Despite all of the perception that Mykonos is crowded and overrun with tourists, look no further than this villa. It’s location is ideal, as evidenced by the photographs which show its location in relation to Mykonos old town. It was a 5 minute drive to the nearest beach (Ornos) and 15 minutes to the old town. Also a short 3-4 minute drive to the nearest grocery store, bakery, and charcuterie. The villas location is perfectly located to explore the many beaches along the south side of the island (the best).
We traveled with a group of nine, and everyone had their own bedroom. The bedrooms are located in three separate buildings on the compound, all positioned in a escalating fashion up the side of the hill which houses the property. The distance between them was truly minimal. The central villa is adjacent to the pool deck and 2 separate dining areas, one enclosed in glass and the other truly open air. Although we were here at the beginning of June, my understanding is the wind is significant during the peak summer months, so the former may be a suitable option during those times.
Remy...what can I say, other than she was a dream come true! Every morning she prepared breakfast, every afternoon lunch (the days we were at the villa) and every evening dinner (minus the times we ate out). She offered to do our laundry each morning. She had a grocery list of pre-requested items waiting when we arrived. She cleaned the rooms every other day, changing towels. She lit anti-mosquito incense every evening in all the rooms. We wanted to take her home with us! At no time was her presence obtrusive or bothersome...she seemed to jut appear at the right time and no needs went unmet!
Villa Kanalia exceeded all our group’s expectations!!
