Apollo's Walls

Apollo's Walls: Mykonos

This home is quintessential Mykonos. Bright white walls of curved stone, luxurious daybeds, boho-chic details, and an unbeatable view of the Aegean Sea. It's the perfect place to spend a hot Greek getaway. The home is sleek, modern and elegant while being warm and inviting. And we're dying to go for a swing on the hanging egg chair!

This home is special all by itself, but the view certainly helps. Waking up in this villa is a dream – each bedroom offers a beautiful vista of the mountains and glistening sea, the perfect way to start your day. Spend your days lounging on the daybeds, occasionally taking shade under the woven pergola, soaking up the sun while enjoying a perfect, undisturbed view. And you don't have to miss a second of it if you don't want to – your outdoor kitchen is ideal for preparing dinner. Enjoy barbecues and drinks around the outdoor dining table, surrounded by traditional Grecian stone. The best bit about the dining table is the ample seating it has facing the view, which becomes even more beautiful at dusk. And for times that you don't fancy cooking, the quiet town of Ano Mera is just a four-minute drive away. Walk the cobbled streets, peering into local trinket stores, before settling into a traditional taverna for the night. Moussaka, souvlaki, saganaki galore.

Days and evenings spent in this glorious villa are pretty special. But if you want to venture out for a day or the afternoon, you're just a five-minute drive from Ftelia Beach, where you'll find the Alemagou Beach Club and Restaurant. The perfect lunchtime spot. Kalo Livadi Beach is also nearby, just an eight-minute drive away, with beach clubs, watersports, and plenty of places to enjoy food and drinks while listening to the sea roll up the sand.
