Hotel Princess of Mykonos

Hotel Princess of Mykonos details

"A classic Greek number overlooking the beach, this gay-friendly hotel offers up tradition and style in equal measure."

Imagine a Greek Island hotel and it’s more than likely it’ll look like this – all whitewashed sugarcube-style buildings with bright blue shutters. But don’t let its traditional exterior fool you - this place comes with a whole host of trendy features, too. Check out the pool for starters. Its zebra-patterned tile effect gives the whole scene a fashionable edge. Plus there’s a poolside bar here serving cocktails throughout the day.

Head inside and the bedrooms have an elegant pared-down style. White walls, exposed brickwork and cool tile floors are the mainstays, while vintage-esque mirrors and bold contemporary artwork create a sense of individuality.

On the food front, the hotel restaurant serves up a mix of traditional Greek cuisine with a modern edge – think mezes, fresh seafood, grilled meats and mixed salads. Plus, there’s a stellar cast of classic dishes like homemade burgers, too.

Lastly, there’s the location. The hotel overlooks Saint Stefanos Beach, so you’re minutes away from the sand. Mykonos Town is within walking distance, too - and it certainly lives up to its reputation as one of the gay capitals of Europe. For the latest addition to the nightlife, head to Jackie O’s. Set on the Paraportiani Waterfront in the old harbour, it serves up a fabulous helping of retro glam. What’s more, you can hop on a bus or a water taxi and head down to the south end of the island. With three gay beaches to choose from it’s well worth a look.
