Best Family Hotels in Mykonos
Mykonos features some of the best hotels and resorts in Greece. Katikies Hotel Mykonos, for example, was among Greece’s four luxury hotels and resorts that won FTG’s 5-Star Rating. Katikies Mykonos, located above the Agios Ioannis bay on Mykonos, was characterized by FTG as a “tranquil, chic refuge”. FTG’s inspectors hailed the hotel’s offering of stylish suites with a private pool as well as the view of the historic Delos Island from its infinity pools. Katikies Mykonos’ Mikrasia restaurant and A.Spa also got praise for their sophisticated culinary variety and individual wellness treatments, respectively.
