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 sunsets.
moreover, 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.
set above agrari beach on mykonos’ southern coastline, this eight-bedroom residence occupies a sheltered hillside position with uninterrupted views across the aegean and direct access to one of the island’s quieter sandy bays. built into the natural contours of the landscape, the villa combines traditional cycladic forms with stone-built terraces, shaded pergolas, and outdoor living spaces designed to follow the movement of the sun throughout the day.
the approach unfolds gradually through rocky terrain planted with mediterranean herbs and native vegetation, creating a strong sense of privacy despite the property’s close proximity to mykonos town, reached within approximately ten minutes by car. from the main terraces, the coastline opens wide toward the sea, while the south-facing orientation brings consistent light and protection from the prevailing northern winds.
inside, the house balances the simplicity of cycladic architecture with softer, more relaxed interiors. white-painted timber ceilings, curved openings, pale stone floors, and light blue accents create a calm atmosphere that reflects the surrounding landscape and sea. the principal living spaces connect naturally to the terraces through wide openings, allowing the boundary between indoors and outdoors to remain fluid during the summer months.
the kitchen sits at the centre of daily living, fully equipped and directly connected to both the indoor sitting area and the shaded outdoor dining spaces. throughout the house, materials remain restrained and tactile, with natural textures and muted tones giving the interiors a sense of ease rather than formality.
accommodation is arranged across eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, including generous guest suites designed with privacy and independent outdoor access in mind. several rooms open directly onto terraces or quieter corners of the property, while sea views remain present throughout much of the house.
outdoor living defines the rhythm of the residence. multiple terraces unfold across different levels, creating distinct areas for dining, reading, sunbathing, or gathering in the shade. a large pergola shelters the main outdoor dining area, centred around a substantial stone dining table beside the traditional wood-fired barbecue. nearby, the infinity pool sits against the horizon line, framed by broad stone terraces and uninterrupted views toward the bay below.
the walk down to agrari beach takes approximately ten minutes, descending through the hillside toward clear water and golden sand. in the evening, the terraces become quieter, with the last light settling across the surrounding hills and the sea beyond.
