Mykonos, GreeceHotel Mykonos Grand
Our vacation on the sun drenched island of Mykonos was a memorable one.
The Island is exactly what you would expect of Greece, beautiful white painted houses, cobblestoned pavements, picturesque tree's and flowers, all surrounded by the deep blue crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean.
You can have any type of holiday you wish on this island. It's known for its Ibiza esq. nightlife where locals and tourist alike can party till dawn, in vast contrast it to, can be as relaxing as a week at a Spa!
Relaxing by the pool, wearing Myla bikini and Emilio Pucci Visor.
We stayed for two weeks in July at the Mykonos Grand hotel. Set on the coastline boasting panoramic views of the ocean this hotel was a perfect choice.
The pool was never too busy and the food here was always of high standard. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive.
Known as the windy island, the winds can pick up quite a lot in July and August, which personaly I thought was a god send as temperatures at this time can reach a balmy 30 degree's and above! My only advice.... girls leave your lip glosses at home in the evening if you're wearing your hair down, sport a matt lip as hair sticking to your lipgloss isn't a good look..........in any country!
The bar staff will make you any Martini you wish, Apple and watermelon were our particular favourites!
Psarou Beach is an exclusive beach on the island. We spent a morning there, but found service to be non existent, sound loungers were bumper to bumper, (not my kind of sunbathing) and there were no parasols at all and with the sun at burning temperatures this was like torture for l'il blonde me! So while it's worth seeing, as the water is beautiful and they have a great little boutique on the entrance to the beach (with the added glamourous bonus of silk covered Cavalli cushions on the sofa outside), it's not somewhere you would stay for long (if you're like me and like your service to be prompt inc. a smile!) Going back to the boutique, the lines they carry are the amazing St. Barth's products, Missoni, Pucci and Christian Louboutin to name but a few, so remember to take the plastic!
Psarou Beach - do you see how you could end up with a strangers foot next to your ear! No thanks! but a beautiful beach.
