Why we love it
The setting
Semeli Hotel sits just above Mykonos Town, about 188 metres from the centre, so you can walk down into Chora in a few minutes and back up again whenever you like. The whitewashed buildings, blue shutters and bursts of bougainvillea give it the look most people picture when they think of the Cyclades. From the upper terraces you get views across the rooftops to the sea. Megali Ammos Beach is under half a kilometre away if you fancy a swim before dinner.
What to expect
The hotel keeps things calm and uncluttered. Rooms are bright and white, with a balcony or terrace looking out over the town or the gardens. There is a pool area framed by stone walls and flowers, plus a separate evening pool lit up after dark. The on-site restaurant runs an open-air terrace with sea views, and some rooms come with their own private plunge pool or hot tub. Service is the unhurried kind that suits a quiet few days rather than a packed schedule.
Things to do nearby
You are close to most of what brings people to Mykonos. The centre of Chora, with its lanes of shops and tavernas, is a short downhill walk. Little Venice, with its waterfront bars, is reachable on foot from there. Megali Ammos Beach is 448 metres away, Choras Mikonou Beach about 512 metres, and the Old Port roughly 864 metres off. The airport sits only 1.5 kilometres from the door, which keeps arrival and departure days simple.
Best for
Couples who want a base in walking distance of Mykonos Town without staying in the thick of the noise. The quiet setting, pool and sea views suit a relaxed November break for two.

Your 5 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival and Little Venice
Arrive from the airport, which is only a short hop away, and settle into your room. Spend the first evening finding your feet with a slow walk down into Chora and a drink by the water in Little Venice.
Pool and Megali Ammos
Take the day at the hotel. Swim in the pool, read on the terrace, then wander down to Megali Ammos Beach in the afternoon for a dip and a look at the sea.
Chora and the windmills
Head into Mykonos Town properly. Lose an hour or two in the narrow lanes, the shops and the windmills, then pick a taverna for a long lunch before heading back uphill.
Old Port and quiet beaches
Explore a little further out. Walk or take a short ride to the Old Port and the quieter beaches beyond the centre, then return for dinner on the restaurant terrace as the sky goes dark.
Last slow morning
Enjoy a final slow breakfast and one last look at the view before checking out. With the airport so close, there is no rush on the way home.
