Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Drafaki's quiet hillside sits above the crowds, a fifteen-minute walk from the busy lanes of Mykonos Town.
The rooms
Suites come with kitchenettes and handcrafted beds, and executive options add private outdoor hot tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freeform freshwater pool has built-in hydro-massage jets and looks west toward the Aegean sunset.
Restaurant
The Culinary Act
The open-air restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes under a timber pergola, using bio-greens from the hotel garden.

How it began
The Andronikou family founded the property in 1986, later enlisting architect Stella Andronikou to modernize its Cycladic masonry.
