Magic of Mykonos
With Mykonos now apparently usurping Ibiza as the destination for the Cristal-sipping MTV crowd, so how does one do it in stylish, quiet romance whilst at the same time being close enough to dip into that scene if you want to?
The choice of luxury is wide, but our favourites would be Myconian Naia because it’s just so gorgeous and an easy ten-minute stroll into town if you can tear yourself away.
Santa Marina is another favourite because it boasts its own private beach and is home to the Buddha Bar.
Don’t miss the ‘no reservations’ Kiki’s Tavern, there’s no website so have the hotel arrange transport.
If you’re obsessed with Mama Mia and need to visit the island where it was filmed, then you’ll be going to Skopelos.
You’ll need to fly to Skiathos and then take a ferry.
There’s probably only one place that measures up to stay and that’s Adrina Beach and it’s really quite lovely.
Wherever you decide to go, if you don’t fly directly into Mykonos or Santorini for instance, then you may find yourself overnighting in Athens, which is really no hardship.
Be sure to book rooms at the Grand Bretagne and have dinner in the impossibly romantic and only restaurant in the Plaka frequented by locals, Psaras.
