Noera is located on top of Agios Lazaros hill, a promontory between the bays and beaches of Ornos and Psarou near the southwestern tip of Mykonos.
Apart from the beaches of Ornos (10mins) and Psarou (7mins) there are several others within 10 minutes' drive, including those at Platis Gialos and Megali Ammos. A little further afield, but well worth the effort, are the glorious sandy beaches of Kalo Livadi and Kalafati, about 25 minutes to the east. Between them, these beaches offer some excellent seafront tavernas, beach clubs, and water sports and diving centres.
In terms of amenities, there are a couple of tavernas, a café and a minimarket within walking distance (1km) in the little village of Agios Apostoloi Glastros. Otherwise, you'll find a greater selection in Platis Gialos (restaurants), Ornos and Mykonos Town.
This latter, with its vibrant, colourful and picturesque old centre is just 10 minutes away, and there's plenty to enjoy there.
The charming historic village of Ano Mera, in the centre of Mykonos, is a 20-minute drive away, and it's a pleasure to explore pleasure to explore. You can while away the hours people-watching and sipping on a drink in its cafés or try one of its good tavernas.
Since it was “discovered” in the 1960s, Mykonos has become one of Greece’s most famous and cosmopolitan islands and one of the hippest destinations in Europe. It is beloved of fashionistas, celebrities and party-goers, but also attracts discerning travellers in search of a harmonious ambience in which to relax, unwind and have fun.
The island is easily explorable in a week, and offers a vibrant beach life, a great many options for water sports, wonderful views, a fabulous variety of great restaurants, and a legendary party scene. With its many bays and coves, it is also a great destination for those who enjoy spending time messing about on boats, and we warmly recommend you rent one for a day or two to discover Mykonos's gorgeous coastline.
Just across the water is the sacred island of Delos, birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. Similarly close is the island of Tinos, so if island-hopping’s your thing, there are plenty of adventures awaiting you.
From the Guest Book
What stood out about Noera was the setting, the concierge, and the location. It's an amazing house and we had an amazing trip. The Thinking Traveller is first-class.
