Description White Lights: Kalafati

Mykonos might be famed for its nightlife, but at this charming whitewashed villa, you'll experience the island's softer side. Just two kilometres from a white-sand beach and Greece's impossibly turquoise waters, the home sits in its own peaceful plot with a private garden and swimming pool.

Start your mornings by sipping coffee on a lounger and gazing out at the hazy streak of sea on the horizon. If you feel it beckoning, you won't have to travel far – Agia Anna beach is just a five-minute drive away. Inside, the villa is bright and elegantly decorated, with a well-equipped kitchen and five restful bedrooms.

If you've arrived by car, it's worth making the scenic fifteen-minute trip to Mykonos' lively main town. Here, you'll find a fascinating archaeological museum, as well as a plethora of characterful cocktail bars. The stone-paved streets are dappled with bright bougainvillaea flowers, giving the town that iconic Grecian feel we're all so fond of.
