Reviews
The staff were extremely polite and always willing to help with a smile, making us feel truly special. The breakfast was rich and made with fresh ingredients – every morning felt like a treat!
If you’re looking for a luxurious and peaceful getaway in Mykonos, Greco Philia is exactly what you need. I highly recommend it and would definitely love to return!
From the moment we walked into the room, we were hit with the overwhelming stench of raw sewage. It was nauseating, unbearable, and impossible to ignore. The room we were given looked nothing like the photos advertised online — what they’re selling is pure false advertising. Dingy, dirty, and disgusting. We were so appalled by the smell and condition that we had no choice but to immediately leave and find another hotel, paying out of pocket just to escape this nightmare.
To make matters worse, the staff was completely unhelpful, dismissive, and downright rude. They refused to issue a refund and instead strung us along with excuse after excuse, showing zero accountability for the appalling state of their property. It felt like a deliberate scam — take your money, stick you in a health hazard of a room, then ignore your complaints.
This was hands down the worst hotel experience of my life. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. It’s filthy, misleading, and run by people who clearly don’t care about their guests. Avoid this place at all costs — spend your money literally anywhere else.
From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The view from our room was like a postcard — endless blue sea, golden light at sunset, and total peace. Every morning we’d wake up to the sound of the waves and enjoy a delicious breakfast on the terrace, surrounded by that magical Mykonos vibe.
One afternoon, after a long swim, we came back to our room and found a surprise — a small handwritten note from the staff wishing us a beautiful stay, along with some fresh fruit. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and moments like that made us feel truly cared for.
The team at Greco Philia goes above and beyond — always smiling, always helpful, but never intrusive. The design of the hotel is stunning, and every corner has something beautiful: whitewashed walls, natural stone, and little artistic touches that make the place feel both elegant and welcoming.
Staying so many days there gave us the chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and really enjoy each moment. If you’re looking for a place to relax, feel inspired, and be treated like a true guest, Greco Philia is the one.
I already miss it — and I’ll definitely be back.
Nice property. Poor breakfast selection not covered from flies, and staff was unfriendly. No real restaurant to speak of.
The room pool was cold and it is incredibly windy in Mykonos so not able to use.
Getting around is expensive and challenging.
Room had a beautiful view, check in and maintenance staff was very responsive. Phone in room did not work. check in staff said to call if need anything however the phone did not work to do so and at times we needed help it was not available.
Hotel pool was never used (by us or others) as the wind is too much. The best thing about this hotel is the view and our 2 bedroom room was nice. However for this price I would have stayed elsewhere.
