Votsalaki Resort
It only took an hour from landing to arriving at Emmanouela's resort, located right by Paradise Beach, not far from the airport; the beginning of a seamless stay on Mykonos, an island that has mesmerisingly turquoise waters, many beautiful beaches - especially Elias, Kalafatis and St. Stefanos Beach in the less touristy areas - and charming villages - Mykonos town being our personal favourite.
We were welcomed warmly and were given tips and suggestions about restaurants and places of interest. Throughout our stay, Emmanouela and her team always made sure that we were satisfied. Votsalaki Resort, designed and built by her brother Konstantinos, couldn't have been more perfect: The room was tastefully decorated and cleaned daily, the bar and lounge area by the infinity pool was fantastic and having other extras such as a gym was a nice bonus. Moreover, we had a stunning view from our terrace, from which we could see Delos and Nixos and the occasional sunset. The only small downside to our stay was the noise after nightfall as Emmanouela states in her description. Having said that though, this only affected the 3rd and 4th person having to sleep at the front of the room/house facing the sea. Apart from that, we had an amazing week full of sunshine, exploring the island by car (highly recommended), taking a bus to the centre (running every half hour) and in general enjoying the Greek hospitality and way of life. A big thank you to Emmanouela and her team who did a fantastic job and whom we wish many more prosperous summers.
