Villa Erastos is located on an exclusive, small complex overlooking the stunning azure waters just 200 m from Elia Beach. Also very close are Kalo Livadi, Kalafatis and Agrari Beaches. Elia is family-friendly, offers watersports and beach dining as well as having one of the longest stretches of silver sand on the island. Agrari, next to Elia, is quieter. Kalafatis is busy and again offers many watersports. The beaches on the north of the island are popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers who want to catch the thrilling wind.
The picturesque village of Ano Mera is also very close to the villa. Tavernas, patisseries and cafes spill out onto the narrow, cobbled, atmospheric streets. There is a large supermarket and pharmacy as well for your needs. You will get a real feel for how people live on the island in Ano Mera. You can also visit the fantastic, restored Panagia Tourlaina Monastery which houses holy icons and paintings in a whitewashed complex. The vibe is rustic-chic and utterly charming.
The vibrant Mykonos Town is the second biggest attraction of the island, after the beaches. The inviting warren of narrow lanes, bedecked with colourful bougainvillaea, is lined with quirky art galleries, label-laden classy boutiques, picturesque ancient churches and a huge variety of restaurants. The bougainvillaea-draped Matogliani Street is famous for designer shopping. You can make a stop at the Archaeological Museum to discover an interesting collection of figurines, jewellery and pottery or visit the Aegean Maritime Museum to see a wide range of ancient nautical instruments and vessels.
Mykonos Brewing Company is the only microbrewery on the island. You can visit to taste unusual beers and wine-barrel aged beers. While tasting the beers, you wil be told the myths surrounding Mykonos.
