Mykonos Village

Mykonos Village Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Mykonos Village, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from what looked like a fairly modest property tucked away in Ano Mera. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that surprise you. This four-star hotel sits in the quieter part of the island, away from the chaos of Mykonos town, and there’s something immediately calming about the whole setup. The traditional Cycladic architecture feels authentic rather than touristy — white-washed buildings with those classic blue accents that actually look lived-in rather than Instagram-perfect.

Location & Getting Around

Ano Mera is honestly one of those places that locals will tell you about if you ask where they’d actually stay. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the main town, which means you get the real Mykonos experience without paying those insane central prices. The hotel provides parking right on site — and trust me, that’s a bigger deal than you might think on this island where finding a spot can be a nightmare. I noticed quite a few couples during my stay, which makes sense given how peaceful it is here. The village square with its monastery is just a short walk away, and there are some genuinely good tavernas that haven’t been completely overrun by tourists yet.

The Accommodations

My room was simple but thoughtfully designed — clean lines, comfortable bedding, and a balcony that caught the morning light perfectly. The air conditioning actually worked well (not always a given in Greek hotels), and the bathroom was modern enough without feeling sterile. What I appreciated most was the attention to small details — good water pressure, decent WiFi, and blackout curtains that actually blocked the light. The housekeeping staff clearly takes pride in their work, and it shows in how everything is maintained.

Dining & Daily Life

The hotel’s restaurant serves breakfast that’s a solid mix of Greek and international options — nothing fancy, but fresh and filling. I actually ended up eating dinner there a couple of times because the chef does this amazing thing with local fish that changes based on what’s available that day. The staff here feels more like a small family operation, which means they remember your coffee preferences and will chat about the best beaches to hit depending on the wind direction. That kind of personal touch is getting harder to find on Mykonos these days.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you’re expecting a resort with multiple pools and a full spa, this isn’t your place. But if you want a genuine base for exploring the island without the tourist circus, Mykonos Village really delivers. The combination of reasonable rates, reliable service, and that prime location in Ano Mera makes it feel like you’re getting insider access to the real island. I mean, when couples are rating the location 8.6 out of 10, they’re onto something — this is Mykonos as it’s meant to be experienced, not as a backdrop for social media posts.
