Beach parties, yacht parties, villa parties, club parties, bar parties…the list goes on and on. The entire island is hosting exclusive, extravagant and over the top events and parties. That is the glamorous side.
There is also another side, the authentic side of the island. Mykonos is our homeland, our ancestors lived of this stark, rocky land and we are proud of our origins. As Mykonians we know how to work hard, yet remain open and inclusive to diversity. That is exactly why the island evolved so rapidly.
Mykonos is a bare dry land producing frugal means for everyday survival. However the island was blessed by the Greek Gods who spared no effort to give away, charm, beauty and energy. Perpetually Mykonos is like a siren of the Aegean Sea captivating with its allure, any visitor that sets foot.
This is a precious gift and as such we, the locals, guard it and never take it for granted. We will treat you as a friend, as royalty, but most of all we will treat you as a human being in your happy place.

ROOMS & SUITES
This, modest in size, boutique hotel is operating since 1986 and run by a local family, offering authentic Mykonian hospitality to its dear guests. Ostraco Suites haw an exceptional aura and reflects the love that was added when built.
The next generation owners two sisters, Stella Andronikou who is the architect of the hotel and has renovated the property she inherited from her parents and managed to combine the Cycladic tradition with glam and elegance and Chrissa Andronikou , the artist of the family who created all the paintings and the sculptures of Ostraco suites .
Their cooperation provided an amazing result which you can admire even in the smallest of details like the little jewel shell (Ostraco in Greek) we give as a present to our valuable guests!
In a 6.000sqm plot, Ostraco Suites consists of 6 different building blocks, housing 22 rooms and luxury suites, facing west and enjoying panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.
Every room and suite are white washed plastered, an architectural archetype of the Cycladic islands and equipped with understated luxury amenities, design furniture and unique features that make your stay ultra-comfortable and stress free.

DELUXE ROOM
This is a great room thanks to its generous size and the impressive free standing bathtub or rain shower made out of cement mortar; a highly popular technique in Mykonian design, because of its natural, sculptural forms applied in conventional spaces.
DINING
Polishing the experience of your stay, for us means to make you feel as welcome and as comfortable as possible, with sincere, warm and genuine Greek hospitality. In that spirit, it is common knowledge that Greeks are passionate people who enjoy life and the company of others.
Food, social life and feelings are entangled so densely. As a result, for us Greeks, food, wine, an invitation to dinner is not just food in plate; it is an invitation to one’s home and heart.
Through, around, with food and mezedes (Greek finger food), we love, we fight, we discuss, we connect. And that is exactly what we want you to feel when you enjoy a meal at Ostraco Hotel & Suites. Our chef’s favorite is going off menu to address your appetite & mood.
The hotel’s main restaurant by the swimming pool, is serving nightly, dinner à la carte for our guests and friends. Dinner chez-nous requires no dress code, serves extraordinary bites and enjoys a relaxing, almost private atmosphere.
We are meticulous about the ingredients we use, and we are thorough in our search for premium products from the Cyclades complex and from producers around Greece. Many of our fresh, bio greens and herbs are handpicked from our own garden, ensuring premium quality and taste for every plate served.
Our cuisine is contemporary Mediterranean with references to traditional Greek recipes and we do bake our own bread. Don’t hesitate to ask for something off menu, our chef just loves putting together something delicious on the spot for your appetite & mood.
We may also suggest the appropriate wine or perhaps champagne that would go with your order, from our fine selection stored in our petit wine cellar. The hotel’s pool area is impressively lit at night and the view of the bay below is captivating. Bon Appetit!

Breakfast à la carte style is being served daily at our Restaurant. Enjoy your morning coffee at the company of other Hotel guests, while savoring some our home cooked and baked breakfast delicacies.

Open daily, from morning until late at night, the pool bar is serving snacks, drinks, beverages mixed with fun, sassiness and a bit of naughtiness. We do enjoy our time around the pool bar and we welcome everyone to join us for afternoon cocktails and spirits.
Do expect that all possibilities are up in the air and what might have started as a casual gathering, mind end up a spontaneous full blown dance party. We let the energy take us wherever, and enjoying the good times is what everyone is looking for.
THE BBQ
Every now and then, we organize in house steak and seafood BBQ lunches or dinners, depending upon the number of guests interested in participating. Traditional, rural Greek cuisine entailed a lot of slow cooking and grilling on charcoals.
