Maria and her staff were some of the most gracious, lovely people we have ever encountered at a hotel. Erato Mykonos feels like a lovely home to retreat to after a long day of exploring, beach days, Mykonos town, and more. The beds are amazingly comfortable. The daily breakfast is so fresh and delicious with choices for everyone and a wide selection of items. They play lovely, peaceful music in the lobby and during breakfast. All staff are so eager to help you with anything needed. The view from our balcony of the beach and mountains was just beautiful. I cannot say enough about Erato Hotel Mykonos! It is the very best location and steps from Ornos beach. We don't like to stay near the party crowds and loud discos of Mykonos Town, so we chose this location on purpose and it was a great decision. We were enchanted by this lovely, little property. Most flights on your day of departure leave well after check-out of 11am. You can leave your bags and enjoy the beach if you would like. There are even places to shower before your flight and after check out if needed. Mykonos bakery and other wonderful, traditional Greek restaurants are in walking distance. The bus stop is located literally at the end of the street of the hotel. Super convenient for going to Mykonos Town for 1.80 Euros. Keep in mind that there are only 32 taxis on Mykonos so this is the best option and so affordable. Save your money for shopping and dining and take the bus! Lovely hotel. We highly recommend!!
