Breathtaking sunsets in Mykonos

Posted on | by M Mykonos Villas

Meteorologists might argue that the summer north winds blowing over the Aegean help keep the atmosphere dry and transparent, enhancing the visibility and highlighting the spectacular colors of the sunset. Songwriters, authors, and painters travel thousand miles to be inspired by the beauties of the Cyclades; the sacred island of Delos -UNESCO World Heritage Site- and the neighboring Mykonos with the amazing coastline and rocking energy, starring at the center of this unique Archipelago. And when it comes to their works of art most of them will use them to pay tribute to the unprecedent sunsets that became their inspiration. Because nothing compares to watching the sun painting the skies with colors of unimaginable perfection as it hastily dives into the deep blue colors of the sea.

To start with, there is nothing more magical than experiencing the last minutes of daylight, sipping an iced cocktail, and listening to great music in one of Mykonos notorious beach bars.

If in town there are unique spots for impressing your Insta community with some of the most admirable sunset photos. Little Venice is one of those incomparable places where you can combine the fantastic sunset view with o gourmet dinner and drinks at one of its dozen picturesque bars, housed in beautiful old buildings.

Alternatively, you can walk up to the Windmills that overlook Little Venice, almost like its eternal loyal guardians. There are no venues here – just plenty of space for the ideal sunset selfie picture with unobstructed view.

Or else take a ride to the historical Armenistis lighthouse that is located 7 kilometers from Chora and is one of the oldest and most imposing lighthouses in the Aegean. Watching the lit-up ships coming and going to the harbor of Mykonos just after sunset is a stunning experience. No venues here as well; just take with you a bottle of local wine and savor the beauty. Finally, you can charter a sunset cruise and collect unforgettable memories of a night trip along the south coast ofMykonos and Delos.  Taking a last plunge onto the golden-like sea in the early evening before the sun sets will be a treasure to keep in your heart.

When planning holidays in Mykonos, this most enchanting and popular cosmopolitan island of the Greek Cyclades, visitors are presented with a wide variety of accommodation to choose from, including picturesque town hotels, luxury bungalows by the beach, 5-star resorts and whatever they dream of.

But for the true connoisseurs, those who know the real luxury values of the island and look for an exceptional stay enjoying exquisite services perfectly tailored to their needs, then there is only one possible choice: to rent one of the luxurious villas of the island, offering breathtaking views of the deep blue Aegean Sea plus a full list of amenities and services that will turn even the shortest holiday into an event of a lifetime. Staying in a private villa means that a blink of the eye is enough for an extremely well-trained group of professionals to instantly realize your wishes. So, let’s explore what such a miracle list would include:

Privacy and discretion. Top on the list of any demanding traveler is the ability to protect oneself and their loved ones from mingling with a crowd of strangers with whom one is likely to have nothing in common. In this matter, the manager of a private villa will ensure that you have the degree of protection and isolation you desire, so you can fully enjoy the company of only those you welcome!

Endless hours of leisure. Huge swimming pools, exclusive gym, large terraces perfect for parties, basking in the sun or enjoying a glass of wine under the stars – you can have it all in many resorts in Mykonos. Everyone knows that this is the island of having fun and getting spoiled on many levels! Nevertheless, it is only in a private villa where these treasures will be exclusively yours to enjoy, without any strangers checking on you to see when you will leave your place for them.

Non-stop private. From your own private chef to a private chauffer for some unforgettable remote beach-hopping, just call them and they will be there to cater for any need. You can ask for a nanny to take care of the kids, a personal shopper to guide you through the most exclusive Mykonos boutiques, a rented yacht for an amazing tour around the neighboring islands or a private excursion.

Rest assured that the people who take care of your accommodation, such as our team at M Mykonos Villas, are already working to realize your wishes for the next day!

From extravagant luxury to family picknicks, Mykonos is a magical holiday destination where visitors feel that all their wishes can come true. Some are looking for a paradise to enjoy endless swimming or snorkeling, with the sun’s rays penetrating the azure blue waters to reveal this rich and most beautiful seabed of the Mediterranean. Others get there only to be part of the amazing atmosphere and rocking energy of the never-ending party that takes turns in spectacular beach bars, notorious clubs; even in the streets with the music always loud and the people dancing as if there will not be any tomorrow.

There are also those who will visit this beautiful island to indulge in the mystic experience of its old, emblematic Byzantine monasteries or just taste the traditional local delicacies that can be found in the small taverns of the mainland. Moreover, while grownups will relax on luxurious sunbeds with private service, their children can try the most exciting water sports under the supervision of well-trained professionals. That is why everyone can have the time of their lives in Mykonos, no matter where they come from or where they go.

Mykonos was ‘found’ in 1873 by the archaeologists of the French archaeological school who had just started the excavations in the nearby sacred Delos Island. Looking for a neighboring spot where they could rest and find shelter, food, and fresh water to endure the fatigue and the heat that made their work very difficult, they set foot in Mykonos. Only 2 miles away, it was a beautiful island with unique sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, and with few inhabitants who were mostly fishermen.

In the following years Mykonos was discovered by the Athenian bourgeoisie and became paradise for international celebrities. Gradually, the friendly islanders learned to welcome and accommodate the growing crowds of travelers sailing in, in a way that had nothing to envy from similar legendary holiday destinations such as Ibiza, St. Tropez, or Monaco. Ever since, hotels, resorts and beautiful private villas with full amenities keep attracting Mykonos’ lovers who know how to recognize the authenticity and true charm of this unique Aegean rock that is reborn every year, turning holidays into a magical experience for all!
