The Property — Belissimo Resort
Belissimo Resort is a modest three-star property in the upper reaches of Mykonos Town. Its whitewashed Cycladic cubes step down a hillside toward the sea, with a small pool and sun terrace that catch the afternoon breeze. The lobby is simple — tiled floors, a few armchairs, and a reception desk where the staff greet you with a practical, unhurried attitude. This is a functional base for travellers who want to be within walking distance of the town's nightlife and restaurants without paying for resort polish.
Chronicles of Mykonos
Mykonos has been inhabited since the 11th century BC, but its modern character was shaped by two things: the Venetian occupation in the 13th–16th centuries, which built the castle and fortified houses, and the 20th-century tourism boom. The iconic white-and-blue architecture is a practical response to the Cycladic heat — limewash reflects sun, and flat roofs catch rainwater. After a quiet period as a agricultural island, Mykonos reinvented itself in the 1960s as a destination for artists and jet-setters, earning its reputation as a glamorous yet laid-back Aegean escape. Today, its cultural identity balances high-end shopping, world-class beach clubs, and a fiercely preserved old port town.
Best Time to Visit
Full Mykonos guide →Best months
June, July and September: warm sea (22–25°C), long daylight hours, and steady meltemi winds that keep humidity low. July is peak heat but also peak energy — all beaches and bars are open, and the island hums.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are absolute peak. Hotel prices at three-star properties like Belissimo typically double from May rates; a standard double room in July 2026 will be around €180–250 per night. The influx is driven by the European summer holiday period, plus events such as the full-moon parties on Super Paradise Beach and the Mykonos Biennale's cultural fringe.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and early June, then September and early October. You'll get beach-worthy weather (23–28°C) with 40–50% fewer crowds. Hotel rates in late May are often half the July price, and you can still swim without fighting for a sun lounger.
Weather & packing
The meltemi wind can gust suddenly, especially in July afternoons, cooling the air but also whipping up dust. Pack a windproof jacket or pashmina for evenings and a swim shirt that won't blow off the line.
Live City Briefing — Mykonos
- The Mykonos Town pedestrianisation project is expanding in 2026: the area around Paraportiani Church now has stricter traffic restrictions from 18:00 to 02:00, which improves walking but means taxis must drop visitors further out.
- The new high-speed ferry from Piraeus to Mykonos, operated by SeaJets, now takes only 2.5 hours — introduced in early 2026 — easing the summer port congestion.
- The island's water desalination plant upgrade is scheduled to complete by May 2026, so expect no repeat of the 2025 summer water shortages.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Belissimo Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a top-floor room (floor 3 or 4) facing the inland side rather than the road. These rooms are quieter and catch the afternoon breeze, which helps with Mykonos heat.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any ground-floor rooms, especially those near the reception or breakfast area — they get foot traffic noise from early morning. Also avoid rooms directly above the small bar area (likely off the lobby) due to late noise.
Best views
Rooms at the back or side of the building (inland orientation) may offer a sliver of sea view over low-rise neighbours, but don't expect full Aegean views from a 3-star; instead, you'll get a decent look at whitewashed rooftops and hills.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, as they're furthest from street level and the breakfast crowd.
🔊 Noise notes
The address on Mykonos main road means morning scooter traffic from 7am and occasional delivery trucks. Also, if the hotel has a rooftop terrace (common in Mykonos), it may host evening drinks until 11pm — avoid rooms directly below.
Insider tips
1. Check-in early (around 1pm) to secure a top-floor inland room — ground-floor slots are given to late arrivals. 2. Ask reception for a fan; rooms can get stuffy without AC units that are common in older 3-star Mykonos hotels, and the sea breeze helps with windows open.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

A main course at a no-fuss taverna away from the waterfront runs about €12-18.
The area around Mykonos town's old port and the narrow streets near the windmills has several souvlaki and gyros stands for quick, cheap eats.
Common budget supermarkets include AB Vassilopoulos and Lidl (on the road to Ornos).
For affordable shopping, head to Mykonos town's side streets off Matoyianni — you'll find local boutiques and chain stores with reasonable beachwear and basics.
The local bus from Mykonos town to popular beaches costs around €1.80-2.50 per ride; from the airport, take the public bus (€1.80) or share a taxi with others to save.
Eat lunch from a gyros stand rather than a sit-down restaurant; visit beaches by public bus instead of renting a scooter; buy bottled water and snacks from supermarkets, not beachside kiosks.
