Iliada

Iliada is a chic villa just 150 yards from Elia Beach, Mykonos' famous gay beach. The minimalist Cycladic design of whitewashed walls and exposed brick is great. Homoerotic art on the walls reminds you that you're in Europe's gay mecca.

There's a sun terrace overlooking the Aegean, Paros and Naxos islands. The villa is surrounded by Mediterranean gardens.

If you want to be close to Elia Beach, Iliada's location is hard to beat.
