Argo Hotel, Mykonos

We wanted to have a loose itinerary and originally had not planned on reserving hotels. After watching a Rick Steves' program on the Greek Islands, I was intimated by the scene at the port as innkeepers accosted the disembarking passengers. I made reservations at the first island so I could gauge the situation and not have to deal with finding a room for the first night.

We booked the Argo Hotel in Platys Gialos for €88/night. It was 1 block from the beach and featured a room with a sea view and free buffet breakfast. There was a bus stop just outside the hotel. The bus to Hora was €1.60 and took 10 minutes.

The room was fabulous. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was nice. The only complaint we had was the wifi was weak. The hotel did have 2 computers and a printer in the lobby that you could use.

Our room had a small balcony overlooking the pool and in the distance, the sea.

Welcome drinks on arrival.

The buffet breakfast was fabulous. There were hot & cold items. My favorites were the spanakopita (spinach pie), yogurt & tomato bruschetta and loukoumades (Greek donuts--served with Nutella)--delicious!
