Mykonos Dot

Mykonos Dot Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Mykonos Dot in Ano Mera, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from this quieter corner of the island. But this four-star property completely changed my perspective on where to stay in Mykonos. The modern design feels refreshingly understated compared to the flashy beach clubs you’ll find everywhere else, and there’s something genuinely welcoming about the way they’ve set everything up. You know what really caught my attention? The fact that they actually have free parking right on site — trust me, that’s practically gold on this island.

Location & Getting Around

Ano Mera might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think Mykonos, but hear me out. This village sits right in the heart of the island, which means you’re actually closer to some of the best beaches than if you stayed in Mykonos Town. I mean, Elia Beach is just a quick drive away, and you can reach both the northern and southern coasts without dealing with the crazy traffic that clogs up the main town. Plus, there’s this authentic Greek village vibe here that you just don’t get in the touristy areas — the local tavernas around the main square serve some of the best food I had during my entire trip.

The Room Experience

My room had this clean, minimalist design that felt both modern and somehow timeless. The beds are seriously comfortable (I’m picky about this stuff), and the air conditioning actually works properly — which, let’s be real, isn’t always a given in Greek hotels. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything was at night. You get these peaceful moments where you can actually hear the cicadas instead of drunk tourists stumbling around outside. The bathrooms are well-designed too, with good water pressure and plenty of space to spread out your stuff.

Dining & Daily Life

The hotel’s restaurant serves a solid breakfast that goes way beyond the typical continental spread — they actually make fresh Greek yogurt with local honey that’s honestly addictive. But what I loved most was how the staff pointed me toward the family-run tavernas in the village. There’s this one place called Kikis (though it’s not always open) that locals swear by, and honestly, some of my best meals happened just by wandering around Ano Mera in the evening. The village has this laid-back rhythm that makes you slow down and actually enjoy your vacation instead of rushing from one Instagram spot to the next.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you’re the type who needs to be in the middle of all the action, this might not be your spot. But if you want a genuine Greek island experience with easy access to everything Mykonos offers, Mykonos Dot really delivers. The combination of modern comfort, authentic location, and that rare commodity of free parking makes it a smart choice. I’ve stayed in fancier places on the island, but I keep thinking about how relaxed and recharged I felt here. Sometimes the best travel experiences happen when you step slightly off the beaten path — and this place proves that point perfectly.

Mykonos’s hotels wrap guests in bougainvillea courtyards, breezy pergolas, and concierge-led sailing regattas.
