Magical Mykonos

The Greek island of Mykonos is situated in the South Aegean Sea. The holiday resorts there have beautiful pools with lovely pool-side areas, some shaded from the sun. The beaches are sandy and slope very gently towards the sea making the waters very safe for children and swimmers. There are ancient sites to see on Mykonos too, some seemingly out in the wilds surrounded by poppies. Very pretty. Many beautiful yachts anchor off the coast, and some of the hotels are right at the edge of the sea with wonderful views of mountains beyond in the distance. Some cruise ships pull in at Stefanos Beach, Mykonos. There are also very smart apartments to accommodate you. The beautiful Greek windmills are on Mykonos as on many of the other Greek islands. The hotels and their gardens are very well looked after. And….how about a little midnight bathing in a pool when there is a full moon!!

It seems that whichever hotel you stay at in the resort of Agios Ioannis the service will be excellent and you will be able to enjoy spectacular views. The restaurants there have received good reviews too, being welcoming, they say, with great food and which are great value for money. Apparently Agios Ioannis is not expensive at all. Sound like your sort of place??!! The resort is also relaxing and romantic.

In the area of Mykonos Town holiday resort there are lots of lovely old windmills, and buildings right down into the water and up on top of the cliffs. Picturesque.

Most of the accommodation in Mykonos Town is self-catering apartments, studios and rooms to rent. The town is certainly very quaint and pretty to look at, with eating areas half indoors, half out, which gives a very nice feeling. You can eat at a table under the trees. Some of the areas around the hotel pools appear like platforms out into the calm sea. The sea water is hardly more disturbed than the water of the pool. The views from the hotel balconies are perfect - a bay encircled on one half by white buildings with maybe a cruise ship alongside the harbor wall. Palm trees. Idyllic really. There are romantic seaside cafes, where you can sit and watch the beautiful sunsets on the horizon across the sea. So peaceful, and great for a de-stressing holiday.

Ornos holiday resort on Mykonos is a small heaven, with a few tavernas, hotels and rooms. It is only 3.5 km from Mykonos Town. The tavernas are fantastic day and night. If you want more of a laid back atmosphere but close to the night life, then Ornos is the place! With transportation close at hand there is easy access to places you would like to see and explore. The food is wonderful in the tavernas where the atmosphere is great too. Holidaymakers who once go to Ornos on Mykonos tend to go back again, which is excellent recommendation.

The resort of Plati Yiabos is one of the most popular beaches of the island of Mykonos, filling with thousands of people during summer time attracted by the golden sand and the wonderful turquoise crystalline waters.

Plati Yiabos is a fully organized beach, with many hotels lined up along the front. Here many people walk straight down to the beach from their rooms. Quite a nice long beach. You can enjoy a drink on the beach on loungers with seats and table.

From Plati Yiabos, regular taxi-boats go to the beaches of the southern coast of Mykonos. You could hire one of these for a change one day perhaps.

Have a look at all the accommodation on offer on the island of Mykonos. Something may well take your fancy, especially if a very lazy holiday is what you want.
