The 15-room Lithos by Spyros and Flora is an upscale boutique hotel located a few miles from central Mykonos, along the shore at Agios Ioannis Beach. Whitewashed and quintessentially Greek in appearance and decor, the hotel has been created with enormous attention to detail, from stylish poolside lounge chairs to unique stone and glass tables in the lobby. Rooms are very large, modern and stylish, with crisp white decor and elegant glass-enclosed showers, plus kitchenettes and private verandas with sea views. The pool terrace, with incredible vistas of the Aegean Sea, is perfect for a sophisticated cocktail as the sun goes down. This is a wonderful value for this category of property, but travelers wanting more amenities, like a spa and gym, could try the Myconian K Hotels.
Scene
Peaceful, stunning seaside setting with sophisticated vibe
Lithos by Spyros and Flora is a chic and elegant Mykonos hotel, set far enough away from the more populated areas of the island to make it a peaceful, sun-drenched oasis for visitors -- many are international guests keen to sit by the pool or explore nearby beaches. The whitewashed, terraced look of the hotel give the impression of age, but it is new, quality construction, thoughtfully designed for guest privacy and comfort. Stone walls and walkways, various porches and balconies, and the pool deck offer numerous vantage points for visitors to relax and wonder at the sweeping vista of the Aegean Sea. Designer cocktails can be enjoyed at the poolside bar while stretched out on a stylish white sun-bed or at one of the bright white tables. The lobby bar is small and predominately white, with cool, glass-topped round tables filled with river stones -- an example of the stylish simplicity that characterizes this property.
The hosts take great care to make their guests' stays memorable, offering personal recommendations for outings and restaurants.
Location
Near the beach, with gorgeous views, far from the tourist crowds
The Lithos by Spyros and Flora is a five-minute walk from Agios Ioannis Beach, and is surrounded by hotels, but manages to feel secluded and peaceful -- thanks in part to cozy nooks, balconies, and quiet walkways. The airport is three miles from the hotel, and the center of Mykonos is two-and-a-half miles away. The bus into Mykonos and to Ornos Beach stops right outside, but guests who want to tour the island extensively may want to rent a car, ATV, or bicycle. Water taxis from Ornos Beach are available for access to other nearby beaches, include Elias.
