rich heritage and the Daktylides family’s expertise in hospitality. With a portfolio
encompassing renowned properties under Relais & Châteaux, Leading Hotels of the
World, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Preferred, and Design Hotels, their latest
venture embraces something not just new, but truly distinct—a curated haven that
celebrates the authenticity of Mykonos while envisioning the future of travel.
Reflecting its name, which encapsulates the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds
it, DEOS sits atop a hill overlooking Mykonos town, treating guests to panoramic vistas
that stretch from the iconic windmills in the charming old harbor to the neighboring
islands of Syros, Tinos, and of course Delos, the sacred island of Greece that holds immense significance
as a unique heritage site of UNESCO, renowned for its rich cultural and historical value. The energy of
the island resonates with profound spiritual vibrations, creating an aura of tranquility and introspection.
It serves as a sanctuary, not only for the exploration of Greece’s mythological tales and ancient ruins but
also for personal introspection and self-discovery. The seemingly weightless sensation of being suspended
between sea and sky, tucked away on the DEOS terrace by the infinity pool, invites guests to bask in the
gentle caress of the sun and breeze, while relishing in unforgettable Aegean sunsets and moonlit moments.
Notwithstanding this idyllic seclusion, the vibrant streets of Chora are merely a five-minute walk away,
accessed via scenic steps leading from this private sanctuary down to the bustling harbor promenade below.

authentic pleasures that define DEOS and inspire
a profound sense of lightness and equilibrium,
ultimately transcends language. Its mystique dwells CHRISTOS DRAZOS
beyond the confines of expression, in the deeply
personal and transformative moments of flow. 
