Don’t miss the exhibition of Renato Freitas (www.renatofreitas.com)  at July 7 - 20

Minima Gallery, established in 1997 in the town of Mykonos, exhibits contemporary artistic creations and represents the work of known Greek and foreign artists.

A myriad of services within 20,000 sq. m. pay homage to personal well-being. With 136 rooms, 12 suites and villas equipped respectively with Jacuzzi-steam baths and private pools, the Breeze pool bar which specializes in cocktails, gastronomic delights, the gourmet restaurant Symposium which overlooks Delos, and the private Seven Heaven with Mediterranean flowers with touches of international cuisine under the special terrace. All of this, along with a quick stop at the Aphrodite SPA of course.

The Grace is as simple as a Doric temple with a discrete sense of luxury exuding sophistication, from a design by N. Travasaros.  An international deco concept prevails in both suites and rooms: try the Grace Suite’s plunge pool or the Honeymoon suite with its own wet bar. Other pluses include the magnificent pool and the renovated restaurant with its inspired dishes.
Hot point: The Lounge Library’s vaulted terrace, where you can find books, international newspapers and DVDs on flat screen.

"The buyers are trying to take advantage of the crisis in order to acquire the best properties"

"Mykonos remains a top destination and will not share the same fate as other regions in Greece. It will be the last castle to fall. "

"There is a shift in Mykonos real estate towards people with significant financial means who not affected by the crisis. The middle market is all but dead.”

Owner and chef of Babula, Petroula Skaya-Galouni generously offers the luxury of simplicity through homemade Mykonian recipes cooked with fresh seafood and seawater, just as fishermen do on their boat!
