A Mykonos family trip works when the villa is on the right side of the wind. The meltemi blows hard on the north shore in July and August, and a family with kids does not want to spend the week fighting a pool towel. The concierge picks the villa around the age of the group and the exposure of the property, and the trip runs on that decision more than any other.
The homes in this collection cover the range. Villa Mandra in Aleomandra sits west and catches sunset with a sheltered pool. Villa Elis in Elia puts the family on the south coast within a short drive of the beach club circuit for the older kids. Villa Erothea in Agios Lazaros is the walk to Psarou family option. Villa Altamira in Tourlos is the shortest ride to town for the group that wants Little Venice dinners. Villa Moana at eighteen sleeps is the multi generation buyout in Pouli. Each home is staffed with a housekeeper and manager and each accepts a chef and childcare add on.
The concierge builds the family week around the villa. Airport pickup and grocery stock at arrival, a boat afternoon to Rhenia and Delos with a captain briefed for a family boat rather than a party one, beach club tables at Kalua or Alemagou (not Scorpios), a chef dinner two of the five nights, and an evening in Chora on the final night for the shopping and dinner walk.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time for a Mykonos family trip?
Late May through mid June and early September through early October. July and August work but the crowds are dense and the wind is at its strongest. The shoulder weeks are warmer sea, less wind, and a family friendly rhythm.
Which part of Mykonos is best for kids?
Aleomandra and Ornos are the sheltered south facing pockets that work for pool days. Elia is south coast with sandy family beaches. Tourlos is the closest to town for the walk to Little Venice for dinner. Kalo Livadi is the family beach club anchor.
Can the concierge arrange childcare?
Yes. Licensed English speaking nannies per shift, cribs and highchairs stocked at arrival, kid friendly menus from the chef, and a family boat day rather than a party charter.
Best beach for a family day?
Kalo Livadi and Elia on the south coast for the sand and calm water on a low wind day. Ftelia only on a low wind day. Skip Super Paradise and Paradise with kids, that is the beach club circuit.
What does the villa staff include for a family?
Daily housekeeper and villa manager. Chef, driver with SUV, nanny per shift, and airport pickup are the standard add ons.
