We say to think of it as Greece’s answer to Ibiza – yes, it can party, but it knows how to slow it down for a night or two as well. Plus, the sleep-all-day, party-all-night mindset of most visitors means a visit to the ancient ruins or Panagia Paraportiani can be achieved sans huge crowds.

At OB Travel, our portfolio of luxury villas to rent in Mykonos includes six-bedroom retreats, 7,000 sqm estates and quintessentially Cycladic white stone houses all with unparalleled views of the Aegean sea.
