Spring in mykonos

Mykonos Island is all about rocks, rocks, rocks, and wind, wind, wind.
It is otherwise called the island of Aeolos, the god of wind (those who will visit us during the summer season will definitely notice the origin of its nickname). The winds are usually so strong that do not permit the growth of high plantation and cactuses and tiny palm trees is the only green you get to see during the summer.
In the winter though, it is eye-pleasing to see short grass hoping amongst the rocky fences and occasionally some spring flowers popping around.
Here is a picture taken today of our outdoors “garden” leading to the pool, yes, it is spring time here!!

Renovation in progress POOL BAR

Our outdoors pool bar changes location. In its original place a fine dining restaurant will be built which will have the outmost view of the Aegean sea and Mykonos town. The pool bar will be transferred to next to the breakfast room. It will be inserted in a huge rock and will blend harmonically with the natural environment. Its position will be close to the in-pool table so you’ll only have to grab your fancy cocktail and sit by the water…
Therefore see some work in progress…
This used to be where Stavros was preparing his famous frozen cocktails. You will notice that the bar is already gone and the scenery is being prepared to turn into an exquisite modern restaurant.
This picture is taken from the lobby's veranda and demonstates where the new restaurant will be located. The wooden pergola will be removed and a specially ordered tent will be placed to secure the location from the strong Mykonian wind. this tent will combine the traditional architecture with the modern attitude of Kouros Hotel by mixing materials such as wood, bamboo and glass.
And here you can see the initial steps of the new pool bar that is is being built as we speek. The rock on the back is preserved in its initial form as seen throughout the hotel. In the core structure of Kouros hotel you will see the traditional Mykonian architecture of white painted rooms with light blue windows and shutters blending smoothly with the rocky environment of Mykonos Island.
We are looking forward to showing you our new cocktail menu which will include both traditional drinks and new juicy creations!

Renovation in progress BATHROOMS

As promised, the progress of our renovation will be shown in this blog.
This pile of bathtubs is because….


All the bathrooms of our superior rooms are being remodeled completely, from tiles to tubs. The finest tiles have been chosen, new bathtubs have been ordered, along with extra large mirror placement to bring out an air of luxury to every room of the hotel.



6 superior rooms will be turned into suites by replacing the bathtubs with Jacuzzi tubs and refreshing the room decoration and facilities.




Needless to say that all of our rooms will be repainted as we do annually to achieve the fresh Mykonian look of the hotel. We have always appreciated the comments of guests about our hotel being brand new since there is always a lot of effort to achieve it during the winter time.

Renovation in progress SWIMMING POOL

One of the biggest changes of this year will be the remodeling of the swimming pool area.
As you will have noticed in our website’s pictures Kouros hotel’s pool is made of light blue tiles…



Right now the pool is being rebuilt to the popular island’s architecture of sheer cement with no tiles and water overflow all around with Greek white rocks. Especially ordered lights will be placed in it, that change colors along with our swimmer’s mood or the sunset colors…

Steps have been placed to the shallow end of the pool to allow a gradual insertion to the cool and refreshing pool water. At the other shallow end of the pool we have built an in-water table for those who want to sip their drinks underwater and gaze the fabulous sunset.

As soon as it will be completely we will upload new photos both on our blog and our website.
