This villa is located on the island of Mykonos, 150 meters from Elia Beach, a sandy beach with sunbeds, umbrellas, and restaurants. The village of Ano Mera, home to the Panagio Tourliani Monastery, is two kilometers away, and is worth a visit for its quaint charm. The town of Mykonos is seven kilometers away, characterized by its all-white buildings (which are mandated by city law!) with colorful windows and doors. Wherever you go it is likely that there will be a windmill within sight; if you seek one out, you will find that, although it is no longer used for its original purposes, it has probably been transformed into a museum or a private home. Perhaps the most photographed structure on the island is the unique Paraportiani, a cluster of four churches with a fifth actually built on top of one of the others, accessed via a stairway. In the harbor you may run into Petros—a friendly (and enormous) pelican who wanders through Alevkantra and the harbor around Mykonos town, accepting food and affection from children and adults alike. There are also plenty of opportunities for fun seaside activities, such as snorkeling, diving, and windsurfing. If you feel up for adventure, you can hire a boat to go to Delos, a small nearby island filled with the crumbling ruins of an ancient religious center. Exploring the island of Mykonos is also very easy, since it is a rather small island. You can rent a car, but scooters are more convenient and fun! You will find lots of beautiful beaches, shopping areas, and… rocks! That's right, rocks. In Greek mythology, Mykonos was the place where Hercules battled the giants, and it is said that the enormous rocks scattered over the island are their fallen corpses.
