Argo Hotel

Argo Hotel Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Argo Hotel on Main Street in Platis Yialos, I honestly wasn’t expecting much — the entrance is pretty understated. But you know what? Sometimes the best places don’t need to shout about it. This four-star property sits right in the heart of one of Mykonos‘ most beautiful beach areas, and once you step inside, you immediately get why it scores a 9.6 rating. The staff greeted me like I was an old friend, and there’s this relaxed energy that just makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay awhile.

The Perfect Spot

Look, I’ve stayed at a lot of places on Mykonos, and location really is everything here. Platis Yialos beach is literally a two-minute walk away — and I mean the good part of the beach, not some rocky corner. You’re close enough to hear the waves but far enough back that you won’t get sand in your room every time someone opens a door. What really sold me is how couples seem to absolutely love this spot (they rate the location 9.8, which is pretty incredible). The bus stop to Mykonos Town is right there too, so you’re not stuck paying for expensive taxis every time you want to explore.

Where You’ll Sleep

I have to say, the beds here are something special — and I’m someone who usually tosses and turns the first night anywhere new. The rooms aren’t huge, but they’re thoughtfully designed with these clean lines and pops of blue that remind you you’re on a Greek island without being cheesy about it. The air conditioning actually works (trust me, this matters in July), and the bathrooms are modern with decent water pressure. Actually, I slept better here than I had in weeks, which probably explains why other guests rave about the comfort level.

Food That Actually Delivers

Here’s where Argo really surprised me — the food is genuinely good, not just “good for hotel food.” I mean, you’re in Greece, so you expect decent Greek dishes, but the restaurant here goes beyond the basics. The breakfast spread has everything from traditional Greek yogurt with local honey to perfectly flaky pastries. Dinner was even better — fresh seafood that actually tastes like it came from the sea that morning, not some freezer. I ended up eating there three nights out of four, which says something since Mykonos has no shortage of dining options.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how everything just works without any fuss. There’s free parking (which is honestly a miracle on this island), the WiFi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and the whole place feels clean and well-maintained. It’s not trying to be the flashiest hotel on Mykonos — it’s just focused on doing the fundamentals really, really well. The combination of that prime location, comfortable accommodations, and genuinely good service creates this sweet spot where you feel like you’re getting more than you paid for. Plus, when couples consistently rate a place this highly, you know they’re doing something right with the romantic atmosphere.

Hotels near me in Mykonos deliver quick buggy rides to Kalo Livadi sands, beach yoga decks, and hidden coves.
