Rent villas this summer in beautiful Ornos, Mykonos

Mykonos is famous for its very extravagant villas and hotels and its exclusive bars and night-clubs – which are often frequented by celebrities from Greece, Europe and many other parts of the world – but it’s also famous for its scenic villages with traditional white washed houses, churches and of course windmills, which are always associated with this island since Mykonos is also known as the “island of the winds”. If you would like to spend your summer vacation in a quiet, scenic village which is practically next to the “heart” of the island, then the small town of Ornos is the perfect choice.

Far from the maddening crowds

Ornos is a small village located about two kilometers west of Mykonos, the island’s capital and where all the famous clubs and bars are located. Despite being practically next to the “heart of the island” however, Ornos is rather quiet and nowhere near as crowded as Mykonos, which is overrun by tourists during the months of July and August. Ornos is also famous for its gorgeous beach that, almost always, remains unaffected by the strong winds that Mykonos is known for (remember when we said that the Greeks call it “island of the winds”?). The beach also has a marina and small port that can accommodate many yachts and sailboats.

What makes Ornos truly unique, when it comes to towns in Mykonos, is the fact that it is a traditional Cycladic village providing its visitors with a taste of traditional island living without compromising when it comes to modern day luxury and amenities. Ornos is full of traditional white houses and churches, perfect examples of the famous Cycladic architectural style. Ornos is not all about tradition though, it is also all about leisure and fun since it has many shops, restaurants and bars. Finally, the rather small distance from the island’s capital makes it an ideal for those who want to experience the luxury and unique night-life that Mykonos is known for, without having to put up with the hordes of tourists that dominate the “capital”.

If you would like to spend your vacation relaxing in luxury and gat a taste of Mykonos’ famous night-life during the nights, then you can’t go wrong with an Ornos villa.

They are also all about privacy, making them perfect for people who want to avoid the crowds of tourists and paparazzi that populate the tiny streets of Mykonos.
