A perfect location to stay on the Island of Mykonos, Ornos Bay is a gentle bay suitable for swimming and for families and there are several restaurants on the waterfront with sunbeds available for hire.

Mykonos is located in the Cyclades group of Greek Islands, in fact, there are 220 in total. The major ones being Paros, Delos, Ios, Milos, Naxos, Syros, Tinos and Santorini.
