The Vencia is located on the heights of Mykonos, on the roadside leading to the port of Ano Mera. The center of Mykonos is 1,300 feet away (a 5 minute walk) and the airport 1.5 mile away. Buses going to the beaches of Kalaphati and Ano Mera stop in front of the hotel.
All rooms of the Venecia overlook the sea. They each have a small balcony or a small terrace, depending on the floor. They are not very spacious, but they are pleasantly designed in pastel shades. The designer has just put a little touch of colour in the curtains and small multicoloured cushions placed on the twin or double beds, according to your desires. Its colours stand out thanks to the light-coloured wooden furniture. Again, there is no excess decoration but a simple design that gives the room a comfortable and elegant look. There is a direct telephone line for international calls, LCD television, a refrigerator, air conditioning, a hair dryer and a room-service 24/7. The colours of the bathroom match the room, still in shades of beige, and walls of pastel blue. It is not very big but has a beautiful transparent basin and a good light.
Built in 1985, this hotel has 32 rooms arranged on several levels, decorated with vines and succulents. Upon entering the hotel, first you see a small entrance hall decorated with a bird cage and a small indoor garden. The lobby is composed of a counter made of light-coloured wood, decorated with bamboo. The bright colors give a very distinguished style to the place. In front of it, a very pleasant lounge area is furnished with antique furniture (old chests, jars, old engravings). The restaurant is also nearby. You then go outside, on the restaurant's terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea (high tables, rattan armchairs). Do not miss the sunset, why not in the beautiful small pool, which faces the town of Mykonos... One of the most beautiful views on the island.
The main restaurant of the Vencia is a pleasant place. Several tables are arranged in the room and occupy its entire space. Walls in cream colour, white furniture with sky blue seats. The room extends to the outside on a pleasant terrace made of stone, protected by a pergola, and equipped with beige rattan furniture. The background music suggests a good meal, served à la carte for lunch and dinner. You can taste here international cuisine but mostly Mediterranean cuisine. As for breakfast, it works buffet-style.
This small hotel has an exceptional location, offering a splendid panoramic view of Mykonos and the Aegean Sea. It will perfectly suit a young clientele seeking simple but effective comfort, a zen atmosphere and an easy access to Mykonos. The last renovation of the hotel dates back to 2006.

Do not search for a beach, you will not see it from here. It is located a few miles from this small hotel with 30 rooms, situated on the road to Ano Mera. The hotel is not very far from the town of Mykonos, but the distance is yet quite long if you want to go there by walk. This hotel would appeal especially to independant customers searching for a peaceful stay. You will be welcomed by a very nice family which also owns the nearby hotel, the Aeolos.
The Porto Mykonos is a hotel with 60 rooms, located opposite the port of the main town on the island. Attractive for the elegance of its facilities and the beauty of its view, the hotel is best suited to a young and festive clientele than to families seeking seaside resorts.

Located near downtown Mykonos, the Harmony is an ideal hotel for couples. This small building has caught our attention because of its natural charm and attention to details. Designed in the purest Greek architecture, the hotel was built in 2004. Something which is fairly rare on the island, the hotel is open all year round.
The Semeli is a mixture of tradition and modernity, so it is fitting that the stylish and harmonious way it is decorated should combine both the new and the old. Thanks to its architecture, which is typical of the Cyclades, the hotel is very charming. On top of this, it has quality facilities. Unlike most of the hotels on the island, this establishment is open all year round, so it is just as appealing for a summer break next to the swimming pool as a winter break to keep warm next to the fireplace in the lounge.
The Manoulas Beach is a little hotel next to the pretty beach of Agios Ioannis and has all you need for an enjoyable stay: friendly staff, pleasant communal areas, and direct access to the beach. However, given that it has little in the way of facilities, guests opting to spend their holidays here come more than anything else in search of peace, quiet, and relaxation, none of which call for swanky features! Although the hotel has been open since 1982, it does not show its age. Management makes the most of the annual closure over the winter season to carry out any necessary renovations.
Open since 1976, the Despotiko is not exactly a new establishment. This is a fact that quickly becomes apparent: the old-fashioned decor could do with being renewed and some modern touches definitely wouldn't go amiss. However, thanks to the hotel's history, it has a certain charm that is rarely seen in other establishments. This town hotel stands on the edge of a road that constitutes a good starting point for going into town, although there is a bit of a hill to climb on the way back.
A member of the select Relais & Châteaux club, the Myconian Ambassador comes with outstanding credentials, the reasons for which rapidly become apparent as you discover the hotel's facilities. The service is of high quality and the setting is magnificent... Its elevated location affords an unobstructed view of the Aegean sea, but unfortunately this means it's not next to the beach. Don't worry though, the one at Platis Gialos is just a few steps away... The establishment is ideal for couples, but families are offered the warmest of welcomes as well.
A Member of the hotel chain Starwood, the Santa Marina Resort and Villas has existed since 1986. Since its renovation in 2005, the hotel has enjoyed a facelift.

Families are welcome! It is open during the summer season, namely from April to October.
