DEAR FRIENDS A warm welcome to your own little pocket of paradise. Tucked away on the sapphire shores of Mykonos, we’ve created an idyllic retreat for you to slow down, relax and follow the island’s daily rhythm as the sun rises and sets over the Aegean Sea and the island of Delos. A place to let the days go by, unwinding in the sanctuary of your room, exploring the transcend magic of Mykonos or basking in all that Mykonos Town – called Chora by the locals – has to offer.

With only 26 suites, Casa Cook Mykonos exudes down-to-earth luxury with a contemporary minimalist design imbued with warm and earthy colors. Following the organic forms and shapes from traditional houses built on the Cyclades, the whitewashed style of our village-like accommodation feels authentic and homy, offering everything you need and nothing you don’t.

If you’re in the mood to socialize, join us at BLÉ, our communal hub and restaurant. From the moment the sun rises till long after it sets, BLÉ is your central spot to meet and mingle with friends. Sample your way through near Michelin star cuisine made from the best ingredients Greece has to offer, transition seamlessly to the pool and order freshly made cocktails from our bar whilst hiding from the sun under our handmade pergolas.

Start your day with a yoga session by the pool, a proper workout in our fully-equipped gym or treat yourself with a massage at our Casa Cook Spa, where skilled hands use local and all-natural products to pamper you in privacy. Venture to one of the island’s bustling beaches, explore the quaint villages or simply take a dip in our pool and spend long, drawn-out days in the sunshine.

From start to finish, Casa Cook Mykonos lures you into an intoxicating love affair, offering an unmissable opportunity to escape the mundane and experience your own little slice of exclusive bohemia.

Welcome to Casa Cook - we’re delighted to have you here.

"This time, the C as a Cook narrative continues on the magic island of Mykonos with an epmhasis on s acred spaces, minimalism and slow Mediterranean living."

Each of our hotels is a passion project; they fit seamlessly together, but are never the same. Whether framed by a mountain or the sea, we find inspiration in the surrounding landscapes as much as the local culture. We want to inspire with architecture and design that feels both cosmopolitan and downto-earth. To envelop you in soft beauty, full of character and comfort, and surprise with details that may be small, but are so thoughtful that you’ll feel you’re in the home of a friend. Our unique approach to space — a balance between private and shared — provides a well-balanced mix of time together and time for one’s self. From the vibrant communal areas to the relaxed poolside oases, each hotel is a place to make memories, meet new friends and be charmed by the culture and character of local traditions.

Taking our cues from how we live and why we travel, each Casa Cook emphasizes wellbeing for the body and the soul. Nourishing food, spa time, yoga, music or excursions in nature — each moments of mindfulness to enrich your stay. But nearest and dearest to us is the growing culture of community that Casa Cook has sparked. Across cities and continents, we’re connecting a new and multi-faceted tribe of travelers, foodies, creators, dreamers — individuals bound together by similar values, and their shared quest for a deep, fulfilling experience.

— EXPERIENCES

— BEACH CLUBS

1 — RIZES FARMHOUSE In the middle of the northeastern part of Mykonos, tucked a way in the countryside, you’ll find this amazing farmhouse, complete with horses, chickens and much more. Book a private guided tour and travel back in time to learn about the folk history of Mykonos, join a cooking class to experience some traditional Greek dishes, or learn how to make the morning’s bread in an authentic stone oven the old-fashioned way. The possibilities are endless at this hidden gem, but whatever you do, be sure to indulge on whatever their restaurant has to offer before you head on.

6 — ALEMAGOU Alemagou is one of the most popular places on Mykonos whether it’s day or night. And it’s not without reason; the beach is sandy, the water is azure blue, the drinks are fresh and ice-cold. Enjoy a chilled day, lounging under the cabana or let yourself get entranced by the beach club after dark, fueled by great music and even better drinks.

