Astride the Aegean

Holiday Rental Description

With a prime position on the south coastline of Mykonos, this traditionally Cycladic villa is treated to spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and rocky outcrops bobbing about in the water. It's a panorama that will be as awe-inspiring on the fiftieth viewing as it was on the first, so thankfully there are plenty of spots where you can sit and drink it all in. As well as an alfresco dining table and a shady verandah, there's a swimming pool that overlooks the landscape.

The home's tall windows mean that the scenery can even be admired while you sit inside. The design in the open-concept living-kitchen area opts for simplicity, with whitewashed walls and furnishings, plus contrastingly rich wooden finishes in the kitchen. Come the night time, you'll be grateful for the fireplace in this space.

When you want to see a little more of the island, the centre of the main town takes under a quarter of an hour to reach by car and rewards those that make the journey with museums, restaurants and the famous windmills. The nearest beach, Paralia Psarous, is only a seven-minute drive, too.
