Cycladic hillside haven
Days unfold lazily along the sun-drenched infinity pool deck, where Aegean breezes accompany chilled drinks and unhurried coastal afternoons.
“The project has returned the 69-room Myconian – its sturdy silhouette of tessellated white cubes ... to one of gleaming white prominence in the neighbourhood.”

What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Wallpaper*.
The location, on a hillside just above the beach at Platis Gialos, makes for stunning sea views.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Steps lead straight down to Platis Gialos sands, with scenic coastal trails winding over to Psarou and Paranga bays.
The rooms
Light-filled spaces feature crisp Cycladic tones, with select suites extending onto terraces fitted with private plunge pools or hot tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool stretches across the main terrace, looking straight out over Platis Gialos bay.
The spa and studio
Three indoor seawater pools circulate heated water with hydrotherapy jets, and the Pilates studio opens onto a sea-facing balcony.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Efisia serves fresh Aegean seafood under stone alcoves, and sunset drinks are poured on the poolside terrace.
How it began
Founded in 1979 by the Daktylides family, the property was the group's first luxury outpost on Platis Gialos.
