Hotel Review

The Marylebone (modern hotel with an indoor swimming pool and spa, stylish restaurant, and cozy rooms)

Mykonos Blanc is a trendy luxury hotel providing forty-two rooms, suites and maisonettes, all with private terraces offering sea views for most, as well as jacuzzis included with many and one room containing a private pool. Situated directly on Ornos Beach, the hotel features the lively beachfront club Pasaji open to the public in addition to a private beach area exclusively for guests. Upscale amenities include a lavish spa plus complimentary transfers on arrival and departure. Mykonos Blanc stands out as one of a limited number of hotels on the island with a wheelchair accessible accommodation and the inclusion of an elevator to aid accessibility throughout the property..

Mykonos Blanc – Location

Location: Mykonos Blanc is ideally situated on the lovely Ornos Beach, just a couple of minutes’ walk to the bus stop with routes into Mykonos Town and to the water taxi to the southern beaches, including Platis Gialos and Elia. The hotel is a brief walk from Korfos Beach (not nearly as attractive as Ornos Beach) and several superb restaurants and beach clubs, including the luxurious Buddha Bar Beach only a 10-minute walk south along the beach. A pharmacy and 2 grocery stores are only a short walk away.

Tofino is a great place for exploring what has washed ashore, and there is much more to see and do outdoors. Tours to see whales and bears, rainforest walking routes, and fishing trips are widely accessible. Sea kayaking and paddleboarding excursions offer an enjoyable way to experience the nearby Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Reserve. There is also the unusual wellness experience – a remote floating cedar sauna only reachable by boat, recently featured in Time magazine.

To reach the hotel by coach, take the Fabrika-bound transport from the Airport or the Tourlos Ferry Terminal (AKA “The New Terminal”). These airport and ferry terminal routes operate several times each day throughout the summer season but infrequently (if at all) in the winter. Get off at Fabrika in Mykonos Town, and catch a second coach to Ornos Beach. The transportation from the Airport or New Terminal to Fabrika usually takes around 10 minutes, and the coach from Fabrika to Ornos normally takes about 10 minutes. The total trip should be under an hour, relying on how long you wait at Fabrika for the Ornos transport, and cost about €4 in total. Tickets are purchased on the transport or from a staffed kiosk at the terminal, in cash only. Coaches typically run about every 30 minutes during summer peak hours and less frequently at night, in early morning, and in winter. From the Ornos stop, the hotel is just a 3-minute walk away.

Taxis are also options for transportation from the port or airport on Mykonos, though approximately 30 taxis serve the entire island, resulting in often lengthy waits; booking a private vehicle in advance through a car service can prevent this (I myself utilize and recommend Welcome Pickups). Taxis on Mykonos do not utilize meters, so be sure to agree on a fare with the driver before departing. A taxi from the port or airport to Mykonos Blanc will likely cost roughly €20-25. Scheduling transportation through a private car service will cost a bit more – around $38 (€31) – but is worthwhile to avoid waiting and for the convenience of pre-paying.

For those wishing to drive themselves, we suggest reserving a car rental upon arrival at the airport or in Mykonos Town. Advance reservations are strongly advised, particularly for automatic transmissions. Hotel guests at Mykonos Blanc benefit from complimentary parking onsite

Nearby: Ornos bus stop. Water taxi to the southern beaches. Korfos Beach. Dining and beach clubs.

Mykonos Blanc – Local Transport

Walking: Mykonos Blanc sits alongside lively Ornos Beach, just steps from the water surrounded by several excellent restaurants and beach clubs within 2 to 9 minutes on foot. Ornos Beach is one of the best beaches on the island for swimming, lounging, and dining, with several great restaurants and beach clubs along its edge. There is also a water taxi here that stops at most of the southern beaches of the island. A short walk north leads to Korfos Beach, a favorite kitesurfing spot near several restaurants, 2 grocery stores, and a pharmacy.
Public transport: The closest bus stop to Mykonos Blanc is just 200 meters away, near the center of Ornos Beach. Buses from here travel to Mykonos Town, where passengers can disembark at Fabrika and walk to Little Venice, the Old Port, and all of the Chora area. At Fabrika, connections are also available to the New Port (Tourlos Ferry Port), airport, and beaches such as Agios Ioannis, Platis Gialos, Paradise, and Paraga on second buses. Alternatively, travelers can disembark at Fabrika and walk to the Old Port to board buses to the New Port, Ano Mera village, and beaches like Kalafati, Agios Stefanos, Kalo Livadi, Elia, and Panormos. No bus routes directly connect Fabrika and the bus station at the Old Port; the journey on foot between the two takes approximately 15 minutes (1 km). Ticket prices range from €1.60 to €2.30 based on the destination. Buses often become crowded, especially in high season, to the point where they fill to capacity and cannot accept additional riders. Only 26 public vehicles serve the island. Bus schedules alter every couple weeks, so visitors should check the KTEL website for the most updated timetables.
Taxi: There are no official taxi stands located in Ornos itself. The nearest taxi stands are situated in Mykonos Town at Fabrika and the Old Port, so they are quite inconvenient to reach, plus waiting time is typically lengthy at either location as only 30 taxis serve the entire island. Instead, it is advisable to schedule taxi transportation in advance to avoid delays, and have the driver meet directly at the hotel. Advanced reservations will likely result in a small additional fee (approximately €5) and transporting luggage usually incurs a nominal extra cost of a couple euros. A taxi ride from the port or airport to Mykonos Blanc should cost about €20-25.
Water Taxi: The New and Old Ports and several beaches are linked via a boat system. The Sea Bus connects the New Port and Old Port with routes running about every 30 minutes, all wheelchair accessible, and all €2 one-way per person, while a Delos round-trip costs €20. Water taxis also connect the southern beaches, with routes connecting the main beaches at Ornos and Platis Gialos with the more remote beaches at Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, and Elia. An all-day, all-beach pass costs €20.
Motorized vehicles: Scooters serve as the primary mode of transportation for locals, while all-terrain vehicles or ATVs hold great popularity among tourists, but for those unaccustomed to the landscape, these can prove to be highly hazardous to operate. The roads on the Greek island of Mykonos weave in zigzag patterns, travel up and down hills, squeeze through narrow passages, and contain many potholes, sometimes constituting dirt paths, with most regions outside of Mykonos Town lacking street lights. Plus there are aggressively reckless drivers to contend with, some of the world`s worst. Renting a car presents a much safer choice than a scooter or ATV, while likewise granting easy access to remote beaches across the island.
