Far flung beaches, majestic sunsets, meze, mastika and non-stop music
make Mykonos a must-see when youre touring the Greek islands.
stay
The rooms at the much-talked-about pop-up, San
Giorgio are an eclectic mix of romantic canopy beds, Berber rugs,
rattan lights and vintage furnishings sourced at Athenian flee markets.
The whitewashed hotel with breathtaking views of the Aegean is already
the summers hotspot. Open though October 31. From $150/night, http://sangiorgio-mykonos.com
swim
From oh-so-cool Psarou to peaceful, windswept Fokos, theres no shortage
of beaches to bask on. Bikinis are optional, but if you must wear one,
opt for something skimpy and neon.
do
One thing Mykonos has plenty of is wind. Why not try your hand at
surfing? The charming Raphael at Kalo Livadi beach (80 euro per hour)
will have your heart racing in no time.
drink
For sunsets the colour of a Campari, grab a front row seat at Caprice.
The view is postcard gorgeous.
eat
Aqua (at
Caprice) sits on the edge of the water and serves some lovely modern-Med
food. Think melt-in-the-mouth Burrata, light-as-air ravioli and Greek
salads with a modern twist.
Away from the buzz of town, the tavernas in Ano
Meria are very hospitable and ideal if you have tots in tow.
Proedros (the President) is a winner with perfect fava, fresh sardines
and onion pie stuffed full of local cheese. Athena Tsavliris
