The Area
Simone is located in the southeast of Mykonos, just 250m from the golden sands of Kalafati beach, one of Mykonos's most beautiful. There are three restaurants on Kalafati Bay and a watersports centre offering windsurfing lessons and equipment hire (as well as SUPS and kayaks).
Other beaches nearby include those of Agia Anna, Lia, Kalo Livadi, Agia Anna and Kalafati, all of which are within a 5- to 7-minute drive away. Between them, they offer some excellent seafront tavernas, beach clubs, and water sports and diving centres.
The nearest mini-markets, shops and other amenities are found in the charming historic village of Ano Mera. Just a 5-minute drive away, it is a pleasure to explore and has plenty of cafés and tavernas in which to people-watch, sip on a drink and dine.
Mykonos Town, with its vibrant, colourful and picturesque old centre is just 15 minutes away, and there's plenty to enjoy there, not least a great selection of tavernas, boutiques, cafés and bars.
Since it was “discovered” in the 1960s, Mykonos has become one of Greece’s most famous and cosmopolitan islands and one of the hippest destinations in Europe. It is beloved of fashionistas, celebrities and party-goers, but also attracts discerning travellers in search of a harmonious ambience in which to relax, unwind and have fun.
The island is easily explorable in a week, and offers a vibrant beach life, a great many options for water sports, wonderful views, a fabulous variety of great restaurants, and a legendary party scene. With its many bays and coves, it is also a great destination for those who enjoy spending time messing about on boats, and we warmly recommend you rent one for a day or two to discover Mykonos's gorgeous coastline.
Just across the water is the sacred island of Delos, birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. Similarly close is the island of Tinos, so if island-hopping’s your thing, there are plenty of adventures awaiting you.

Private boat charters in Mykonos
The beauty of Mykonos can only ever be enhanced when experiencing it from a different perspective. With boat trips that cruise along some of the island's most idyllic coastline, you can discover hidden bays, sandy beaches and delicious seaside restaurants while diving straight into enticing waters and drying off under the gleaming sun. Why not also travel further afield and visit the breathtaking islands of Rhenia and Delos dotted on the southwestern coast of Mykonos? Our private boat trips are available for quick half-day cruises or long, luxurious full day charters.
DiscoverCulinary experiences
Mykonos is known as a cosmopolitan destination, attracting visitors from the world over, and the culinary world is no exception. The finest international chefs flock to the island to hone and develop their skills, but the gastronomic soul of Mykonos remains proudly Greek, with local ingredients and traditional dishes playing an important role in the food scene.
DiscoverPrivate boat charters in Paros and Antiparos
Paros and Antiparos are exactly at the center of the Cyclades, offering a great vantage point from which you can have amazing day cruises in magical spots with amazing waters. Several Cycladic islands such as Sifnos, Schinoussa, Donousa, and Koufonissia are also within a short reach from Paros and definitely worth a visit.
DiscoverBoat trips on Kea
Kea is the closest of the Cyclades to the mainland, a mere hour away, and yet seems gloriously detached from the troubles and travails of the world. Its sparkling clear waters in particular invite total relaxation, and are best appreciated by boat for a fully immersive experience.

We had a perfect holiday at Simone.

Simone is a gorgeous and well designed villa with amazing views but moreover it is the small touches that make the difference: excellent on the ground support and amazing meals cooked by a local chef. All the rooms were perfectly appointed, it has a a well stocked kitchen and a very useful area to grill meat on a warm Greek evening. We loved our time at Simone and will definitely use The Thinking Traveller again. Thank you to all who made the holiday so perfect.
