Zephyros

We are sad to be leaving this lovely hotel today ! Small family run hotel , steps from Paraga beach. Owner Mr Vanos lives onsite and is assisted by his lovely daughter Zita . Every morning he greets his guests by coming to each table ! A true gentleman . Rooms are kept very clean and are well equipped with mini fridge , tea kettle , slippers and robes ( a real luxury when travelling on a budget ) . Air conditioning works excellently. Tv had several English channels which was nice for the one rainy day we encountered . Beautiful pool area ! Outdoor bar . Included breakfast buffet can be enjoyed inside or poolside - Bus stop to town right at end of driveway . Many restaurants along beach , however we found all but the one cafe ( down a side alley ) over priced - so ate dinner at hotel most nights ( the fresh whole fish was excellent ) . Downsides - very few - wish dinner menu offered a few more traditional dishes . Room Was not large , but we didn’t pay for a deluxe room so we’re happy with what we received, shower was good water wise , but typical style that you have to be careful not to wet room , but this hotel is a precious hidden gem . Price was very very good - unusual to find such a nice hotel so close to beach in Mykonos.

Lovely hotel to stay at but like many in Greece there was no lift and it meant more stairs to climb and carry a suitcase up. The room was great and the bed very comfy. There were shutters and a small balcony and a quirky bathroom. They did provide an iron and a board in the room which is rare. The pool area was perfect and the barman pleasant but he was too eager and took unfinished drinks away while we were having a group photo taken. The evening meal was disappointing. Dinner is at eight and there were 11 on our table, all ordering at the same time but some ate from 8.15pm and the last meal arrived at 9pm! My chicken and rice was merely fried chicken with plain white rice. Nothing else, dull and not worth the price. Breakfasts are lovely with a huge variety. There is a nice beach area within a short walk with a cafe and bars. The town is a bus ride from the road at the bottom of the resort, but too far to walk.

Amazing service from manager and staff. Lovely bed and pillows, very comfortable. Pool is great, many day beds and tables to choose from, spa, bar and restaurant. Amazing breakfast! Easy walk to beaches and restaurants.

The best place to stay in Mykonos This is the best place to stay in Mykonos. They gave us a free upgrade to a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the pool, free transfers and breakfast when we arrived. The staff are all lovely, helpful and welcoming. Buffet breakfast in the morning which has lots of choices. The hotel is located next door to the bus stop, which is important because that is how to get to town. It is a convenient walk to Scorpios which meant we could just walk home safely after spending the night there.

Cannot say enough good things about Zephyros Hotel. Service: The service was impeccable. They arranged a free shuttle from the airport even though my flight got in (just) after 9pm. I was greeted with a smile by the hotel manager, and we were very well taken care of all week. They have a delicious breakfast each morning - do a scan around the whole room, because I kept finding new types of food each day. The hotel also helped us arrange a car rental with a very reasonable and honest company (MotoTrust). Overall, service was a 10/10 - everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Location: We had free parking, and we were a 1 minute walk from Paraga Beach (and about a 5 min walk from Scorpios). We sat out on the patio and looked out over the sea as we ate our breakfast. We were across the street from Soho House, and a short drive into town. Room: Our room was great - we got exactly what we requested, and even had a balcony with a sea view. The beds were so comfortable that I had trouble waking up each day. Amenities: They have a great pool area that always had people but was still relatively quiet, and you could always find a sunbed. Free towels. They even had a gym so I could get in a couple workouts (especially after a big breakfast). All in all, everything about our stay at Zephyros was amazing. We will be back for sure - probably going to make it an annual thing to return every summer. Special shout out to Tina and Zeta who went out of their way to make us feel welcome!

After being impressed by the 100+ positive reviews, we stayed here as a couple from 20th - 26th July 2023. We were met at the airport by Zeta, the sister of Tina (Hotel Manager) and driven 10 - 15 minutes to the Hotel. First impressions were excellent and I cannot fault either of them, genuinely wonderful people that will go out of their way to make your stay as good as can be. Location - Ideal for the island. I came in 2021 and stayed closer to Nammos, I felt that the location of Zephyros was ideal and actually better than before. 150m walk to Soho Roc House, 200m to Sant'Anna and Paraga Beach which has an array of good local Greek restaurants / beach bars / beds etc. Rooms - Surprisingly good. Myself and my girlfriend were both pleasantly surprised and felt that the photos do not do this hotel justice. The air conditioning is excellent, the balcony is a nice touch and the bed is as comfy as needed for a week away. Extras - 1. Tina and Zeta knew that it was my birthday on the Sunday, and went out of their way to arrange a cake from a local bakery as well as singing Happy Birthday around the pool with some of the other hotel staff (a very nice touch) 2. Quad Bike hire - This is a must, the hotel work with a local quad rental company that charge c. 65 euro/ day for a 150 cc Quad that can get you anywhere on the island within 25 - 30 minutes. A full tank of fuel is c. 9 euro, the roads are fine and it is a great way of getting around in general. 3. The Pool - So much better than the pictures, this did not feel like a 3-star hotel and the combination of day-beds, a well stocked bar and attentive staff made it incredibly nice to spend a short while each day by the pool. The water, as with most hotels in Mykonos, is salt water and so feels lovely. 4. The transfers - A nice touch, a transfer to / from the airport in Mykonos will cost you c. 30 euro and so to have this as a free perk makes the cost of this hotel incredibly reasonable. Closing remarks: Genuinely one of the most pleasant and impressive hotel experiences that I have had in a good few years. The staff at Zephyros deserve the great reputation that they have earned and we will most certainly be returning here.

I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. The hotel is really pretty and well kept with a fab pool area and outside bar. The breakfast is delicious and all the staff we met were charming. Tina, in particular, is a gem and totally bent over backwards with booking restaurants, taxis, boat trips and advising us. We even left a jacket and hair drying behind which she posted back to us in the UK!Fantastic location on Paraga beach and so well located for exploring the island. Fantastic long weekend at Zephyros hotel and look forward to returning!

Best Family Run Hotel in Mykonos From the time you arrive in Mykonos , to the time we leave we feel like we are being looked after by family . Tina , Vyos , Zeta and their team are so warm and engaging , we go back year after year ! The position in Paranga Bay is the best ; close enough to walk to the bay for an early morning swim whilst Peacocks call from the nearby Scorpios, and just a short drive to the Chora . We love that we can walk ot Tasos Taverna to eat lunch or relax at the hotel pool overlooking the Turquoise Bay . I mentioned to Tina that I'm crazy about Bougatsa and the next morning it was served on the breakfast buffet ! The staff are warm and caring and we can't wait for summer 2024 ! Thank you Tina for your incredible hospitality, care and warmth always . You are our Greek friends that have become like family !
