If Zeus were around today, he’d definitely be reclining poolside at the Belvedere on Mykonos with a well-mixed mojito in hand. By far the best pool scene in town, rooms are bright and airy with plenty of comforts, and each of them has a terrace or balcony overlooking Mykonos and the blue Aegean.

Our favorite things: the Greek whiteness that predominates throughout, the dreamy poolside day beds, the scrumptious breakfast served outdoors on the terrace, the personable and professional staff, and the fact that it's a stone’s throw from Little Venice, the port and everything else Mykonos town has to offer.

And Matsuhisa Mykonos, a branch of Nobu Matsuhisa's empire, serves up delectable sushi downstairs.
