Avra Mykonos

Nice hotel clean and good food

Let’s address the elephant in the room – the location isn’t in Mykonos Town per say, which has to be accessed by a €10 taxi (which reception will order for you, and there’s a bustling taxi station right in the centre of the town) or else a sea bus (a lovely and quick ride albeit a 10-minute walk on a footpath-less road to the departure point at the New Port). You couldn’t safely walk to the town despite it being a mere kilometre away as the crow flies – the road is too windy and dangerous with massive lorries whizzing past. But where the Avra makes up for it is price, service and the room. We were coming to the end of our trip a low on funds, and given how expensive Mykonos can be (€9 bottles of beer and €25 shots of whiskey) we were glad the hotel had a comparatively low price point, and were generally happy to make the trip back-and-forth. They even upgraded our room to give us a sea (and New Port) view complete with ocean liners the size of apartment blocks, though do yourself a favour and splash out for a room with a mini pool – we were extremely envious of our neighbours below when the day was at its hottest. The room was modern, spotless and so well-designed. Both the air con and the waterfall-headed shower were strong, there was a mini fridge, desk and TV with some English channels. We watched Erin Brockovich while chowing down on €9 wraps from the nearby Cantina – a delivery order that Odysseus on reception called in on our behalf, and which arrived in minutes. Breakfast was nice albeit basic enough with croissants, ham, cheese, omelets, cereal and coffee. The bar was limited though we got a strong rum and Coke which was nice. There’s also a small but very good supermarket beside the Cantina restaurant where we got our water, beers (Mythos and Alpha FTW) and snacks. All the staff were so friendly at all times and worked so hard to ensure we’d everything we needed. Special thanks to Odysseus, Kalypso, and Maria who kindly dropped us to the port on the day we were getting the boat back to Athens. A great option at a great price point considering the small trade-off.

A very nice hotel with an amazing view to the harbor and the sunset and the nicest and most friendly people working there. The location is not so good. No beach nearby and a very trafficked road without a sidewalk.

My wife and I stayed in July 2023. An incredible stay, they went above and beyond to make it extra special. The room was beautiful and had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfy. The breakfast - wow - cafe freddo’s were sublime. Ideal location, away from the busy noisy town but close enough via the boat taxi that was conveniently across the road. Cute beach was a short walk away. Very close to Zuma. The lady on reception was so nice and helpful. 10/10.

Todo muy bien! Muy bien! Hotel muy nuevo con habitaciones amplias y muy cómodas. Ubicado muy cerca del puerto nuevo y bien comunicado con el puerto antiguo y centro de Mykonos. El personal ha sido un 10, muy preocupados y muy amables.

IMPRESIONANTE Impresionante. Únicamente avisar a los viajeros que la recepción no está abierta 24 h, pero el personal muy amable. Incluso nos acercaron al puerto a coger un ferry sin coste. Muy recomendable . Si vuelvo a Mykonos este será mi hogar.
