Agios Lazaros | Luxury Villa Rentals in Mykonos

Saint Lazaros (Agios Lazaros) sits between Platys Gialos, Paranga, Psarou, and Ornos on Mykonos, about 5km from Mykonos Town. Rather than a standalone public beach, it's largely a residential and resort district of upscale villas and hotels, offering a calm, private pocket wedged between several of the island's best-known beaches.

Saint Lazaros — Agios Lazaros — is a hillside area on a rise just outside Mykonos Town, known locally for some of the best panoramic views of Chora available from outside the town itself: the cluster of white cubic houses, the windmills, and the Aegean beyond, especially at sunset. The hill has long been a spot locals and visitors climb specifically for that view, and a handful of tavernas built into the slope have made it something of an unofficial sunset-watching tradition on the island.

Villas in this area take direct advantage of that elevation, positioned to look back over the town and sea rather than sitting on a beach — a common trade-off on Mykonos, where the most dramatic views often belong to hillside properties rather than waterfront ones. Being just outside Chora means guests get walkable or short-drive access to the town’s restaurants, boutiques, and nightlife, while staying somewhere quieter and more residential once they head back for the evening.

The area’s proximity to the old port also makes it convenient for ferries and day trips to Delos, and its central position keeps the rest of the island’s beaches — from Ornos and Psarou on the south coast to the more remote north-coast beaches — within reasonable driving distance. This central, elevated setting is part of why hillside neighborhoods just outside Chora, including Saint Lazaros, have become increasingly sought-after for villa stays: guests get the view and relative calm of a hillside address without sacrificing the convenience of being minutes from town. For travelers who want to be close to Chora’s energy each evening but prefer a quieter, view-oriented base to return to, Saint Lazaros offers one of the more distinctive settings near the island’s main town.

Saint Lazaros offers privacy within easy reach of Mykonos's most popular beaches — similar logic to Leno, positioned between rather than on the sand.
