Four S Apartments

First Impressions

Walking up to Four S Apartments, you immediately get that relaxed Mykonos vibe without the pretentious attitude that some places on the island can have. It’s tucked away in Ano Mera, which honestly is one of my favorite parts of the island — you’re still close enough to everything but far from the madness of Mykonos Town. The three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and that’s actually refreshing. There’s something genuine about the place that hits you right away.

Location & Getting Around

Ano Mera is where locals actually live, you know? You’ve got the beautiful Panagia Tourliani Monastery just a short walk away, and honestly, it’s one of those spots that most tourists rush past but shouldn’t. The location gets an 8.1 rating from guests, and I can see why — you’re about 15 minutes from the famous beaches like Elia and Kalo Livadi, but you can actually find parking (and it’s free here, which is practically a miracle on Mykonos). The village square has a few traditional tavernas where you’ll sit next to Greek families rather than just other tourists.

The Apartments

These aren’t hotel rooms — they’re proper apartments with kitchenettes, which means you can grab fresh produce from the local market and actually cook if you want to. The spaces feel lived-in rather than sterile, with traditional Cycladic touches that don’t feel forced. I mean, you’re not getting marble bathrooms or anything fancy, but everything works well and the beds are comfortable. The best part? Most units have little terraces where you can have your morning coffee while looking out over the Aegean — it’s those small moments that make a trip memorable.

What Makes It Special

The 9.0 rating tells you something important about this place — guests genuinely enjoy their stay here. It’s particularly popular with couples, and I get it. There’s something romantic about being in a quieter part of the island where you can actually hear each other talk over dinner. The staff treats you like you’re staying at a friend’s place rather than just another booking number. Plus, having that free parking means you can easily explore the island without worrying about where to leave your rental car (trust me, this becomes a real headache in the main town).

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to Four S Apartments is the balance it strikes — you get the authentic Greek island experience without sacrificing comfort or convenience. You’re close enough to hit the beach clubs and nightlife when you want to, but you can retreat to somewhere peaceful when you’ve had enough. The apartment setup means you’re not tied to hotel meal times or restaurant prices for every single meal. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel like you’re living in Mykonos for a few days rather than just visiting, and honestly, that’s worth more than any five-star amenity.
