Mykonos in the slow lane

Mykonos might be famed for its cosmopolitan flair and thumping nightlife, but there are still plenty of tranquil spots to be found on these shores. Set on a hillside overlooking Psarou Beach – which is about 20 minutes’ walk down the hill – Jenny’s Summer Houses are laid-back, low-key, and lovely.

This spot is about as quintessentially Greek as it gets. Traditional stone paths wind their way through the pristine, white-washed buildings. Inside the finish is just as airy and pristine, with a palate that’s all whites and neutrals – perfect for those hot summer days.

Find out more about Platis Gialos

It’s hard to imagine a more idyllic beach holiday destination than Platis Gialos, a dreamy cove on the south coast of Mykonos. Perhaps it’s the fact it faces slightly to the west, and so catches the perfect sunset. Or that many of its upscale hotels and restaurants face directly onto the soft, golden sand. Shielded from the wind by a backdrop of photogenic rocky hills, water sports are also a big draw here on Platis Gialos holidays, with an array of high-octane activities on offer – that is if you can tear yourself away from your sun lounger.
