Mykonos Areas | Pouli
On the southwest side of Mykonos, lies Pouli (“bird” in Greek), a slice of paradise drenched in colorful pigments poured from the palette of mother nature herself.
Location
Pouli provides a most fun way to explore what Mykonos has to offer outside its non stop nightlife and the high tempo rhythm of its center: here, you can enjoy serene solitude and harmonious isolation with jaw-dropping views of Agios Ioannis, Ornos and Platis Gialos, all of which are but a breath away.
This gives Pouli the selective place of standing between the hustle and bustle of a chaotic (yet extremely attractive) Mykonos, and the other side of the coin, a raw, unspoiled wilderness and virgin nature. There is no doubt about it, Pouli is one of Mykonos’ most sheltered and “veiled from the naked eye” neighborhoods, chosen by movie stars for this exact reason as their vacation spot.
Where to stay
While Pouli may be a relatively secluded beachfront and settlement, confined in its blissful solitude, there are quite a lot of villas available to accommodate your stay. One such resort is Villa Adelina, a 7-bedroom lavishly built resort in sunny Pouli of Mykonos, able to hostup to 14 guests and spanning over 550m2 across multiple levels. Equally beautiful and lavish is Villa Aura, a deluxe 9-bedroom chateau able to accommodate up to 18 guests.
Where to eat
It is true that Pouli is a long way from the beating heart of nighttime Mykonos, and being in relative seclusion means that you will have to drive a few kilometers in order to reach nearby restaurants and taverns. Amades Mykonos is an ideal choice if you crave traditional greek cuisine and want a breathtaking view to behold, while Coya Mykonos offers unbeatable french fries and a variety of local sauces (not only tzatziki) to dip them in.
Where to have fun
Oniro Sunset Bar - Restaurant (“oneiro” means dream in Greek) is truly a dreamy establishment, embellished with a modern take on traditional cycladic vernacular architecture. Here you can sip a vast selection of signature cocktails and sample delicious appetizers on the side.
