It also boasts a long list of nightclubs, a wonderful array of fine dining restaurants, vibrant cocktail bars, classy boutiques and charming whitewashed villages. It is little wonder that Mykonos is a celeb mecca akin to Ibiza and Miami.
Ano Mera is just four minutes away from the villa. Sitting almost in the heart of the island, Ano Mera is incredibly picturesque. With classical Cycladic beauty, it offers quaint, scenic, narrow streets, traditional tavernas, unique shops and its famous monastery of Panagia Tourliani. The monastery was built in the 15th century and is one of the main attractions of the whole island. Ano Mera’s main square is pedestrianised and surrounded by charming cafes and tavernas who are renowned for their excellent Mykonian meats cooked on the spit and barbecue. You will also discover the ‘Kopanisti’ workshop where the local delicious spicy cheese is made.
Very close by is Kalo Livadi which is set in a valley sprinkled with sugar cubed homes. It comes with a stunning long ribbon of sand, sun loungers and straw umbrellas and some excellent watersports. With a laid back atmosphere, it is great for a relaxed beach day. The island’s beaches range from wide sandy stretches covered with top-of-the-range loungers and parasols and offering watersports and lively beach bars to quieter coves. Elia, Ornos, Psarou, Paraga, Paradise, Kalafatis and Plati Gialos are all firm favourites. Ornos Beach is one of Mykonos’ trendiest beaches offering many places to eat and is a frequent stop for many boats and yachts. Elia Beach, on the south coast of the island, boasts Mykonos’ longest sweep of sand. The rainbow flag at the end of the beach marks its LGBT stretch of sand. Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beaches, also on the south coast, are the home of some of the island’s most famous nightclubs.
Mykonos Town boasts an enchanting warren of spidery, narrow lanes covered in bougainvillea. Lavished with picturesque churches, quirky art galleries, chic boutiques, jewellery shops and charming restaurants, visitors love an afternoon meander. The town’s museums, the Archaeological Museum and the Aegean Martime Museum, are worth a stop. The ethereal beauty of Little Venice is a favourite haunt of highly acclaimed artists and Instagram followers. It is one of the most romantic places on the island with elegant old houses sitting on the edge of the sea creating a magical aura and an abundance of buzzy bars.
Tourlos is located on the north side of the island, just 2.5km from Mykonos Town. It enjoys a magnificent port, a stop for many cruise ships, and a smart harbour. The houses are freshly painted with colourful shutters and draped in vibrant bougainvillea and other pretty flowers. Many celebrities have chosen to build luxury villas here. The Chapel of St George Spilianos, north of the harbour, is delightful. It is built into the cavity of a rock with a lovely ambience and where you can light a candle.
