An Ode to Amphitrite Platis Gialos, Mykonos

Property Description

Although this bayfront villa is simple in its style – think cream-coloured sofas, crisp white walls and uncluttered spaces – there's still plenty of traditional character inside. We love the exposed stone and wooden ceilings, which blend seamlessly with the minimalist design to create a home you want to spend time in. The best part is the terrace, where you can easily while away lazy afternoons in the pool, admiring the bird's eye view of Psarou Bay. Come dinnertime, cook up a storm on the barbecue and dine alfresco under the pergola, sharing a bottle of wine and watching the sunset on the water. We don't know about you, but that sounds like heaven to us.

When you're in the mood to explore, you're just a ten-minute drive from multiple beaches, including the buzzing Paradise Beach resort and Platis Gialos. This area is a popular spot on the island, home to water sports like parasailing, beachside bars and delicious eateries aplenty. Hop on a taxi-boat to discover more secluded beaches along the coast, or to make things even more exciting, ask your host about renting a yacht or arranging a helicopter ride.

Home truths:
*The fourth bedroom is an exterior studio that can sleep one guest – it's a good option for those wanting a little extra privacy
*There's an outdoor shower to wash off your sandy toes
*We suggest renting a car as the beach isn't within walking distance – there's private parking available
*If needed, the dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace
