Mare Mare Mykonos was perfect for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children). The apartment is located in a complex of several apartments which were mostly rented to vacationers as far as we could tell. Many of the units were rented to other traveling families. This was very much appreciated by our children who had many other children to play with both at the pool and the beach. Ornos Beach is an easy 1-2 minute walk from the apartment. Unlike what we heard about many other beaches on Mykonos, this beach was very family friendly. The beach is fairly shallow with little to no waves, which allowed for easy swimming by the children. The water was also very beautifully clear and blue, which was appreciated by the adults. The beach was lined with lounge chairs and umbrellas which we rented for 15 euros for an entire day for two lounge chairs. Restaurants also lined the beach. Walking further east along the beach (an additional 1-2 minutes) lead us to another street that had a very nice authentic greek restaurant which had good greek food at reasonable prices (??Leftides?) There was a small market up this same street which had everything we needed (total distance 5-6min walk from the apartment). Further up this street was the large AB Market which we did not require. This was near where the bus stop was to Mykonos town. The bus only took 5 min to take us from Ornos beach to Mykonos Town and cost only 1.80 euros.

The apartment itself was great. There were two balconies. One at the front entrance which we did not use and one off the family room which had cushions and afternoon shade. This balcony overlooked the pool which allowed us to enjoy afternoon drinks in the shade while watching the children play in the pool. There were two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds. There were also two sofas in the family room with one converting to a full sized bed. The unit, including the bathroom was clean and modern and bright. The windows and french doors had outside shutters which blocked out the sun and allowed for sleeping in later into the morning. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee, sugar and tea. The air condition was strong with 2 units, one in the bedroom with the queen bed and one in the family room.

Arrival and departure was smooth, with Katrina arranging for transportation in both directions in advance. She gave us her cell phone which we did not require.

We would stay at this apartment again and would recommend it to family and friends.
