This villa hosted by Thanos is an absolute gem on the island! Great location only 10 mins from Mykonos Town. When you arrive and see the beautiful breathtaking views with the stunning infinity pool you really do have a Wow moment! The pool is a great size and its just lovely to swim in, which we did in the morning before the beach. The two cottages side by side which are built into the rocks are greek local chic with a boutique hotel style, as an interior fan myself I loved the decor and the pictures hanging on the walls are hand painted by the owner Helene. What's also great about this villa is there an opportunity to have a little separation or privacy for a group of 4 friends of even a family of four, because they are side by side but both have small kitchen and separate bathrooms if needed!
Thanos is a great host and he is there to help with anything you need, he guided us to get a car and we were so pleased we did so, it was arranged for us to collect at the airport when we landed and dropped off when we left, it was a very reasonable price so absolutely arrange via him vs booking yourself. We drove all over the island going to different beaches, everything is no more than 20 minutes away and you really get to experience the whole island. You also need the car to reach the villa, its quite a steep walk up from the main road.
My only one regret is that I didn't get to spend enough time talking with the owners Lefti & Helene who live above the cottages. What absolutely amazing people, so welcoming and interesting to talk to and learn about their lives living on Mykonos island. This has been their home since 1978 and now us very lucky travellers have been invited and given the opportunity to share it with them. Lefti arrives to welcome you and has a beer, so many recommendations he gave us such as breakfast at Progress, we went twice to Appoggio at Ornos beach as the fresh fish was amazing and Niko's tavern in Mykonos Town behind the Town Hall. Lefti also gave us fresh figs from the tree which were so sweet, we were offered his fine wine for an evening we planned to have a bbq and then shared some orange cake on the last day of our trip. Nothing is too much trouble and you are made to feel so welcome! Such lovely people who touched my heart....Thank you so much again for your hospitality!
Other great recommendations from us were Kiki's Tavern for lunch (you cant book you have to wait and queue for the local food but its is fantastic) & Spilia Restaurant for lunch or dinner, which is bit more up market price wise but if you want something special the setting is stunning and food excellent. Also, getting the sea bus and hopping on and off at a number of beaches was really good fun to do.
All I can say is we cant wait to go back next year!
