The bustling cosmopolitan Greek island paradise of Mykonos is the most coveted tourist destination right in the middle of the Aegean Sea. But this dramatic oasis in the Greek Isles, doesn’t come cheap, and Mykonos, along with Santorini, are widely known as the most expensive islands making up the Cyclades group. That however, has not deterred literally millions of eager party animals to visit every single year.
An eclectic mix of history, dazzling scenery, and a dynamic mix of visitors and locals, all mingling along the shimmering deep violet sea awaits. Terribly overcrowded during the ever popular months of July and August every year, the best time to go, if you are not mad about hundreds of people, is during May and June. The weather is somewhat cooler, and being off season, the accommodation is more affordable.
If you travel just 10 minutes from the town of Mykonos to the beach of Avios Yiannis, to the exact spot Shirley Valentine was filmed having her coffee at a seaside café, you will find yourself at the charismatic resort of the Mykonos Grand Hotel Greece. It’s a captivating scene of whitewashed buildings, with their dramatic square shapes and charming splashes of blue, marking out balconies and windows, perched along the velvet sands of the breathtaking beaches, while the sparkling turquoise waters twinkle in the sunlight as far as the eye can see.
The elegance and charm of the luxurious resort hotel, is just far off the beaten track enough, for visitors to enjoy the privacy and pampering they will need to have a restful getaway. All of the exclusive rooms and suites, just over a 100 of them in total, are pertinently spread throughout the five acres of prime beachfront land, in order to provide guests with the space and anonymity they require whilst getting out of the city during their stay.
The enviable climate of Greece, means that it is pretty much summer all year round, with a few rain drops in the months between October and April, just enough to cool things down. Whenever you go, it is warm enough to enjoy the spectacular beaches and surrounds. Enjoy a sunset horseback ride on the beach, a relaxing treatment in the out of this world spa, or a dip in the infinity pool to cool off under the summer sun.
Take one of the daily shuttles from the Mykonos Grand Hotel Greece, into Mykonos Town, and meander down the quaint, winding streets full of historical heritage. The winding roads and streets were designed to confuse pirates, and is the perfect place to lose your way and stumble upon some of the best sidewalk cafes, be welcomed with open arms with Greek hospitality and leave very much later, did I mention the Greek hospitality?, with new friends and memories you will treasure for a lifetime.
