Villa Habel sits next to its sister villa, Villa Heber, within a gorgeous plot overlooking the beautiful Elia Beach. The villa is very private, and the sea views are framed by the pretty hillside and gorgeous, colourful planting in the villa’s garden. There are 25 beaches on Mykonos Island. The beaches on the south coast are more sheltered, and some are highly organised party beaches. Windsurfers and kitesurfers tend to head for the beaches on the north coast with their challenging winds and surf. The beaches of Kalo Livadi, Agrari, Platys Gialos, Kalafatis are all very popular. The trendy beach bars of Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach are the famous for their cocktails and international DJ’s once the sun has gone down. Until the morning hours, party revellers will be out in full force. There are a number of dive and windsurfing schools that are based on Platys Gialos, Kalafatis and Paradise Beaches. There is a colourful marine life to explore as well as two shipwrecks.
Sports enthusiasts will be delighted with the watersports, the Mykonos Tennis Club and of course the villa’s fantastic gym. Cyclists can attend organised tours of the island with Yummy Pedals to explore the hidden beaches and the lush interior of the island.
Highlights of the vibrant Mykonos Town are the whitewashed Paraportiani Church which is just one of the 800 chapels and churches in Mykonos, the waterside Little Venice which is buzzing with chic bars next to the water and souvenir and jewellery shops, the picturesque windmills hugging the hillside above Little Venice and the wonderful bougainvillaea-draped Matogliani Street famous for designer shopping. The gourmet dining scene rivals any of the Greek islands. Mykonos Town is charming. It is a warren of narrow streets decked with bars and cafes.
Other attractions of Mykonos are the picturesque whitewashed villages such as Ano Mera with its wonderful monasteries and rustic-chic vibe and boat trips to the sacred island of Delos. There is also a microbrewery that you can visit. Mykonos Brewing Company boasts six wine-barrel aged craft beers that you can taste and purchase.
