Elenitas flat next to the Windmills

First Impressions

You know what struck me immediately about Elenitas flat next to the Windmills? The name pretty much tells you everything — you’re literally steps away from those iconic Mykonos windmills that everyone comes here to see. This three-star property sits right on Sourmeli street in Mykonos City, and honestly, the location is so good it almost feels unfair to other hotels. I mean, when couples are rating the spot a perfect 10 out of 10, you know something special is happening here.

The Heart of Mykonos

The location score of 9.6 isn’t just a number — it’s the real deal. You’re in the actual heart of Mykonos, not some tourist-trap version of it. The famous windmills are right there (hence the name), but what I really loved was how you can walk to Little Venice, the old port, and all those winding streets with the white-washed buildings in just a few minutes. You’ll find yourself stumbling onto those picture-perfect spots that make Mykonos Instagram-famous, but you’re also close enough to the local life that you feel like you’re experiencing the real island.

The Accommodation

This is an apartment-style setup, which actually works perfectly for the location. You get your own space to spread out after long days exploring the island, and there’s something nice about having a proper base rather than just a hotel room. The place has that typical Cycladic charm — you know, the clean lines and bright spaces that make everything feel airy and relaxed. It’s not trying to be fancy (it’s a three-star after all), but it’s comfortable and well-maintained, which is honestly all you need when you’re spending most of your time out exploring.

Getting Around

Here’s something I really appreciated — parking in Mykonos City can be an absolute nightmare, but the location here means you can actually walk to most places you’ll want to visit. The narrow streets around the windmills area aren’t great for cars anyway, so being able to just step out and wander is a huge advantage. When you do want to hit the beaches (and you will), the bus connections are pretty decent from this part of town, or you can easily grab a taxi.

Why Guests Love It

Look, couples are giving this place a perfect 10 for location, and after staying here, I totally get it. There’s something romantic about being so close to those windmills — especially at sunset when everyone else is hiking up from town and you’re just… already there. The combination of being in the thick of things but having your own space to retreat to works really well. You’re not paying five-star prices, but you’re getting that prime real estate that money usually can’t buy. For the price point and that unbeatable location, Elenitas flat delivers exactly what most people are looking for in a Mykonos stay.
