If I had done thing to say about this place it would be Wow. In fact my vocabulary had been limited to four words since I dropped foot in Marinas Myloi In Folegandros. They are ´Oh my God’ and WOW!
The pictures and reviews do not do it any justice. Staying at Myloi is like taking a bite out of heaven. You almost don’t want to share your photos and experience because it’s been so blissful and you went to keep it available for the next time you visit.
And yes, There will be a next time.
I have travelled extensively. Argentina. Thailand. Kauai. Venezuela. Italy. Peru. I have stayed in treehouses and lavish penthouses.
Nothing comes close in comparison.
This adorable little nest has a pure minimal aesthetic with everything you would need. Eclectic and yet very typical in it’s Cycladic decor and build.
Besides a bed that cradles you like a baby, it’s simple bathroom and living area is like living in a little dollhouse.
Let’s leave the view for last because it’s simply breathtakingly mesmerizing.
I love the beach. And yet. I was very happy to spend all my time on the deck overlooking the vast expanse of the Aegean Sea. In fact I didn’t want to leave to go to thé beach. I would wake up exceptionally early ( not a morning person ) so I could brew a coffee and sit and be entranced.
I wouldn’t want to even consider staying anywhere else in Folegandros. No villa. No 5* hotel. Nothing would ever come close.
I happened onto this location and was very much welcomed by charming Polixeni, the host. She is just the cherry on the this pink cloud cake.
She is born and raised here and knows Folegandros inside out. She also does private small tours of which I partook. She is accommodating, kind, pleasant and funny. She told me where to go and where not to. She was generous and respectful as she lives on the property.
She picked me up from the port and dropped me off and was quick with any texts I had for her. She is the gem on this diamond of a nest.
If you’re thinking of renting Myloi just do it. In fact book ahead and book longer because I guarantee you, you will not want to leave. I don’t want to go home.
This is a magical island with a bewitching quality that takes you in.
Myloi and Polixeni are like the sweet honey that is Greece.
She is the queen bee and this is her honeycomb.
Book it. Or I will beat you to it.
