Travel.gr The first and only vegan hotel in the heart of Mykonos

It's not just "another hotel", but a peaceful retreat for the sophisticated traveller, says the owner, Georgia Kontiza

Ano Mera is located almost in the heart of the island, just 8 km from Mykonos’ capital, Chora, a picturesque village on the way to the north-eastern beaches of the island. Cycladic beauty; picturesque alleys and traditional taverns. Somewhere there “nestles” Koukoumi, which is, in and of itself, a nest of hospitality.

“The driving force for the creation of the hotel was our love for Mykonos Island; its true and unpretentious beauty, its crystal clear waters, but also our inextricably linked to the island childhood years” says the owner, Georgia Kontiza.”We wanted to show the world the unknown, unexplored side of Mykonos; the side that only a few have experienced. For us, Koukoumi is not just ‘another hotel’, but a tranquil retreat for the sophisticated traveller. It is a home where we welcome guests and share with them our views on a holistic lifestyle through our exclusively vegan cuisine, elegant boho suites and facilities such as the spa, the gym and the magnesium pool. Here at Koukoumi, not only will vegan guests feel as if in their natural environment, but also each and every one will have the chance to experience an alternative and peaceful way of being, while satisfying all their senses” she explains and somehow I remember a Jared Leto quote that fits: “I’m a vegan. I respect the environment and do my best to spread the importance of the issue.”