— SUNSET SPOTS 2 — ARMENISTIS LIGHTHOUSE Looking for a picturesque place to enjoy the unique Mykonos sun down? The quaint Armenistis Lighthouse is where you must go. The place itself has amazing views, sunset or not, but it really shines the time before and after the sun dives into the Aegean Sea. Bring a bottle of wine and soak in the atmosphere.

7 — NAMMOS Wondering where to spend good times in the sun? Be sure to check out Nammos. Open from midday to past midnight; it’s the place to go with the flow and let go. Nammos has a great DJ, serves delicious snacks, beautiful cocktails, and it’s located in a beautiful bay.

8 — PRINCIPOTE Looking for a chilled-out vibe, upbeat service, great drinks, decent food, and one of the best beaches of Mykonos? Then make your way to Principote, where you can relax for the day or party the night away.

9 — SCORPIOS The best beach club experience in Greece – some might say in Europe even - is at Scorpios.

This legendary beach club has everything you could dream of – just remember to make your reservation well in advance.

5 — AGIOS SOSTIS BEACH & GALLERY If you’re looking for a quiet beach to spend the day with a chance to enjoy a bit of culture with a break from the sand, then take a day out of your itinerary to visit Agios Sostis. The beach is in a small bay within a bigger bay, so you’re almost guaranteed calm water. And right next to it, you’ll find the Agios Sosits Gallery that has a selection of amazing art. Just be sure to pack a bag with a blanket to lay on, and anything else you might need for the day.

creativeness, evolving into what it is today. Formed inextricably from her unconscious imagination, she, as a designer, has many influences that are hard to pinpoint. But Romina undoubtedly pulls out themes from ancient Greece mixed with a boho, modern twist.

Born in Albania, raised in Kefalonia, residing in Mykonos.

Romina Tosi is a fashion and body accessory designer, who’s perfected her craft over the last five years. As an impulsive, random decision, Romina started designing clothes as a way of expressing herself and her

31

RO M I NA TOS I

Romina found her quiet place here in Mykonos and lives here all year round.

She loves to have her morning coffee at Little Venice in company with the sea. And when she needs a space to clear her mind, nothing is better than going to the lighthouse and enjoy its picturesque surroundings at sunset: “It’s like emptying while feeling fuller than ever”.

Visit Romina at her shop in Chora and experience the unique dresses she’s made. You will feel the authenticity and freedom that is woven into each piece by hand.

Her path to becoming a revered fashion designer, grew into being as she evolved her design. What gives her strength and motivation to continue, is the love she feels. Expressing what’s in her mind and soul through creation, and to, then, have people show a love for what she does, is the fuel that drives her to create: “It does not matter so much to me that I express myself. The reason I create clothes for other people is that I imagine them in their most liberated form when they are inside them. Light gauze and intricate knits compose my version of fashion, which leaves you free in all aspects of your life.”

Situated near the waterfront, through the twist and turns of Chora’s alleys, lies Irene’s workshop, where she has perfected the crafty ways of mosaics and everything it entails for twenty years.

Irene does everything the oldfashioned way. Maintaining the ancient tradition, she cuts

the mosaic tiles by hand - every tile she uses is cut one by one.

A difficult and time-consuming work, but very rewarding when all the pieces come together and res.

From its inception in antiquity through modern times, the art of mosaics is a craft based on recycling materials, a part very dear to Irene’s heart.

The mosaic artist has a special connection to the magical island of Delos, understandably so, as this is where she made a connection with the artful ways of laying mosaics.

Familiarizing herself with the techniques and adopting a knack for reproducing ancient work, Irene stayed for ten years on Delos to fully grasp the ancient art and develop a style of her own.

Make sure to free up a few hours in your calendar and visit Irene at her store to see some of her recent works. If you feel like it, you can also experience the art of mosaic laying yourself: sign up for one of her workshops, sit outside at the beautiful Cine Manto and get a first-hand experience cutting, laying, and making your very own mosaic art piece.

Today, Irene teaches the art of mosaics to adults and children alike. And since 2010, she has also ventured to the schools of the small, out-of-
