Getting Around:
A cosmopolitan crowd flocks each year to Mykonos, the crown jewel of the Cyclades islands. Its turquoise beaches with crystal clear waters, world-class dining, ancient culture, and vibrant nightlife in Mykonos Town draw visitors from around the world.
The turquoise waters of Kalafatis Bay sit on the southeast side of the island, just 11km away from the Mykonos Town harbor and the airport. The bay is the largest on the island and the only beach to receive "Blue Flag" status in recent years. If you want to get away from the hordes of tourists and development more commonly found in Mykonos Town, you've come to the right place! You'll find areas of the bay that are quiet and less organized and ones that are highly organized with sun loungers and umbrellas for rent. Nearby are the equally lovely beaches of Kalo Livadi and Lia.
There are mini-markets, restaurants, and taverns specializing in local seafood dishes near the villa.
Kalafatis can be reached by public bus from Chora's Old Port bus station in the town of Mykonos. This area can also be reached by car or motorbike. (Note that there is no water taxi service to Kalafatis.)
While Mykonos is known for its jet-setting crowds, this is still an island that pays homage to its ancient roots. Once you leave Mykonos Town, much of life on the island remains unchanged. There are rolling hills and rugged cliffs, scenic landscapes, and beautiful beaches across the island. Its iconic whitewashed stone dwellings still dot the land toda
