Villa Isodore is located on the southern tip of the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos, part of the Cyclades in the heart of the Aegean Sea. The exclusive island of Mykonos measures only ten kilometres long by fifteen kilometres wide, so wherever you want to go it’s only a short drive away. The villa is just eleven kilometres from Mykonos airport, which is served by both local and international flight operators. If you are island hopping, the nearby islands Naxos and Syros also have their own airports.
The new port of Mykonos is a hub of activity for those landing and departing from the ferries, or super yachts cruising the Aegean, and is a quick twenty five minute drive to the villa. The villa is near the resort town of Elia on the south coast, famous for its white sandy beaches, and stylish seafront restaurants. Villa Isodore boasts one of the best locations on the island of Mykonos, situated just a kilometre metre from the beautiful soft sandy beach of Agrari, a ten minute walk down a well-worn path will take you to paradise. Agrari Beach is family-friendly, offering a selection of water sports, a playground, and cafes and bars, the south coast beaches have calmer sea waters than those in the north, which can be affected by the notoriously strong winds. Near the villa, there is a tennis court, fitness centre, and fishing opportunities.
The coastline is populated with many beautiful golden sandy beaches, take your pick from nearby nudist Elia beach, to the family-friendly favourite of Plays Gialos Beach, or party, party, party all day long on Paradise Beach, with its crystal clear waters, restaurants, bars, and clubs with resident DJs, there’s something for everyone on the island of Mykonos. During daylight hours play penance in one of the eight hundred churches that populate the island, most notably Paraportiani, which is a unique construction combining four styles of architecture.
Take a visit to Mykonos town, known locally as Chora, and only five kilometres from the villa. Here you can wander the maze of streets with the colourful Cycladic houses, do some serious designer-label shopping in one of the many luxury boutiques. Then take a table at a seafront restaurant and enjoy a dish of freshly caught seafood, whilst sipping ouzo and watching the beautiful people pass by. Find out the island’s history and culture at the Archaeological Museum, the Folk Museum, and the Maritime Museum, then go out of town to Lena’s House to discover how the islanders lived. Take a walk up to the landmark windmills, known as Kato Mili, where the wheat was ground to make bread and is now a mini museum and residencies. Walk along the waterfront to Little Venice, where original merchant houses overhang the sea, and are now home to cafes, bars, restaurants and galleries, best enjoyed at sunset with a retsina or two. Admire the Armenistis lighthouse, still fully functioning and an essential asset of Mykonos’ maritime history.
No visit to Mykonos is complete without a day at sea, join a catamaran jolly and snorkel in the sea, or if you’re feeling flush, charter your own yacht and discover secret coves and hidden bays and beaches, and for the romantics, nothing beats a sunset cruise, cocktail in hand as the sun sets over the horizon. Further afield the uninhabited island of Delos is well worth a visit, a unesco World Heritage Site, home to the birthplace of Zeus and Leto, go with a group or arrange your own private tour.
