Holidays – and therefore sleeping – at Deos Mykonos are the Greek dream
When we are still looking for an address to have a good nap on the Ibiza of Greece, we suddenly stumble across deodorantsSituated on a hill above the old harbor and less than a ten-minute walk from the center, the hotel feels both quieter and more architecturally sophisticated than you'd expect on Mykonos. In a good way, so to speak. The 60 rooms and suites feature private terraces, hot tubs or small pools, and, of course, views of the Aegean Sea.
And that sounds big, bigger, biggest, but Deos is part of the family-run Myconian Collection and there's a nice story behind that.
What began in the 60s with George Daktylides, a van, and a secondhand bulldozer has grown into a family business that now manages one of the island's most extensive hospitality portfolios. The hotels are, if we may say so, simply very nice. And everything is done organically, seasonally, and stylishly.
And so it is at Deos, where they've once again secured a fantastic location. On one side, the hotel looks out towards the horizon where the sun sets behind the sea every evening, while the other looks down on the city's windmills.

Interiors of wood, marble, and limestone simply make it beautiful, and the spa is carved from natural rock.
Plenty to enjoy in Mykonos, but culinary is... Epic, the hotel's restaurant, led by Chef Ilias Maslaris, takes center stage. Here, Mediterranean tradition is expressed with seasonal produce, local fish and seafood, and herbs and vegetables from Cycladic growers. The wine list is full of wines from independent Greek vineyards, some of which are even organic and sustainable. Bucket list material, which – of course – comes with a price tag…
