A Wimco Trip Report for Mykonos
I arrived in Mykonos, and was greeted by Federico Arduino and Hayden Kemp (Local guest relations managers) holding a “Lady Suzanne” sign. Nothing like starting off your trip feeling like royalty!
We drove to my home for the next 5 nights, Villa Kerithium, which is a wonderful 3-bedroom villa in the Parenthesis villa resort in Agios Ioannis. Federico had provisioned my villa with a few essentials: coffee, water, wine, roast chicken, a Greek salad, and some bread. After dinner, I crawled into my very comfortable king-sized bed and was out like a light.
I woke the next morning earlier than usual. I looked out my window to find the most gorgeous view-the sacred island of Delos was golden against the deep blue of the Aegean Sea. I could hear the lapping of the waves against the shore. The Greek islands are a state of mind, tranquil, soothing, rich in history, timeless.... while at the same time very chic. Even with this being my fourth time to these beautiful islands, I'm still in awe, always...
I decided to explore the area of Agios Ioannis, where all the Parenthesis villas are located, and grab a cup of coffee. This quiet area with its great breezes, views, small restaurants and tavernas, and lovely beaches - Kapari and Agios Ioannis (made famous by the movie "Shirley Valentine") - is dreamy. This is a great family area not far from Mykonos town (known as Hora). Three minutes from my villa was Apollonia Bay restaurant, a great little eatery with a nice menu and views, good for our clients who stay in this area and don't want to venture out too far for a bite. Later stopped at a small convenience store owned by a long time local, Spiros, who owned much of the land in this area and wanted to make sure it never got overdeveloped - in typical Greek fashion, he refused to let me pay for my coffee, as a sign of hospitality.
