Some shots from two days of site visits in Mykonos, Greece (April 2023)

Working my way through pictures and notes of semi-recent trips I am posting about and today's entry will be brief but very visual. Part of what we do on our market trips is to get to know the various properties we partner with (or, might partner with, in some cases when we're checking out a new hotel). Accommodations are a very important part of one's experience in Mykonos. So we spent a good chunk of two days visiting a number of partners. Had some beautiful weather for it. As with most of my posts from this Greece trip, my camera instincts were inconsistent. But I have enough to give a good flavor of the exercise.

First stop was Harmony Boutique Hotel. Very solid option. Walkable to town. Nice rooms. Decent pool area.

Apparently I only have this one shot from our stop at Ilio Maris. Pool area with strong scenery off in the background.

Similarly, just one shot from the Myconian Korali, which if I remember correctly was still very much in the process of getting ready to open for the season. So we were trailing the manager and taking in a lot of info rather than stopping and snapping. And it's part of a compound with Myconian Kyma and Myconian Naia. Felt big.

Grabbed a few from Bill & Coo, which I remember being very sharp and polished.

Up until this point all of the hotels we had visited were beautiful. I'd be quite happy staying at any of them. But Anax was a wow to walk around. Just oozed contemporary luxury with every detail.

Next in my photoroll was Mykonos Grand. I remember the sales director who walked us around here. She was a hoot. Old pro. Very nice. And the property is cool. Winning combination of contemporary and retro chic. Some big villa-esque options there if you're traveling with extended family or friends. Resorty with some old school charm.

Last one in my photos was Mykonos No5. This one was an outlier in terms of location. Seems like the area is still developing as there was evidence of construction off in a few directions. Couldn't quite say if it was just getting started or had been abandoned. Maybe some of both.

Staff was very nice. Rooms are great. Strong pool area. And they fixed us a nice drink while we waited for a taxi. One thing I noted, though, was given its position the sunset would be going down behind you. Felt the chill of being in the shade during out visit in late April. Very nice, but would be lower down my personal list of places to stay just based on its location.
