Mykonos Villas Our villas in Mykonos epitomize the traditional ‘sugar cube‘ villas of the Cylades against a backdrop of whitewashed villages and blue domed churches overlooking a sparkling sea enjoying a long summer season.
INTRODUCTION
Our villas in Mykonos range from those close to Mykonos Town, such as Les Soleils de Rhenia and White Pearl, ideal for those who enjoy a little nightlife, to more peaceful villas, such as Villa Eurydice and Blue Living. All share a style typical of the Cyclades, with whitewashed walls and calming décor.
Mykonos is arguably the most popular of the Cycladic islands due to its natural beauty and lively nightlife. Mykonos Town is the archetypal Greek island village, with its whitewashed cube-shaped houses, narrow alleyways and bustling port from where ferries carry guests over to the nearby island of Delos. For the culturally curious, the Archaeological Museum has an excellent collection of finds which provide an insight into ancient Cycladic civilisation, largely discovered on Delos. Similarly, the Folk Museum in the old part of Mykonos Town details a more recent history of life on Mykonos and includes the 16th century Vonis Windmill. Other museums worth visiting include the Maritime Museum of the Aegean and the Municipal Art Gallery. Close to the old town of Mykonos sits the small district of Venetia, or Little Venice, the artist’s quarter.
Visitors flock to Mykonos as much for the beaches as it's lively nightlife and bustling main town, and one of the best is Platys Gialos. However, the islands interior should not be missed as this is where traditional life remains much as it has for centuries. Traditional Ano Mera, with its 16th century monastery, is an example of such a small village which retains its Cycladic heritage.
For those who can tear themselves away from their private pool or the beaches of Mykonos, the tiny island of Delos is home to one of the most important archaeological site in Greece, including the magnificent Lion Terrace and 300 BC Theatre, built to hold 5,500 people.

PRACTICAL INFO
Greece operates on GMT + 2 hours.
Modern Greek (as opposed to Ancient) is the national language of Greece. Vernacular speech contains many borrowings from foreign languages, including Italian, French, Turkish and English, so you may hear some familiar words in everyday speech. “Tourist Police” whose lapel badges picture a Union Jack or American flag speak English. In Greece, people whose work brings them into contact with visitors from overseas are generally excellent English speakers.
The Euro, divided into 100 Cents.
Travellers cheques can easily be converted into Euros; some larger stores will take them as payment. Smaller denominations are preferred. Major credit cards are widely accepted (though American Express less so) and ATM access is widespread.
Like most European countries, tipping in restaurants is common, with a recommended 10% on a discretionary basis according to service. Check that a service charge has not been added to your bill before deciding whether to tip. Taxi drivers do not usually expect a tip but it is common practice and considered polite to round up taxi fares.
Greece enjoys a typically Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and cool, occasionally wet winters. Summer temperatures can reach the upwards of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and sun protection in the form of sun cream, a sun hat and lightweight clothing is recommended.
Style is fairly casual throughout Greece though in more rural areas and during Easter more conservative dress may be observed, for example covered shoulders. Cathedrals, churches and other religious sites require conservative dress. Both sexes should cover their arms, legs and shoulders. Cotton and other light fabrics are comfortable choices for summertime as the heat can be extreme during summer months. You are advised to take lightweight light coloured items, including a sun hat to protect your skin from the affects of sun damage. Spring and autumn temperatures dictate light to medium-weight clothing selections and in winter you will need a pullover and a coat. When dining at better restaurants and for any special occasion during your journey, dress is more formal. For gentlemen, a “jacket and tie” standard is appropriate, with an equivalent standard of eveningwear for ladies. Bring comfortable walking shoes with low or no heels.
