Afrodite Villa on the Sea

Our family of four was visiting Mykonos for my cousin’s wedding and Costa Ilios was a fantastic place to stay. The views of Ornos Bay from the villa were spectacular and we made use of the private beach and pool almost daily. Our host, Alex, was very personable, responsive, and helpful. You can tell she is invested in her guests’ experience. Yanko, the on-site associate, was also a great help and very attentive.The villa itself is quaint with nice personal touches. Our girls appreciated having their own bedrooms and space, but we all also loved gathering together on the front patio for meals and to enjoy the glistening bay at night. It wasn’t just a place to stay, it was an important part of our time in Mykonos.The listing on VRBO has an incorrect location of the property on the map - it is on the western coast of the bay, not the east (Google Mapping “Costa Ilios Mykonos” gives an accurate location). Alex was fast to acknowledge this and it didn’t change our plans one bit.We did rent a car, which is necessary to have convenient access to Mykonos Town, restaurants, and other beaches. Driving around the island is not for the feint of heart, but unlocks access to all Mykonos has to offer.We would certainly stay at this property again and would recommend it to anyone wanting a nice, relaxing stay in Mykonos.Ευχαριστώ!

The location was perfect- close to main attractions and with a commanding view of the water. The unit was spacious for the 6 of us (3generations) but it was the outdoors that attracted us. The resort has a large pool and a private beach. Alexandra is a native and an experienced traveler. Her recommendations were priceless!

We spent most of our time while at the villa on the front patio overlooking the sea. Two upstairs bedrooms very comfortable. Two downstairs bedrooms were fine but dark. You’ll need a car to get around, we used a driving service and found we could get most places in 15-20 minutes.

The villa was clean and just the right size of 4 adults.

We cannot recommend this villa enough! Brilliant location, great views, easy access to pool and very special beach. The owner is very helpful, and thoughtfully supplied a lot of basic essentials (not usual on VRBO!) and much appreciated.
