A whitewashed estate above a private cove — a Mykonian chef who cooks the island's fish and vegetables in the island's way, a villa manager, and a moored tender for the cove below.

Greece pairs the world's oldest antiquities with an easy, sun-drenched glamour few destinations can match.
When to go
Late May through September, when the Aegean is warm, the meltemi winds are kind and the islands settle into long golden evenings. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- A private cooking session with your villa's Mykonian chef at the Mykonos Town market, selecting the morning's catch and seasonal vegetables before returning to prepare a traditional slow-roasted lamb and fish stew at the estate.
- A chartered tender excursion to the uninhabited islet of Dragonisi, where your crew anchors in a sea cave while you snorkel crystalline water accessible to no public ferry.
- An after-hours private arrangement at one of Little Venice's celebrated waterfront restaurants, the table set on the terrace as the Venetian façades catch the last Aegean light.
- A sunset cruise around Cape Armenistis aboard a crewed gulet, pausing at the lighthouse before the vessel returns to your private cove for a chilled rosé welcome back.
A sense of the rhythm
Mornings belong entirely to the cove — the tender is ready by nine and the sea is yours before the day-trippers reach the beaches. By early afternoon the villa reasserts itself: a shaded terrace, a long lunch, the kind of stillness that Mykonos hides from those who stay in hotels. Evenings are calibrated to your pace, whether that means Mykonos Town's lanes after sunset or a fire-lit dinner on the estate.
Whether to base entirely in the villa or combine with nights in Mykonos Town
The villa above a private cove is the reason for this journey — surrendering even two nights to a town hotel dilutes the coherence of having a chef, a manager and a moored tender calibrated to you. Mykonos Town is twenty minutes by road or a scenic tender run, entirely accessible for dinners at Nobu Matsuhisa or an evening in the Kastro neighbourhood without the need to sleep there. Our counsel is to hold the villa for all six nights and commission day excursions into town instead. The access you paid for is at the cove, not at a hotel reception desk.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Secure your preferred villa for late June through August no later than the preceding October — the best estates above private coves are held by repeat clients and released in very limited inventory each autumn.
- Brief your villa manager before arrival with dietary preferences, preferred wine regions and any sporting equipment you need — a hydrofoil to Delos, paddleboards or a crewed sailing day — so logistics are invisible from the moment you land.
- Mykonos International Airport handles private aviation directly; coordinate your FBO arrival with the villa manager so the tender or a private car meets you on the tarmac side, bypassing the main terminal entirely.
- If your itinerary includes Santorini or Paros, position those islands at the start of the journey and arrive in Mykonos last — the villa's stillness lands better as a closing chapter than as an opener interrupted by ferry logistics.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$18,500 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
