As well as the two properties and terraces, Villa Bireme comes with its own helicopter pad and a shared outdoor gym with some fantastic equipment.

Ano Mera is just four minutes away from the villa. Sitting almost in the heart of the island, Ano Mera is incredibly picturesque.

With a laid back atmosphere, it is great for a relaxed beach day.

Elia, Ornos, Psarou, Paraga, Paradise, Kalafatis and Plati Gialos are all firm favourites. Ornos Beach is one of Mykonos’ trendiest beaches offering many places to eat and is a frequent stop for many boats and yachts. Elia Beach, on the south coast of the island, boasts Mykonos’ longest sweep of sand. The rainbow flag at the end of the beach marks its lgbt stretch of sand. Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beaches, also on the south coast, are the home of some of the island’s most famous nightclubs.
Mykonos Town boasts an enchanting warren of spidery, narrow lanes covered in bougainvillea. Lavished with picturesque churches, quirky art galleries, chic boutiques, jewellery shops and charming restaurants, visitors love an afternoon meander. The town’s museums, the Archaeological Museum and the Aegean Martime Museum, are worth a stop. The ethereal beauty of Little Venice is a favourite haunt of highly acclaimed artists and Instagram followers. It is one of the most romantic places on the island with elegant old houses sitting on the edge of the sea creating a magical aura and an abundance of buzzy bars.
Tourlos is located on the north side of the island, just 2.5km from Mykonos Town. It enjoys a magnificent port, a stop for many cruise ships, and a smart harbour. The houses are freshly painted with colourful shutters and draped in vibrant bougainvillea and other pretty flowers. Many celebrities have chosen to build luxury villas here. The Chapel of St George Spilianos, north of the harbour, is delightful. It is built into the cavity of a rock with a lovely ambience and where you can light a candle. Tourlos boasts a magical, organised beach with watersports.
As well as being a party lover and boutique shoppers paradise, Mykonos is a whitewashed, Grecian gem with lush hillsides waiting to be explored.
