Greco Philia Hotel Boutique, Mykonos, Greek Islands

There’s nowhere else in Greece quite like Mykonos, a hedonistic island famed for its beach parties, posh restaurants and luxury shopping. In one day you can watch the sun rise over a deserted beach, explore Greek ruins before breakfast and sandy bays after lunch, dine on delicious cuisine in a top restaurant and party the night away in a trendy bar with views of the Aegean.

Whether you want to stroll the cobbled streets of Mykonos Town in your finest resortwear or hire a quad bike to explore hidden coves, there’s something for everyone on this blue and white rock in the heart of the Greek Islands. The small, chic beach resort of Elia is a mere 800 metres away, with a wide sweep of golden sand (and a clothes-optional area tucked away around the headland). Park up on a lounger under a reed-topped umbrella (fees apply locally) and soak up the sun or hire a boat for a fun-filled day out chugging around the coastline. Fancy a change of scene? Ornos and Kapari beaches are also within a short distance.
