Mykonos has been waiting patiently to welcome its first post-lockdown visitors in a summer that looks like no other summer of the recent global history. During the first wave of the pandemic, Greece has been acknowledged around the world as one of the most “covid-proof” countries, with very few casualties.

During patiently waiting, the island was getting prepared to provide its guests with the best possible safety and precaution measures that will guarantee an authentic Mykonian experience without unnecessary risk-taking.

In this battle there are some extremely strong “weapons” that must be well considered: one is the fact that Mykonos’ spectacular coastline is literally full of amazing beaches; many of them are more on the cosmopolitan side, yet very well organized and equipped for the necessary social distancing. But there are some secret paradises, most of which are accessible only by boat, that offer an almost private unparalleled swimming and sunbathing experience.

And then, there is the famous wind: blowing from the north, the traditional “meltemi” wind can get really strong, especially during the warmest hours of the day, creating ideal conditions for some of the most exciting and popular, wind-driven water sports. Available in many of the organized beaches, they will help your adrenaline rise above the clouds and will totally satisfy your need for something much more adventurous than just resting under the sun! In addition, they will offer you the opportunity to enjoy them on your own: only you, the wind, and the waves for the absolute distancing!

So, depending on your taste and… stamina you can chose the water sport of your preference among a great variety that includes the famous “banana”, tubes, parachute, surfing, wind surfing, SUP, wakeboard, kneeboard, diving, water skiing and much, much more! None of them requires professional skills or experience. You will be guided through them by qualified instructors who will make sure that you will have the time of your life, remaining safe at the same time.

Another magical, solitary experience is diving so that you can discover the underwater treasures of the crystal-clear Aegean Sea. There are many diving schools in Mykonos offering excursions to certified divers and training for beginners. The waters around the island are safe and with a high visibility. All you have to do is follow the instructions and the rhythm of your breath as you dive into the breathtaking big blue!

So what are you waiting for? Book your stay with us and get ready for an amazing summer, full of rewarding experiences!

Summer is loading — but this year’s summer seems to be a very strange, totally unusual one, that calls for new habits and maybe for a more relaxed and isolated holiday lifestyle!

The COVID-19 pandemic is changing our lives in ways that we had never imagined before and we are all looking for the best and safest choices for ourselves and our loved ones. So, why don’t you leave behind the anxiety of the city and escape in truly luxurious stress-free zones to savor the magic of the blue-colored horizon, where the clear skies meet with the vastness of the deep clear sea waters, under the warmth of the ever shining sun?

All you need to have this blissful experience is do some clever booking for a once-in-a-lifetime stay in Mykonos, the beauty queen of the famous Cyclades — the unique Greek archipelago that includes some of the most beautiful islands in the world! Amazing beaches with beautiful turquoise waters, small deserted spots ideal for snorkeling, breathtaking romantic sunsets and tiny villages with dazzling white houses and dozens of small chapels, “hanging” from rocky cliffs; you can have it all by choosing to stay away from the crowds and get to know this heaven on earth in the most ‘royal’ way!

And what could be more ‘royal-ish’ than sailing around Mykonos’ coastline and the neighboring islands, like the sacred Delos Island, world-famous birthplace of Apollo, ancient god of Music?

You can combine your stay at M Mykonos Villas, where all your needs will be met for a most ‘healing’ relaxation, with a 2– or even 3–day cruise onboard the vessel of your dreams! The agencies operating on the islan offer a large variety of rental boats, from beautiful handcrafted “caiques” to mega-yachts, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and featuring top quality services. Depending on the weather —as sometimes it can get rather windy in the area— the crew will schedule the ideal itinerary for you and make sure that you will enjoy a most memorable, safe cruise that will be cherished in your heart as a lifetime experience! You will swim in azure crystal waters that you could never even dream of, enjoy the most spectacular watersports, and have a candle-lit dinner on a remote beach, under the amazing starry skies.

Slowing down in Mykonos under the hot sun and with the whole island ready to offer the safest possible holiday experience, will certainly make you feel that every god and goddess of the Greek mythology have joined hands to let you enjoy what could be the best summer of your life!

When all this is over, Mykonos will be more beautiful than ever! Even though it is difficult to imagine this rocking paradise staying still even for a moment, it did. Joining this unprecedented #stayhome global initiative, Mykonians took a large step back, postponing the frenzy of the summer preparations for when it will be time to end the quarantine.

Nobody knows yet how long it will take before the first international flight, full of tourists, will land on the island. It doesn’t matter anyhow as it doesn’t even necessarily have to be in the heart of summer. Mykonos is beautiful throughout the year and even the best tourist guides fail to show that what one really expects from this blessed Aegean diamond, is the unexpected: the unexpected warmth of the October sea, the stunning autumn colors of the sunset on nearby sacred Delos; the musical sounds that seem to sing along with the wind through the stone made windmills in early spring, the glory of the nature during Easter time in late April or May; there is beauty every time, everywhere waiting to be discovered.

In the summer there is a beach life beyond imagination, with crystal clear waters, velvet sand and the sun shining till late in the afternoon. Some of the beaches are ideal for swimming and lounging, in others the party is always loud, there are family-friendly, nude-friendly, water-sports-friendly, snorkeling-friendly and so many more friendly beaches, including a few remote treasures along the island’s coastline.

The season usually starts in early April and doesn’t end before late October, leaving thus only a short wintertime for the locals to relax and get ready for a more intense, rocking new season. During the rest of the year there is a great variety of things to do and see: a super-hot nightlife, excellent food, exclusive shopping, historical sites, Byzantine churches and monasteries, museums, picturesque corners — and the beauty never ends!

So, as soon as the COVID-19-related restrictions are over, book your stay in Mykonos and plan a most relaxing and at the same time exciting holiday, to wash off the fear and stress we are currently experiencing and feel reborn in the deep blue of the Aegean Sea! And everything around you will be more beautiful than ever before.
