principote on Panormos beach for contemporary Mediterranean cuisine in unparalleled surroundings.

What’s more, be sure to sample the island’s delicious cheeses. You’ll love kopanisti – a thick, creamy variety best enjoyed spread across bread. It’s also served solo as an appetiser and goes great with a glass of exceptional local wine.

If you’re in need of a sweet treat, try lazarakia. These handmade biscuits are meant to resemble Lazarus and are sprinkled with sugar and raisins. Almond cookies flavoured with rose or orange will also catch your eye in bakery windows across the island, and don’t miss a slice of sweet melopita honey pie, which is filled with tirovolia cheese.

Great for babies

You can certainly embrace a more laid-back pace of life here, allowing your little one to take their first dip in the safe and warm waters.

Great for kids

They’ll adore playing on fine sand beaches, splashing in the shallows or even giving water sports a go.

Great for teens

Older ones will love how Mykonos looks on their social media feed while lazing on loungers and sampling all the delicious Greek food.

How Mykonos transforms as the stars come out! You go from a sunshine-drenched paradise, complete with crisp, clean buildings and soft sands, to one of the liveliest club scenes in Europe. There’s truly something for everyone.
