Our Assessment
Design luxury on the hill above Elia Beach: Mykonos, when the glamour grows quieter.
If Mykonos should be glamorous but never loud, Avaton is the Collection’s secluded place above Elia Beach.

Climate & best time to travel
Best time to travel May to June and September to October
Mykonos sits in the heart of the Cyclades and knows the Meltemi well, the reason it is called the island of the winds. In May/June and September/October days run 22 to 28 degrees, the sea is pleasant and the bays are calmer. July and August bring full season, 30 degrees and the strongest wind, felt most on the north-facing beaches. South-facing Elia Beach is often the more sheltered choice then.

Experiences
The island's longest sandy beach lies right below the Avaton's hill, on the sheltered south side. Calmer than the north bays, with clear, often wind-free water.
Through the whitewashed lanes of the old town, past the windmills and on to Little Venice, where the houses stand over the water. About twenty minutes from the hotel.
The uninhabited neighbouring island is one of Greece's most important ancient sites and a UNESCO site. Temples, mosaics and the Terrace of the Lions, reachable on a guided morning tour.
The quiet inland village with the sixteenth-century Panagia Tourliani monastery and tavernas that serve locals more than visitors.
