White Key Guide to Luxury Villa Vacations in Greece

Marvelous Mykonos is characterized by its traditional white, cubic Cycladic architecture and its picturesque windmills; situated in the center of the Cyclades, this famous beauty has attracted the likes of Jackie Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis only to become the place to be for “anybody who was anybody”, a liberal party diva blurring day and night into a non-stop celebration and a long-time favorite of international jetsetters and glamorous socialites. Mykonos is also a very gay-friendly resort, featuring some predominantly gay (yet fun for everybody) beaches like Super Paradise and bars like Pierro’s.

The charming thing about Mykonos however is, that it permits you to decide for yourself how near or far away you want to be from the crowd and tumult and one of the best ways to accomplish this, is by renting an exclusive villa. There is a great selection to choose from, either close to town, or away from it all.  Truth is, Mykonos is all about fine things and actually hosts some of the most exclusive private villa rentals in Greece, which function like private sanctuaries of peace and tranquility with stunning views over the Aegean, private pools and lavish comforts. It is up to you really, to decide, whether you want to leave your summer haven and to what destination.

No matter your lifestyle and your preferences, Mykonos offers diverse entertainment. You can be part of the larger following of dressed-up fashion icons and celebrities, who enjoy the posh, organized beaches like Psarou and Elia, as well as dining in first class restaurants like Matsuhisa Nobu or Katrin's and sipping cocktails in one of the island’s affluent cosmopolitan nightlife establishments like Astra.  

You are equally welcome to stay aloof from all the mayhem, opting for a calm yet opulent vacation, for which Mykonos also offers exquisite choices: Go to Rarity Gallery for some fine modern works. Vassillis and Christos the curators have extensive knowledge of international artists and their charm and gallery is a joy.

Opt for a visit to Agios Sostis and enjoy the splendor of dining 'alfresco' at Kiki's overlooking the clear blue water sea. Say hi to Vassilis as you sample the modern Greek salads and have your chicken or pork chop cooked to perfection in an outdoor barbeque. This jewel in the crown of Mykonos is a favorite of noted artists and even restauranteur Nobu himself!

An imperative must do is to dash to the archeological site of Delos. Refresh your soul amongst the ruins and walk through the town where Cleopatra and Apollo once strolled. Is your idea of a magnificent meal a picnic on a mythical island? Savoring among the gods can be set up for you in a heartbeat! Finally, take your love to a sunset swim to the hidden cove of Kapari beach. And "surrender to destiny!" as a great Greek once said.

Well, such options are only a small example of the alternatives available for you on this extravagant island and also why someone who is not necessarily a party animal should still be visiting Mykonos. Be certain, Mykonos has the whole package, tranquility and glamour, natural beauty and ultimate style. We at White Key Villas will be delighted to help you discover the Mykonos of your choice!
