First off, @AirBNB please take note—this is an example of an extraordinary host.
Dimitris even picked me up at the airport to personally bring me to the property while explaining the lay of the land along the way. For a first-timer in Mykonos, this was invaluable.
Here’s the breakdown from a super picky Manhattanite:
PROS:
A beautiful, private house all to yourself
A beautiful, funky house with a beautiful back patio overlooking the ocean
Essentially your own private ocean (with rocks instead of sand but still awesome).
Remote location—yet not too far away
Kick-ass host who is very go w the flow
Super cozy bed
A/C
Good kitchen
Unforgettable sunsets
CONS:
You are not in the center of Mykonos
You definitely need transport (I had an ATV which was amazing).
Couldn’t stay forever. I would have. Trust.
So, once you realize/get over the fact that the town and all of the go-to beaches and beach clubs are a 15-30 min drive away—you realize that you’re in a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary with (essentially) your own private ocean. Yes, I did skinny-dip and loved every second of it.
Enjoy! I know I did.
