mykonos, or else the island of the winds, is part of the cyclades, located in the middle of the aegean sea. it is accessible from sea (from the ports of piraeus and rafina – duration of travel ranges from 3 to 5 hours) and air (from the athens international airport duration of flight is 45 minutes, while mykonos airport is also directly connected to major european cities). in addition, due to its location mykonos is the perfect hub for private cruising in the central aegean.
the island of mykonos is legendary for its picturesque beauty, consisting of white houses, windmills and heavenly beaches. night life of mykonos is legendary, with the island being considered the ultimate party destination in the whole mediterranean sea, attracting rich and famous from all over the world.
in the alleys of chora (the capital of the island) one can find everything, ranging from world class brands to traditional products and from quiet restaurants to famous night clubs. many celebrities wander around in the area of matogiannia and then enjoy a premium cocktail at sunset by the sea in scenic little venice.
beaches of incomparable beauty invite one to explore all shades of blue, while some of them possess world class beach restaurants. indicatively, one could mention the exceptionally well-organized psarou beach and its glamorous beach bar-restaurant nammos that has evolved to a beloved destination for the international jet set. at the same time, more private beaches, such as fokos, promise one an exclusive view of the aegean sea and enchanting sunsetsmoreover, mykonos is linked via small boats to delos. delos is the best preserved ancient city in greece. in the antiquity it was considered a sacred place, as it was believed to be the birthplace of apollo (the god of sun) and artemis (the goddess of hunt, wildlife, childbirth). the archaeological museum of delos is one of the most important museums of greece, displaying rare sculptures, potteries, inscriptions and mosaics.
mykonos is a unique combination of peacefulness and conviviality that attracts the elite from all over the world, rewarding at the same time those willing to discover its tranquil side.
positioned directly on the waterfront in the kanalia area of mykonos, this substantial private estate faces west across the aegean towards delos, with uninterrupted sunset views and direct access to the sea below. the house extends across 1,210 sqm of interior space and combines large-scale entertaining areas with the softer architectural language of traditional cycladic forms — whitewashed arches, built-in seating, pale timber ceilings and broad terraces shaped around the coastline itself.
from the approach, the property unfolds gradually towards the water through a series of terraces, courtyards and outdoor living areas. the architecture follows the contours of the rocky shoreline rather than imposing against it, allowing nearly every principal room to maintain an open relationship with the sea. the curved pool terrace forms the centre of the exterior spaces, positioned directly above the water with uninterrupted views towards the horizon and the low silhouette of delos beyond.
inside, the main reception rooms are arranged as interconnected volumes beneath painted timber ceilings, with large archways softening the transitions between dining, sitting and entertaining spaces. the palette throughout remains restrained and characteristically mykonian: white plaster walls, pale floors, natural textiles and warm terracotta surfaces balanced by darker timber furniture and antique details. large openings allow sea light to move continuously through the interiors during the day, while maintaining a sense of privacy despite the openness of the plan.
the estate contains nine bedrooms and eleven bathrooms distributed across the principal residence and guest accommodation, allowing the property to function comfortably at full occupancy without losing its sense of proportion. several bedrooms open directly onto private terraces overlooking the water, while others are positioned around quieter internal courtyards sheltered from the wind. the principal suite occupies one of the most private areas of the house, combining expansive sea views with direct access to outdoor sitting areas facing the sunset.
the outdoor areas are designed for long periods of use throughout the day and evening. beside the pool, a fully equipped summer kitchen, bar area and shaded dining terraces allow the exterior spaces to operate independently from the main interior kitchen during the summer months. stone terraces descend gradually towards a private deck at the water’s edge, where direct access into the sea is possible from the rocks below. the positioning of the house along this section of coastline allows the sound of the water to remain present throughout much of the property, particularly during the quieter evening hours after the wind settles.
as sunset approaches, the western orientation transforms the entire seaward façade. the pool reflects the changing colours of the sky while the white surfaces of the house begin to soften into warmer tones against the darkening sea. from the upper terraces, delos remains visible directly across the water as the final light disappears into the horizon. a lantern left burning beside the pool after dusk feels entirely in keeping with the atmosphere of the estate.
the property includes staff accommodation, security systems, air conditioning, media and entertainment spaces, private parking and extensive outdoor entertaining infrastructure, combining the scale of a major waterfront residence with direct physical connection to the coastline itself.
