First-class accommodation for everyone
To make the most of the glorious Greek summer, or the warm but less lively shoulder season in May, September and October, why not book an extended stay for a family and friends group getaway at Myconian Villa Collection or Panoptis Escape, overlooking Elia Beach, where multiple villas can be combined to create an incredible 21-bedroom super villa with 12 private pools for your exclusive use. Or…book your nearest and dearest into a multi-villa property and escape to your own private honeymoon suite in a nearby property such as the adults-only Myconian Avaton for a well-deserved rest.
Those who prefer to be in the heart of the action – including beautiful boutiques, winding alleyways and lively tavernas – will love the central location of Myconian Naia, Myconian Korali or the brand new Deos by Myconian – which all offer easy access to everything the iconic whitewashed town has to offer.
