In the beautiful village of Platis Gialos, nestled between some of the most popular spots in Mykonos, this charming villa offers a tranquil retreat just minutes from many of the island's world-famous attractions. The views from this home are incredible, stretching over rooftops to the blue Aegean Sea. The private terrace and pool are positioned to face the spectacular scenery, meaning you don't have to go far to find one of the best sunset viewing spots around. The exterior of this home is a nod to classic Mykonos architecture, with white-washed walls, window shutters and a cubic shape. Inside there are plenty of creature comforts to help you feel right at home. Start the day by opening up the patio doors and breathing in the fresh air, then make a coffee and sink into the outdoor sofa. A morning swim in the outdoor pool is also highly recommended if you want to start the day feeling refreshed and ready to explore. If you're a beach lover, this is the place to be. Yachting, windsurfing and parasailing are all on offer close by, but if you're looking for something a little more relaxed, there are plenty pf secluded beaches along the south coast. If you're in need of a pit stop on the way back, you’ll find traditional tavernas and waterfront bars in the village. However, there's nothing quite like a homecooked meal at the end of a busy day – enjoy an alfresco feast on the terrace, washed down with a glass of wine.
